BME was just featured on ABC, CBS, Politico, Newsweek, and many more outlets for our vaccination project and we need more people to join us as we continue to solve urgent social issues! CBS News said of our newest app: "Health experts have said friends and family are key to getting those who aren't vaccinated and experts say this (Vaccination Rewards) app will start those conversations."

Bright Mind Enrichment is a community wellness 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our newest project is Vaccination Rewards, a unique tool to help people during the pandemic. We also recently launched a community wellness initiative, Street Care, focused on helping vulnerable populations through our deployable online and on-the-streets outreach program approach. For Street Care, we have developed an app road-mapped to provide volunteers with background context, how-to videos, and interactive functionality -- to enable anyone to feel prepared to go out and help homeless people safely and effectively.

Bright Mind Enrichment (BME) has recently expanded into new areas in our work with the most vulnerable populations (notably via our streetcare.us initiative and a new micro-school project), and we are taking on new volunteers. We are seeking a Grant Researcher and/or Writer to help us write with grant research and writing.. This is a great time to join our team and make an impact through your words - you will be involved in developing captivating copy for our marketing initiatives, campaigns, branding statements and social media channels.
