About Bright Star

Bright Star is a non-profit company that trains and employs United States Veterans, people who are homeless and/or in addiction recovery, and people with physical or psychiatric disabilities in the world of records compliance management and document imaging. We combine a business (accountable to its customers) with a humanitarian bottom line. Our top priority is giving these brave Americans opportunities to become self-reliant, independent and successful. Specifically, we provide training and employment in real-world settings with support that is designed to help them perform their jobs skillfully. They come face-to-face with success…an experience that builds self-confidence and belief in themselves.

Bright star was founded in 2008 by Dorothy Nicholson with a singular goal in mind: provide training and jobs for the brave men and women who served our country, and for those who have had setbacks who are trying to make a better life for themselves and their children. Bright Star works with federal and local agencies including the United States Department of Veteran Affairs, Veterans Industries, United Way of Hudson County, Catholic Charities of Newark, Eva’s Village and the Hoboken Homeless Shelter. We reach out daily to agencies and organizations hoping to expand the positive impact of the program.

Bright Star provides end-to-end records “compliance” management, workflow mapping and analysis, business process optimization, and high-volume document imaging services to federal, state, and local government agencies, and companies in the New York Tri-state area. We have offices in Newark and Secaucus, New Jersey and in New Orleans, Louisiana. Through our records compliance management and document imaging company we open up career opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to U.S. Veterans and people with special needs.
