Challenges with staff We look for partnership in our cooperative efforts to empower the Middle Tennessee Community to help with staff through volunteers. The Starlings is registered as a non-profit organization and has over 50 different clubs in the USA. These clubs exists financially upon grants and charitable donations, however in some cities, dues are charged to the participants to cover the costs of operation but no female is turned away. Salaries and wages are grant funded only. Starling clubs are represented in many major cities which offer corporations a wider geographic for marketing their products to consumers where Starling club exist. Local coaches, college volleyball players, and voluteers are current staff.
