Gold Star Community® Standards & Scoring Guide
Gold Star Community® applications are judged and scored by the Gold Star Review Panel. The application seeks to determine if your community is in compliance with a host of best practices and standards which set the community apart. Not every community should apply for the Gold Star Community® Award. The Gold Star Community® Standards & Scoring Guide will help you determine if your community should apply, or if there are corrective actions that need to be undertaken by the community prior to applying for the Gold Star Community® award.
