If you are passionate about helping the community, we want to talk to you!

As the leading not-for-profit member-owned financial cooperative in the Eastern Sierra and Kern County, volunteers play an integral role in the credit union. AltaOne serves a vast area with a diverse population, and we are always looking for volunteers that represent the geographical, cultural and uniqueness of our membership.

Supervisory Committee

The Supervisory Committee’s overriding concern is to protect the financial assets of the credit union and its members. They do this by verifying internal controls and ensuring policies and procedures are maintained and followed.

All committee positions are volunteer positions. Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. Board and committee members are unpaid officials.

Event Volunteers

We host a multitude of events across the credit union: workshops, festivals, old-fashioned carnivals, movie nights, egg hunts, etc. These events are free of charge, and we consider them our ‘gift to the community.’

As our events grow, we rely on event volunteers to help us produce and improve our events. Past volunteers have included credit union members, staff, community groups, and youth organizations.
