Background Check

Please provide the background check so you can teach in the classroom

At JerseySTEM, we are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for the children and communities we serve. As a Program Instructor working with children, you play a crucial role in maintaining this commitment. To ensure the safety and well-being of all participants, we require that Program Instructors pass a background check. 

If you have completed the background check with JerseySTEM for the past 12 months, you can skip this step.

1. If you already have a Sterling Volunteers account, log in. 

2. If you do not have an account, navigate to the Sterling Volunteers sign-in portal and create an account under the [volunteer login]

3. On the next page, choose an account name, enter your email (personal email), and create a password. 

4. The next page will ask you for a GOOD DEED code. This is a fee waiver code for the background check: emq895c
