Thank you for being part of a sponsoring organization and for your commitment to supporting your community. We are thrilled to have you as part of our amazing JerseySTEM team!

Our success is built on the dedication and professionalism of our volunteers. While we do not offer traditional compensation or benefits, our volunteers gain valuable experiences, including:

• A Meaningful Impact – The fulfillment of selfless service and its immeasurable positive effect on the community.
• Professional Networking – For pro bono contributors, an opportunity to collaborate with highly skilled and well-connected professionals, expanding your network.
• Career Development – For interns, the chance to earn professional references, build connections for future job opportunities, and potentially qualify for Federal Work-Study grant programs.
• Endorsements & Recognition – Volunteers in good standing may receive LinkedIn recommendations and/or letters of recommendation from their team lead or department head upon successful service completion.
• Resume & LinkedIn Enhancement – The ability to list JerseySTEM as a professional volunteer experience, strengthening your professional profile.

As a volunteer-driven organization, we understand that commitments evolve over time. However, we ask all volunteers to commit to a minimum service term of six months, ideally a year. Except in extenuating circumstances, we require at least two weeks' notice for resignations.

JerseySTEM roles are akin to professional part-time positions, with set goals, targets, and expected standards of conduct. The key difference? We are here not because we have to be, but because we believe in the mission and enjoy working together to make a difference.

Thank you for choosing to volunteer with us!
