Thank you for your interest in supporting your community and by being a part of our amazing JerseySTEM team! We owe all of our success to the dedication and professionalism of our volunteers. While we offer no compensation or benefits in the traditional sense, our volunteers enjoy a variety of ancillary benefits our volunteers find to be greatly valuable such as: 

• The satisfaction of selfless service and its immensurably positive impact on our community. 
• For professional pro bono contributors, the growth and expansion of professional networks to meet and collaborate with highly competent and often well-connected professionals and retirees. 
• For intern contributors, the opportunity to earn references from demonstrating good work and to build network for potential job opportunities, as well as to qualify for Federal Work Study grant programs.
• The option to receive a recommendation on LinkedIn and/or a recommendation letter from your team lead or department head after a successful service term delivering results and with proper resignation notice.
• The ability to list JerseySTEM as a professional volunteer opportunity on your resume and LinkedIn bio. 

As a volunteer org, we know expect that a service term will rarely last forever. Instead, we ask that all volunteers commit to a minimum of 6 months, preferably a year, of service. Absent extenuating circumstances, all resignations require 2 weeks notice minimum. 

All JerseySTEM roles are similar to holding professional part-time positions, and are held to goals and targets as well as similar standards of conduct. The difference is, we are all here not because we have to be, but because believe in the mission and love to work with each other to do good in our community. Thank you for applying to join us!
