Volunteering and giving to STEM is vital to the success of our school. Our school has a charter that requests a commitment of 30 volunteer hours per family (15 hours per single-parent family).
To make volunteering easy and seamless, please refer to the Volunteering Basics section, which will allow you to set up your volunteer account and keep track of your hours. We are extremely grateful for the time and energy donated by STEM parents each year.
Thank you to our volunteers at STEM School Highlands Ranch! Everyone who volunteers makes a huge difference to our school’s and your children’s success. Are you ready to make a difference in our school community? Volunteering is a fantastic way to contribute your time and skills.
STEM has selected the Get Connected by Galaxy Digital software to assist us with our volunteer coordination and management. Get Connected is a secure volunteer management solution for K-12 Schools.

Background Check Process
Our new background check process will be tailored to the specific volunteer opportunity, ensuring that checks are conducted only when necessary based on the nature of the role. This streamlined approach helps us maintain safety while making it easier for volunteers to get involved. Our software will guide volunteers through the Background Check process if the opportunity requires screening beyond our onsite rapid screening.

Monetary Donations and Volunteer Hours
Every $20 of donated items translates to one volunteer hour. However, the law states that you cannot deduct the value of your time. The IRS does not allow a charitable deduction for volunteering your services. By IRS definition, charitable contributions represent gifts given without reciprocity. Our donation policy is that every $20 donated equates to one hour of volunteer time.
Volunteer Hours Donations – NEW!
Many families have asked if they can just make a donation to cover their volunteer hours. We are finally able to accommodate that request. If you’d rather make a monetary donation to go toward your volunteer hours, click the button below and select Volunteer Hours Donation. Please remember that if you select this option you cannot claim this donation on your taxes at the end of the year.
