About JerseySTEM
JerseySTEM is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing STEM education to underserved communities across New Jersey. We currently serve 27 schools, operate on a July 1–June 30 fiscal year, and receive donations through multiple channels including online platforms and direct contributions. We are a 501(c)(3) and must file an IRS Form 990 annually.

We’re looking for a Treasurer and Bookkeeper volunteer to build that foundation from the ground up — setting up QuickBooks, establishing a budget process, and ensuring we’re filing on time every year. This is a high-impact, strategic volunteer role for someone who wants to leave a lasting mark on a growing nonprofit.
