Staff Screening & Child Protection
We are excited you are involved in the lives of the youth in Kansas-Nebraska. Thank you for your service!
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.
Required Screening for all Volunteers:
For help with Sterling Volunteers registration, passwords, usernames, background checks and Sterling Volunteers website questions review their Online Help/FAQs, submit a Helpdesk Email Form, or call 1-855-326-1860.
Directors Required Knowledge:
Directors should know if their staff has cleared their background checks and is "Eligible" to serve. Here is how to do that.
Ask your staff to provide a screenshot of their "My Report" page from their Stirling account. Here is how they and you can access that information:
- log in to Stirling using "ncsrisk.org/adventist."
- On the left side menu, click the "My Report" option.
- Print the page on a printer, print the page as a PDF file, or take a screenshot.
Share the captured information with your Club Director.
Please Note: A person with anything other than "Eligible" CANNOT help with your club, as a problem with the background check prevents that person from serving with youth. Contact Jodi Hircock at the KS-NE Conference for help with Stirling eligibility.
