Background Check Requirement

In the safe keeping of our seniors and community, a background check is mandatory to be an Age Well Volunteer for those volunteers +18 years and over

You will be receiving a separate email from Sterling Volunteers (TheAdvocates@sterlingvolunteers.com) on behalf of Age Well Senior Services to complete the background check online. Please check your SPAM/Junk Folder in case you miss the email. 

Age Well is a 501 (C) (3) nonprofit organization. The $19.00 cost of the background check is covered by Age Well. If you would like to offset any portion of this cost, we greatly appreciate your support. A contribution is not required to be a volunteer. This may be tax deductible, please check with your tax advisor.
