Background Check - 2024
Our garden is located on public school grounds and therefore a background check is required for any adults that will be spending a significant amount of time in the garden (i.e. once a week or more). Before applying for your plot, please submit a background check using the following link: https://app.sterlingvolunteers.com/en/Candidates/Account/Register
You will be prompted to create an account and will then be directed to the background check page. Enter the DUG “Good Deed Code” hl09rjl in the appropriate box. Hit “Continue” to complete the background check steps. South Lakewood Elementary community garden is new and has not been added to the DUG website. Please select Eiber or Rose Stein as your garden and we will make sure you're assigned to South Lakewood. The background check will cost $12 per person and will be paid in your plot application, which will be sent after the background check is complete.
