Congratulations on your new position and welcome to Stewards Individual Placements and Conservation Legacy!

During your onboarding, you will be assigned an Enrollment Specialist to support you as you complete the enrollment process. You may have already received your welcome email.

You’ll also be sent an email from Conservation Legacy Onboarding (also called SilkRoad Onboarding), which is the software we use for you to complete and upload your enrollment paperwork. The system will assign due dates to your tasks; these are simply to keep you on track, they are not hard due dates. Make sure you complete all of these tasks at least one week before your start date. Keep in mind we have administrative tasks to complete after your tasks are done. What that really means – you can’t start your term until all your tasks are completed and the Enrollment Specialist has processed all that information.

Please begin the process for your FBI criminal history check/state checks and upload your IDs as soon as possible since this process can take quite a while. These background checks are separate from the ones you will do for your site or any you’ve done in the past.

Confused about why you have so many emails from different partners and systems? You will be serving at a site, usually a federal or state agency or a non-profit. Your participation is managed by Conservation Legacy under the local program Stewards Individual Placements, whether or not you’re an AmeriCorps member. These partners (your site and Conservation Legacy) are not able to share information, so in some cases, you will need to complete duplicate tasks, like your background checks. For both partners, you’ll be receiving emails from different systems. So, keep an eye out for anything that could look job-related, so you don’t miss something or accidentally cause a delay.

All of your onboarding paperwork will use your legal name and you should sign all paperwork using your full legal name. If you have a preferred name and pronouns you would like us to use, please let us know. You can send an email or update your Profile section on SilkRoad Onboarding.

Check out our FAQ page for more information and reach out to your Enrollment Specialist with any questions.
