Flip on volunteer-pays and each volunteer pays for their own check at sign-up — screening stays free for the program, and you still get a verified result for everyone.
After-school and tutoring programs put adults in close, recurring contact with children — one-on-one homework help, small-group enrichment, and responsibility for kids during the vulnerable window between school and home, sometimes including pickup and transport. Screening every tutor, program aide, and volunteer is a basic safeguard, and a $5 check makes it affordable for a single site or a district-wide program.
VolunteerBadge runs a full national criminal background check across 650M+ county, state, and federal court records, sex-offender registries in all 50 states, FBI Most Wanted, and OFAC/global watchlists — with a free SSN-traced address-history check on every applicant, no per-seat fees, and no contract.
And because verifying the human matters as much as searching the name, VolunteerBadge confirms each volunteer with a government photo ID and a biometric selfie matched to the ID.
