Schools and districts need a fast, affordable way to screen volunteers before they step foot on campus. VolunteerBadge delivers FCRA-compliant background checks for school volunteers at $5 per check — no monthly fees, no contracts, no setup cost. Get results in 24–48 hours and protect the students who depend on you.
VolunteerBadge handles the entire screening workflow so your team can focus on your mission, not paperwork.
Most school districts and PTAs operate on tight budgets. At $5 per check with no monthly subscription and no setup fee, VolunteerBadge lets you screen every volunteer — not just the ones you have leftover budget for.
Every check searches 650M+ criminal court records, national sex offender registries, FBI Most Wanted, and OFAC sanctions lists. A free address history lookup is included on every application to catch records across multiple states.
FCRA compliance is not optional when you're making volunteer eligibility decisions. VolunteerBadge handles authorization forms and the adverse action workflow automatically, so your district stays protected even when you need to deny a volunteer applicant.
No IT setup. No training required. Your first check runs the same day you sign up.
No monthly fee. No annual contract. No setup cost. No minimum number of checks. Pay only when you run a check — and only $5 each time.
Requirements vary by state, but most states mandate background checks for volunteers who work unsupervised with students. Even where not legally required, schools and districts that skip screening face significant liability exposure. VolunteerBadge makes compliance easy and affordable regardless of your jurisdiction.
Each VolunteerBadge check searches 650 million-plus national criminal court records, all 50 state sex offender registries, the FBI Most Wanted list, and OFAC sanctions lists. Every applicant also gets a free address history lookup so records in prior states of residence are not missed.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act applies any time you use a third-party consumer reporting agency to make an eligibility decision — including volunteer approvals. VolunteerBadge collects the required authorization from each volunteer, and if you need to deny someone, the platform walks you through the required pre-adverse and adverse action notices automatically.
Platforms like NCSI charge $16–$35 per check plus a mandatory setup fee. National Crime Search runs $13.95–$27.95 per check before county add-ons. VolunteerBadge is $5 per check with no setup fee, no monthly minimum, and no contract — making it the most cost-effective option for schools screening dozens or hundreds of volunteers each year.
Your first check costs $5 and you can be up and running in minutes. No contract to sign, no monthly fee to commit to, and no IT setup needed. Protect your students starting today.
