🍂 Fall break
Fall-break mini-camps are short, but the duty of care isn't. Every volunteer still spends full, often-unsupervised days with children. VolunteerBadge clears them for $5 with biometric identity verification — quick enough for even a two-day program.
No. A short mini-camp is still full days of childcare, and a two-day program carries the same duty of care as a two-week one. Hosting venues and insurers expect every volunteer to be checked regardless of length.
Yes — phone-based verification returns most checks same-day, so even a crew confirmed days before break can be cleared before the camp opens.
A current check is best practice each program, but returning volunteers re-verify their reusable badge quickly instead of starting over.
How It Works
We stripped every unnecessary step. Here's what running a volunteer background check actually looks like.
Create a volunteer application in minutes. FCRA disclosure language is embedded automatically — applicants sign digitally, you stay compliant from day one.
No charge to create applications or collect signatures.
Always freeThe moment they submit, we pull their actual address history and cross-reference it. Any gaps or addresses they 'forgot' get flagged before you spend a single credit.
No credits used. Catches incomplete applications early.
Always freeOne click searches county courts, sex offender registries across all 50 states, FBI Most Wanted, and OFAC. Plain English results with FCRA guidance included.
One credit per check. No hidden fees.
$5 per checkVolunteerBadge is the only volunteer screening platform that ties a real, verified identity to every application: a biometric face match against a government photo ID, then triangulated against the SSN trace and address history behind the check. A borrowed clean identity can't get through.
Biometric facial match
A live liveness selfie — proof a real person is present, not a photo.
Government photo ID
The selfie is matched face-to-face against their official ID document.
SSN + address triangulation
Identity cross-checked against the SSN trace and address history on the report.
Enterprise-grade verification at a nonprofit price. The same rigor banks use — built into every $5 check.
Screen every fall-break volunteer for $5 — fast enough for even a two-day camp.
