🏈 Youth football
A youth football summer camp puts dozens of volunteer coaches and helpers shoulder-to-shoulder with kids for long, high-energy days. VolunteerBadge clears all of them — coaches, trainers, and field parents — for $5 each, with biometric identity verification so the person on your sideline is exactly who they say they are.
Anyone with unsupervised access to your players belongs on the screening list — not just the head coach.
Position coaches and drill leaders who run players through contact reps all day.
Water, equipment, and scrimmage volunteers moving freely among the kids.
Conditioning and safety volunteers with hands-on, one-on-one player contact.
Most youth sports leagues, school districts, and the facilities you rent now require a documented background check on every adult on the field — and your insurance likely does too. One unscreened volunteer can void coverage and put your players at risk. A $5 check per coach closes that gap.
Yes. Volunteer coaches and trainers have repeated, often one-on-one contact with minors, which is exactly the access most state youth-protection laws and league/insurance policies require screening for. Many youth leagues and facilities now mandate a current background check before anyone steps on the field.
Most VolunteerBadge checks return in minutes to a day or two. Coaches complete identity verification and consent from their phone, so you can send invites the week before camp and have a cleared roster by opening day.
Anyone with unsupervised access to players — water/equipment parents, scrimmage helpers, drivers — should be screened the same way as coaches. They each run as a standard $5 check.
Yes. Each cleared volunteer gets a re-verifiable badge they can carry into your fall program or another organization, so you are not paying to re-screen the same coach every season.
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.
