🌙 Overnight & residential
An overnight camp hands counselors round-the-clock access to children — cabins, showers, and lights-out included. Nothing in youth programming requires more careful vetting. VolunteerBadge clears every counselor and staff member for $5 with biometric identity verification.
Sleeping quarters, changing areas, and overnight supervision are the conditions child-protection standards scrutinize most. Camp accreditation bodies and insurers require a documented background check on every person living on-site — campers' parents are trusting you with their kids overnight.
A residential camp gives counselors 24-hour access — cabins, showers, and lights-out included. No setting in youth programming carries more trust, which is why every counselor and volunteer needs a thorough, documented background check, not a quick name search.
Yes — anyone living on-site or with access to campers, including support staff and night watch. Each is a single $5 check with identity verification and a full criminal and registry search.
Start well before arrivals — but even a late hire is workable: most checks return in up to 72 hours via phone-based verification.
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 everyone living on-site for $5 — the trust an overnight camp demands.
