🔬 STEM & science
STEM camps attract careful, comparison-shopping families — and the schools and libraries that host you expect documented screening. VolunteerBadge clears every volunteer mentor for $5 with biometric identity verification, so "yes, all instructors are background-checked" is the easy answer.
Enterprise-grade screening depth, priced for a camp budget — the answer parents are looking for.
Confirms each mentor is who they claim before they ever meet a student.
Multi-jurisdiction database plus county-level confirmation of any hit.
Consent capture and adverse-action steps run for you, so the camp stays compliant.
STEM camps draw safety-conscious, research-heavy parents who compare programs carefully. A visible, documented screening policy is a deciding factor — and increasingly an expectation from the schools and libraries that host camps.
Yes. Volunteer status and credentials do not replace a background check. Anyone mentoring minors should be screened the same way, at $5 each.
A standard check searches a name. Biometric identity verification confirms the volunteer is the real person behind that name before any result is trusted — closing the biggest gap in cheap screening.
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 mentor for $5 and put your safety policy front and center.
