STEM & science

Parents check your mentors before they enroll their kid.

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.

Confirms each mentor is who they claim before they ever meet a student.

Nationwide criminal search

Multi-jurisdiction database plus county-level confirmation of any hit.

FCRA workflow, handled

Consent capture and adverse-action steps run for you, so the camp stays compliant.

STEM camp screening questions

Why do STEM camps get asked about screening so often?

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.

Our mentors are college students and engineers — do they need checks?

Yes. Volunteer status and credentials do not replace a background check. Anyone mentoring minors should be screened the same way, at $5 each.

How is identity verification different from a normal check?

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.
