🎭 Theater & drama
A theater camp creates more unsupervised access points than almost any program — wings, green rooms, costume fittings, and after-dark rehearsals, spread across a big volunteer crew. VolunteerBadge clears every one for $5 with biometric identity verification.
Long rehearsals, late finishes, costume fittings, and dressing rooms add up to a lot of unsupervised, sometimes private access to kids — across many volunteers. Each one needs a documented background check.
Yes — costume, makeup, and backstage volunteers are often alone with performers in changing areas. They run as the same $5 check as directors.
Volunteers verify from their phone and most checks return in up to 72 hours, so the whole cast-and-crew support team is cleared before rehearsals begin.
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 director, crew, and chaperone for $5 before rehearsals start.
