❄️ Winter & holiday break
Holiday-break childcare, gathered fast — screened just as fast.
When school's out for the holidays, working parents lean on winter-break camps — and you assemble a crew quickly to cover it. VolunteerBadge clears every volunteer for $5 with biometric identity verification, so a holiday rush never means an unscreened adult with the kids.
Who to clear for break
Winter break camp screening questions
Winter break camps are short — do volunteers still need checks?
Yes. A few holiday days of all-day childcare carries the same risk as a longer program, and the rec centers, churches, and schools that host winter camps require a documented check on every volunteer.
We staff up fast for the holidays. Can screening keep pace?
Volunteers verify from their phone and most checks return same-day, so even a crew assembled the week before break can be fully cleared in time.
What does it cost for a short holiday camp?
$5 per volunteer with no subscription — a small, predictable cost for a week of holiday coverage.
How It Works
Three steps. Start to finish.
We stripped every unnecessary step. Here's what running a volunteer background check actually looks like.
Build your application
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 freeWe verify address history
The 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 freeRun the check. Done.
One 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 checkWe verify the human — not just the name on the form.
VolunteerBadge 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.
