For adult day programs

Screen adult day program volunteers — for $5.

Adult day services support cognitively impaired and frail adults. VolunteerBadge screens your volunteers with FCRA-compliant checks and built-in identity verification — for $5.

Adult day programs care for people with dementia, disabilities, and chronic conditions — adults who often can’t reliably report what happens to them. Volunteers help with activities, meals, mobility, and connection.

Because participants are vulnerable, most states that license adult day services require background checks for the people who serve them. VolunteerBadge makes compliance affordable: a full, FCRA-compliant check for $5, with identity verification on every applicant.

No monthly fees. No contracts. Screen every volunteer your program relies on.

What licensing typically requires

Most states license adult day services / adult day health centers and require criminal background checks for staff and, frequently, volunteers — particularly anyone with direct participant contact. VolunteerBadge provides the search, the identity verification, and the documentation surveyors expect.

Why screening matters here

Participants may not be able to report harm

Cognitive impairment makes it essential to verify exactly who is providing care. Identity verification confirms the volunteer is who they claim to be.

Direct, hands-on contact

Volunteers assist with mobility, meals, and activities at close range — exactly the roles that warrant thorough screening.

Affordable enough to screen everyone

At $5 a check with no monthly fees, every volunteer gets the same rigorous screen.

The safeguard that matters most for seniors

We verify the human, not just the name.

A name, DOB, and SSN can be borrowed — and a clean record run on the wrong person tells you nothing. VolunteerBadge ties a live biometric selfie to a government photo ID, then triangulates it against the SSN trace and address history. So the volunteer you clear is the person who actually walks into an older adult’s home. Included in every $5 check.

Common questions

Are background checks required for adult day program volunteers?

In most states, yes — adult day services are licensed and typically require criminal background checks for staff and volunteers with direct participant contact. VolunteerBadge provides compliant checks and the documentation.

How much does it cost?

$5 per volunteer — national criminal + sex-offender search, identity verification, a free address-history trace, and a built-in FCRA workflow. No monthly fees.

Does it verify identity?

Yes — a live biometric selfie matched to a government ID and triangulated against the SSN trace, on every applicant. Essential when participants can’t advocate for themselves.

Is it FCRA-compliant?

Yes — operated by a licensed Consumer Reporting Agency with automated authorization and adverse-action handling.
