Your VolunteerBadge is portable proof that you passed a background check — and it's yours to share. Everything is in your volunteer portal (volunteerbadge.com/badge).
Share your badge
- Badge link + QR code: your portal gives you a shareable badge link and a QR code any organization can scan to verify you.
- Vanity link: claim a friendly link like volunteerbadge.com/v/your-name (first come, first served) so it's easy to remember and share.
- Personalize your public page: add a headshot, list the causes you care about, and record a short intro video — each is off until you switch on its “show on my public badge page” toggle, so nothing appears publicly until you choose.
Organizations only see your status — never your report
When someone verifies your badge, they see status only: that your badge is active, its public ID, and the date it's valid through. They do not see your background-check report or any of its details. Your report stays private to you.
A badge is a trust signal, not a substitute for an organization's own screening — each organization still runs its own check with your authorization when you join them. But sharing your active badge shows you're ready to serve and can speed things up. The public verify page (/verify), shared badge page, and one-tap authorization page all follow the visitor's saved or device light/dark theme automatically.
