Getting started

Welcome to VolunteerBadge

What VolunteerBadge is and the fastest path to your first cleared volunteer.

VolunteerBadge is the affordable, FCRA-compliant way for nonprofits and faith-based organizations to screen their volunteers — $5 per background check, no monthly fees, no surprises. It's also a growing platform for running your volunteer program: application templates, a volunteer roster, compliance tools, hours tracking, reporting, and more.

In a hurry?

The fastest path to your first cleared volunteer: create your account → invite a volunteer → run their check. Everything else makes your program stronger over time.

This support site shows you exactly how to use the platform, with the real menu names and button labels so you can follow along inside the app.

After you sign up, we send a short series of tips by email. On day 3 we explain the participation certificates your approved volunteers can add to LinkedIn, and the free courses on VolunteerBadge Academy that you and your volunteers can take. Every one of these emails has an unsubscribe link.
