The Volunteer Fast-Pass…
How the Fast-Pass Works
An organization invites a volunteer they have met, or a
volunteer finds an organization they want to
volunteer with.
Volunteers create their account and order their
background check. Either the organization or
volunteer can pay or the cost can be split. Both the
volunteer and the organization receive a
copy of the check.
Once the check is complete, volunteers can
share their check with other organizations on the
platform. Organizations receive these checks for free. Verified Volunteers updates the check on a monthly basis for the entire first year, at no
additional cost.
When a check is shared, both the volunteer and the original organization can
earn credits to use towards future checks. Up
to $8 is available per check in credits,
depending on who pays.

Background Checks Not Created Equal

For years, many providers have sold volunteer programs low quality database checks
Minimum Screening Best PracticesEverything should be validated at the primary source for up-to-date, accurate info50 State Department of Justice Sex Offender (Dru Sjodin is source)
But that’s often not what you’re getting“Nationwide” databases or “Super Searches” that are unvalidated / unverified
Derived from bulk, purchased data from thousands of court repositoriesData is stale, often incomplete, missing jurisdictions— and even inaccurateRule of thumb: if it is always instant or costs almost nothing, ask questionsDatabase searches need to be validated at the actual courthouseVendor FCRA compliance, data accuracy, and safety are all at stake
Database “50 State Sex Offender” searches Stale 30-60 day old sex offender registries that come with “Nationwide” or “Super Searches”

How Are We Building Community?
12
It starts with key community anchors, like the HandsOn Network, AVA’s, and DOVIA’s…
Major local volunteer programs, like Girl Scouts, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Volunteers of America, and Boys and Girls Clubs
Religious institutions, hospitals, school districts, city governments, food banks, youth sports, and more
Volunteers that volunteer at more than one organization are essential to the community
So are national providers and national recommendations – Points of Light, Girl Scouts, FIRST, AJFCA, Catholic Charities, Meals on Wheels, and more to come
