Volunteers play a significant role in your mission and your community. That’s why it’s crucial to find the right fit for your organization’s needs. We help nonprofit organizations like yours screen their staff and volunteers to ensure that representatives of their nonprofits go into their communities as the best agents of their mission.
As a nonprofit organization, you can be held legally accountable for actions taken by volunteers and workers. Performing background screening, such as criminal history and drug testing, can reduce liability and mitigate risk.
Your volunteers are eager to further your mission! Screening delays can lead to a negative onboarding experience. Verified First makes it simple to quickly screen and review background checks without leaving your current management platform.
Nonprofit organizations that background screen send a strong message to their community — we care about protecting you. Improper screening of volunteers can lead to a damaged brand, a decrease in donations, and a loss of trust from your community.

Your company’s mission is unique and so are your background screening needs. With so many choices, it might be hard to know where to start. Here's a list of background screening options that many nonprofits utilize for their volunteers:
Verified First is your one-stop shop for all of your background screening needs. Our custom service options allow you to build packages based on your unique needs, making us an excellent choice for all types of nonprofits. We offer all of the screening services above and more!
Most organizations screen employees and/or volunteers during onboarding – and then never again. If an individual commits a crime, has a license revoked, or loses work authorization after being hired, you may never find out and your organization may be at risk.
Continuous screening allows you to hire and retain quality talent. Rescreening current employees and volunteers can address changes that may impact their continued qualifications for an existing role.
Verified First provides direct access to records for rapid results, while maintaining FCRA compliance and PBSA Accreditation. Verified First's solution reduces data entry allowing you to place your batch rescreen order within minutes!
Our solution integrates with the ATS and HRIS systems you love so you can conduct background checks within your current platform!
