Got Questions? We Have Answers.

How often should volunteers be background checked?

This depends on your organization’s policy. Most groups run checks at onboarding and then re-screen periodically (e.g., annually or every few years). Secure Volunteer allows you to customize screening frequency by role and risk level.



What's included in a volunteer check?

Volunteer screening can include background checks, reference checks, verification services, driving records (MVR), fingerprinting, drug testing, occupational health screening, and I-9 verifications—depending on what your organization enables.



Can volunteers pay for their own check?

Yes. The platform supports flexible payment models where volunteers can pay fully, costs can be split, or the organization can cover the expense, and you can adjust this anytime.



Is the check renewable?

Yes, checks can be re-run or updated based on your organization’s policy. Many teams set automatic or scheduled re-screening to keep records current as volunteers continue service.



What about multi-state checks?

Yes. Background screening can cover multiple jurisdictions depending on the scope selected, helping ensure volunteers are properly screened even if they have lived in different states.
