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.
