Volunteer programs thrive on trust, but weak screening processes can create major risks. This session will cover best practices for background checks in volunteer management, including what types of checks are appropriate, how to stay compliant with FCRA guidance, and ways to onboard volunteers quickly without losing them to delays. Participants will leave with a clear framework and resources to strengthen their programs and protect the people they serve.
Our Presenter Maggie Benson is the founder of Sure Check Background Screening. With a background in education, she helps organizations streamline volunteer and staff onboarding through fast, affordable, and compliant screening. Sure Check specializes in risk management for programs that support children, seniors, and community-based care organizations.
Most nonprofit leaders underestimate the true value of their volunteer programs - and what’s lost by underinvesting in them. Far from being supplemental, well-supported volunteer departments act as force multipliers that expand mission reach, strengthen community impact, and fuel organizational growth. Join Houston Goodwin, CEO of Better Impact, to explore the hidden costs of under-resourced programs and learn practical steps to secure the support and investment volunteer programs need to thrive.
