What SafeVolunteer is
SafeVolunteer is a web-based volunteer management system for organizations that recruit and oversee volunteers. It combines volunteer applications, policy and training delivery, automated renewals, and background screening. Screening options include national and statewide criminal databases, sex offender searches, federal and county court records, and driving records. Organizations can set recheck schedules by volunteer classification, while ArrestAlert provides continuous monitoring. The system also supports kiosk check-in, pre-registration, mobile geo-fencing, and a National Sex Offender Check each time a volunteer arrives. Staff can receive automatic notices when volunteers arrive, access is denied, or a visitor becomes unruly. Other listed tools include custom excluded-party lists and integration with church management software; training videos can link to services such as YouTube or Vimeo. SafeVolunteer is presented for organizations concerned with protecting children, women, and other vulnerable people. Pricing is available by request; the maker directs prospects to request a demo or make contact. Its account terms state no monthly minimums or setup fee.
