Use Background Checks in Activities and Activity Templates
You can specify that a background check is required for an Activity (or Activity Template) in the “Qualifications” tab of the Activity. If your organization has more than one background check type set up with Sterling Volunteers, the “Background Check Type” will be displayed along with the options. Please select the desired type from the options listed.
Volunteers will need to have the status of “Passed” in the background type selected to qualify for the Activity.
You can also use the Bulk Activity Updates feature to:
Add a Background check requirement to multiple activities
Remove the background check requirement from multiple activities
Assign a Volunteer to an Activity / Shift
When assigning a volunteer to an activity or shift, you’ll be able to see why a volunteer is (or is not) qualified for the activity if a background check applies by clicking on the “X” or “checkmark” beside the activity name in the “Assign” tab of the volunteer’s profile.
Public Page / Opportunities List
If a background check is required for an Activity, “Background Check Required” will be displayed in the list of qualifications required.
This will be shown to the volunteer in their “Opportunities” tab when they click on an activity. It will also be shown on your public activity page to prospective volunteers.
