MyBackgroundCheck.com – an exclusive background screening vendor to several national volunteer organizations and member of the Pre-Employ.com Family of Companies – hosted a complimentary webinar “Preventing the Unthinkable: An Integrated Approach to Protecting Campers and Staff” on January 27, 2009.
Participants in the webinar learned how MyBackgroundCheck.com developed a comprehensive Volunteer Tracking System (VTS) to meet the specific requirements for volunteer screening. The webinar also explained how VTS screening tracks volunteer applicants within an organization for effective risk management at the local, regional, and national levels, while also significantly reducing volunteer screening costs and protecting volunteers, communities, and organizations.
The webinar also showed how effective VTS screening exceeds typical background screening programs and can prevent exposure to volunteers with criminal pasts, provide fast and accurate screening reports on volunteer applicants, and be a low-cost comprehensive solution for all volunteer screening. Last year, over 1,000,000 volunteers were subjected to background screening services provided by MyBackgroundCheck.com.
In addition, the webinar explained how a “volunteer donation option” allows volunteers to pay for their own background screening, since statistics reveal that 20% of volunteers would pay for their screening if the money saved would benefit children. Combined with national pricing discounts, this could lead to significant savings in background screening costs.
The live webinar has ended, but an archived version of this webinar is available for viewing on demand at www.mybackgroundcheck.com/Business/Volunteer/Camp.
