Verified Volunteers
HandsOn NWNC is proud to be a strategic partner of Verified Volunteers, which is the only background check platform tailored to the specific needs of the nonprofit and service sector. Verified Volunteers is designed to make background screening of volunteers faster, easier, and less costly for nonprofits and volunteers themselves. Verified Volunteers has been rolled out in partnership with HandsOn affiliates across the country, and we were happy to launch this service in our market in the Spring of 2014.
