Every volunteer status at a glance.

See who is cleared, who is pending, and who needs attention. One dashboard shows the screening status of every volunteer across your church.

  • Filter by status: cleared, pending, flagged, or expired
  • Search volunteers by name, ministry, or position
  • Color-coded status indicators for quick scanning
  • Export screening reports for compliance audits

COMPLIANCE

Requirements that match the role

Not every role needs the same level of screening. Define check requirements per serving position and the system enforces them automatically. Children's ministry volunteers need comprehensive checks. Greeting team volunteers need a basic check. You set the rules — Kinship enforces them.

01

Set background check level requirements per serving position — basic, standard, or comprehensive

02

Non-compliant volunteers flagged automatically on the compliance dashboard with one-click re-screening

03

Batch screening requests for onboarding new volunteer groups or annual re-screening cycles

04

Full audit trail of every screening request, result, and requirement change for compliance reviews

AUTOMATION

From consent to clearance, fully automated

Request a check, and Kinship sends the consent form to the volunteer by email. They fill it out on any device. Results flow back automatically and update the volunteer's status. When a check is expiring, reminders go out to the volunteer and their team lead. Re-screening can be triggered with one click or automated entirely.

  • Digital consent forms sent by email — no paper, no scanning
  • Volunteers complete their portion on any phone, tablet, or computer
  • Results update automatically — no manual status changes
  • Expiration reminders sent at 90, 60, and 30 days automatically
  • Re-screening automation keeps your team perpetually compliant

"Background checks should not be a spreadsheet problem. Automate the process and never wonder if someone slipped through."
