Background Checks

Partners in Education provides background checks for schools and nonprofits through a service called Verified Volunteers. If you are a parent or faith partner interested in volunteering in the Toledo Public Schools, this section will provide information on becoming at TPS volunteer and receiving a free background check through Partners in Education. If you would like to volunteer as a mentor or tutor for Partners in Education, we can process your background check at no cost to you. If you would like Partners in Education to provide background checks for your nonprofit, we can do that too. Our goal is to save your volunteers time and to save you money. Anyone in our system, can share their cleared background check with you so that your organization doesn’t have to incur additional fees. And our system re-checks each volunteer monthly for one year to ensure that your volunteers are cleared and safe to work with Pre-Kindergarten through Grade12 students. Continue Reading
