Features Ten helpful ways Helper Helper helps helpers help others

Service Learning Attach customizable surveys and reflections to every volunteer activity, aligning community service with your curriculum objectives. Attendance Validation QR codes, validation keys, external coordinator approval, coordinator check-in kiosks, and coordinator signatures ensure every volunteer hour is accurate and verified. Service Portfolios & Transcripts Your students will stand out with certified, tamper-proof volunteer portfolios they can share directly with admissions offices, scholarship committees, and employers. Goals & Requirements Set custom service hour goals for graduation requirements, honor societies, and awards. Students track their own progress in real time. Customize Events Build events your way with flexible scheduling, custom categories, file attachments, and dozens of options to match how your program works. Reporting Interactive dashboards, filterable institution reports, and detailed Excel downloads give you instant visibility into every aspect of your service program. Photo Uploads Students can upload photos documenting their volunteer activities. Use them in school newsletters, social media posts, yearbooks, portfolios, and more! Messaging & Automated Reminders Automatic reminders go out before and after every event, and the Message Center reaches any student, team, or group by push notification, email, or text. Custom Branded Mobile Apps Custom-branded native apps for iPhone and Android, plus a full web application, all featuring your school's logo, colors, and identity. Admin Roles & Partner Access Four scoped admin roles plus free partner accounts let coordinators, advisors, principals, and community partners each do their part without handing over the keys.

“This has been the best decision we have made regarding our school's efforts in tracking service hours. It has made it so much easier for sponsors, parents, and students to be able to stay current on documenting their time served as well as remain aware of what opportunities are available. There are so many features and many options for customization available. I couldn't possibly imagine a better system than this one.”

Meredith Williams NHS Sponsor · North Little Rock High School

“Helper Helper has helped us hold students accountable. Because we are more efficient now, we can take the time to follow up with students who may have late or missing hours. Helping our students track and reach their service hour goals would be much more challenging without Helper Helper! I tell every NHS adviser I know to use Helper Helper! It makes record-keeping much easier.”

Kate Dusto
Kate Dusto NHS Adviser · Arapahoe High School

Getting Started

Helper Helper integrates directly with the student information systems (SIS) and single sign-on (SSO) providers your school already uses, including Google for Education, Microsoft, PowerSchool, ClassLink, Canvas, and more. Students sign in with their existing school credentials and rosters sync automatically.

Already tracking hours in spreadsheets, a homegrown database, or another platform? We'll import your existing data into Helper Helper at no additional charge so students don't lose credit for hours they've already completed.

Enterprise-Grade Security & Privacy for Student Data

HECVAT-assessed, FERPA-compliant, encrypted in-transit and at-rest, hosted on AWS infrastructure.

shield FERPA Compliant
FERPA CompliantHelper Helper is fully compliant with FERPA requirements and operates as a “school official” under 34 CFR § 99.31(a)(1)(i)(B).

This designation benefits both parties: for your school or district, it means you can deploy Helper Helper without the administrative burden of collecting individual parent consent for every student — the same way you onboard other essential technology platforms. For Helper Helper, it means we are held to the same strict data-handling standards as your own employees, giving your community confidence that student records are protected by the full weight of federal privacy law.
family_restroom COPPA Compliant
COPPA CompliantHelper Helper only allows children under the age of 13 to use the Service when a school or school district acts as the parents’ agent and provides consent under COPPA on behalf of parents. Children’s information is used only in a school-authorized educational context and for no other commercial purpose.

The FTC provides guidance confirming that schools may consent on behalf of parents in the educational context under COPPA. Please request to see our Notice of Data Practices for Children Under 13 and our Privacy Policy for further details.
verified HECVAT Assessment Available
HECVAT Assessment AvailableHelper Helper has completed the HECVAT assessment, the industry-standard security review used by higher education institutions and school districts to evaluate cloud-hosted vendor services.

The HECVAT was developed by the higher education community (EDUCAUSE) and is widely used by colleges and universities to assess the IT security, data protection, and privacy practices of third-party software vendors before adoption. While originally designed for higher ed, its comprehensive framework is equally valuable for K–12 schools and districts looking for a rigorous, standardized way to evaluate whether a vendor meets their security and compliance requirements.
cloud AWS Hosted (US-East-1)
AWS Hosted (US-East-1)Helper Helper is hosted entirely on Amazon Web Services in the US-East-1 region (Northern Virginia), so student data never leaves the United States.

AWS operates the most widely adopted and trusted cloud infrastructure in the world, with security practices that meet or exceed the requirements of federal agencies, financial institutions, and healthcare providers. Their data centers are protected by 24/7 on-site security, biometric access controls, redundant power and networking, and continuous monitoring.

AWS is independently audited against the most rigorous standards in the industry — including SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and PCI DSS — and provides industry-leading uptime guarantees backed by a 99.99% service-level agreement. This means your school can count on Helper Helper being available when students and advisors need it.
lock Encrypted In-Transit & At-Rest
admin_panel_settings Role-Based Access Controls
Role-Based Access ControlsEvery account in Helper Helper sees only the data and tools appropriate to their role, so student information stays in the right hands and day-to-day work isn’t cluttered by access nobody needs.

Administrators can be scoped to specific groups, schools, grade levels, or graduating classes — an NHS advisor sees only their NHS members, a school principal sees only their school, and a district coordinator sees the full district.

Outside community partners receive organization admin roles that let them post their own volunteer opportunities, manage sign-ups, and confirm attendance for events they host, without any visibility into student records, other organizations’ events, or school-internal data.
