Customize Every Event
to Fit Your Needs

No two service programs run the same way. Some events need a single signup, others need morning and afternoon shifts across multiple days. Some track volunteer hours, others just need attendance. Helper Helper gives you the tools to build every event exactly the way you need it.

Key Features

event_repeat Ongoing Opportunities

The animal shelter is open seven days a week with no specific event date or time. Add it here to make it available to students on their own time.

schedule Multiple Time Slots

Offer morning, afternoon, and evening shifts, each with its own date, time, and capacity.

Multiple Time Slots

Create events with as many time slots as you need — each with its own date, time, and participant cap. Whether you're running an all-day event with morning, afternoon, and evening shifts, or a week-long drive with different daily options, volunteers see every available slot and sign up for the ones that work for them.

Set individual capacity limits per slot so you always have the right number of people at the right time. Students browse available slots in the app and commit to the ones that fit their schedule.

Recurring Events

Stop recreating the same event over and over. Set up once and Helper Helper generates entries across all your dates automatically.

Two ways to set dates:

• Pick from a calendar — select specific dates for events that happen on irregular schedules
• Weekly recurrence — choose a start date, end date, and which days of the week to repeat

Linked Time Slots

For multi-day commitments like summer camps, training series, or educational classes, linked time slots let you tie dates together so that signing up for one automatically signs the volunteer up for all of them.

Create multiple linked groups within a single event — for example, a morning group and an afternoon group — and optionally name each group so volunteers know exactly what they're committing to. If a student needs to drop a single date later, they can remove that individual commitment while staying signed up for the rest.

Waiting Lists

Popular events fill up fast. When a time slot reaches its participant cap, students can add themselves to a waiting list instead of missing out. If someone cancels, the next student in line is signed up or notified automatically, so spots never sit empty and you never have to manage the shuffle by hand.

Attendance-Only Tracking

Not every event should count as volunteer hours. Attendance-only events let you track signups, RSVPs, and check-ins without adding hours to students' service records.

Use it for meetings, training sessions, donation drives, snack sign-ups, guest speaker events, or anything where you want organized signups and attendance tracking but don't want to inflate volunteer hour data.

Featured Images & File Attachments

Make events stand out and give volunteers the information they need up front. Attach photos, flyers, or documents to any event so students know exactly what to expect before they sign up.

• Waivers & documents
  Upload required forms as downloadable PDFs so volunteers come prepared
• Flyers & posters
  Attach marketing materials so students can share event details with friends
• Photos
  Show the location or past event highlights. A compelling image gets more signups.

Save files to reuse across events so you don't need to re-upload the same logo or waiver every time.

Choose whether to display a preview of the file, offer a download link, and where to display this file.
