Everything Your Parent Group Needs
The GreenMount School · Independent K-8 School
“It is incredibly easy to use and adjust on the admin side of things, and so user friendly for our parents. Users can see available opportunities, log their own hours, and sign up to help with what the school needs. We can send push notifications for mass messaging, get immediate reporting, track service hours, and basically everything is now in one place. The team is also incredibly responsive and helpful.”
From scattered tools to one platform
Most parent organizations cobble together a stack of free tools: a sign-up site, a spreadsheet, a Facebook group, a paper log at the front desk. Hours go untracked, families lose visibility into where they stand against their commitment, and staff burn weekend hours sending reminder emails. By the time the school reports on family engagement, the data is months stale.
Helper Helper consolidates everything into one platform. Coordinators post opportunities once and the same data flows through the parent app, the family's personalized progress page, and the admin reporting dashboard. Families see their contributions in real time, get push notifications when last-minute help is needed, and log past hours that get verified by a teacher with one click.
HECVAT-assessed, FERPA-compliant, encrypted in-transit and at-rest, hosted on AWS infrastructure.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

“I was hesitant to pay for a service we were surviving without, but I do not regret it for a moment. The amount of time I have saved has more than paid for the service and then some!”
— Andie Cummings, Student Ambassador Advisor, Manatee School for the Arts
Parent Groups Trust Helper Helper
“One HUGE win is that this has been a consistent method for us to post and share needs at our school. Before Helper Helper, we didn't have a good way to communicate the needs.”
“Each family is set up as a team and assigned a goal aligned with their tuition contract. Each family's personalized goal displays the percentage of their requirement completed, giving families clear, ongoing visibility into their progress.”
Parent volunteering has constraints that other organizations don't. Tuition-contract volunteer requirements need per-family goal tracking. Volunteers are adults with jobs and reminders need to land on a phone or email, not a hallway poster. Catholic and independent schools often run multi-event annual fundraisers that benefit from kiosk check-in and waiver collection at the door. Helper Helper ships every one of these features out of the box.
