“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 School District
“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.”

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.
