HelpCounter is the first and only school volunteer software that's easier for volunteers to use than the paper sign in sheets it replaces. Volunteers never have to remember numbers or codes, they just click on their name.

Volunteer coordinators love HelpCounter because it's so intuitive that they can easily get the rosters or reports they need. School administrators appreciate that HelpCounter is so simple that school secretaries are seldom asked for help with operation.

HelpCounter is based in Oregon and is very popular here. In fact, the majority of schools in all 13 Portland metro school districts now use HelpCounter - including the state's largest, Portland Public Schools with nearly 100 schools.

We have offered HelpCounter nationally for about 2 years and are now used in dozens of districts throughout the U.S. and in Canada.

Stop reinventing the wheel every school year. HelpCounter helps take the 'hectic' out of the new school year. Volunteers can sign up for activities and update their contact information online, virtually eliminating paper volunteer interest forms.

More and more schools are requiring background checks for volunteers and HelpCounter makes this much easier to manage.

Whether you are totaling hours, organizing committees, sending emails to your volunteers, or recruiting for events - HelpCounter just makes it easier.
There's a Facebook Appmore info
Your volunteers can record hours, update their information, and sign up for activities using their Facebook account. Talk about convenient, updating HelpCounter is just a click away anytime they're on Facebook.

Background Checksmore info
HelpCounter makes it simple to monitor and enforce background check status for your volunteers. Does your district have special requirements? We can offer a customized solution.

New - Organize Eventsmore info
The hardest part of organizing events used to be staffing and coordinating all the shifts. Then you had to send out reminders and keep track of who was scheduled where and when. Whew! Now, HelpCounter will keep track of it all, and even send out the reminders automatically.

New - Manage Quotasmore info
Does your school assign hours quotas? Then you know how time consuming it is to manage. Whether it's individual quotas, family quotas, or quotas per student - HelpCounter does the heavy lifting. It will even email a monthly statement to your volunteers so they'll always know how they're doing. No more year end surprises.

Print Custom Badges more info
Print customized stick on badges for both volunteers and visitors. Badges contain time and date and the volunteer/visitor name. We can even customize the badge with your school logo.

New - Scanner Support more info
Do your volunteers have permanent badges? Put a barcode on them and your volunteers can identify themselves with a quick pass in front of the scanner. If you use a badge printer, HelpCounter will automatically barcode the badges.
