PawPaw Analytics Platform

Event management solutions designed for festivals, nonprofits, and community organizations.

Hands Up

Volunteer Management Made Simple

Straightforward signup and shift selection designed for everyone, from small events to large festivals.

Built for Real Events, Not Corporate Complexity

Hands Up isn't trying to be everything to everyone. We're the straightforward choice between bloated enterprise software and basic spreadsheets.

Simple By Design

Volunteers can sign up and select shifts without training manuals or support tickets. Get up and running in minutes, not weeks.

Powerful When Needed

Custom forms, scheduling rules, and analytics for growing events. For advanced integrations, we offer a full REST API.

How It Works

For Admins

Set up events, configure custom forms, create shifts, and manage everything from the dashboard at www.pawpawanalytics.com. Control every aspect of your volunteer experience.

For Volunteers

Visit www.hands-up-volunteer.com and search for your organization or event to sign up. Complete the survey, select your shifts, and log back in to view your schedule anytime.

What Makes Us Different

Built by recreation and event specialists who understand your challenges.

Rules That Actually Make Sense

Set minimum shifts, require certain locations, enforce team assignments. Build the shift selection experience your event needs without fighting the software.

Points to Fill the Gaps

Need more help at 3am or in the parking lot? Assign points to less popular shifts and watch volunteers compete to fill them.

Login Optional

Running a simple event? Volunteers can sign up without creating an account. You still get their contact info and they avoid password reset emails.
