Goodlings

Goodlings for Schools & PTAs

Bridge classroom habits and PTA fundraising at home — families always own their accounts. Teachers and PTA leaders connect with a join code.

For teachers

Family-owned accounts
Schools never own a child's personal Goodlings account.
Teacher awards
Stars for classroom wins — recognition at school, spendable at home (parent opts in).
Privacy-safe
Teachers see aggregate progress unless families share more.
Free for teachers
Classroom tools are free — families convert to Premium at home if they want.

For PTAs & parent groups

Turn volunteer shifts and fundraisers into kid-friendly missions. Children earn PTA coins when they complete tasks; parents can donate in-app — all tracked on one fundraising board.

Kid-powered coin drives
Assign volunteer tasks — kids earn PTA coins when parents approve. Every coin shows families pitching in.
Parent donations
One-tap Stripe donations tied to your PTA group. Track cash raised alongside kid contributions.
Volunteer coordination
Book fair, walkathon, spirit week — push tasks to every connected family with one click.
Participation leaderboard
See which families are most active without sharing private home data.
Privacy-first
Families own their accounts. PTAs see aggregate progress and opt-in sharing only.
Free for PTAs
Organizer tools are free. Families can upgrade to Premium at home if they want.

How PTA coin drives work

  1. 1

    PTA creates a group and shares a join code at back-to-school night or email.

  2. 2

    Assign volunteer tasks — book fair, walkathon, supply drives — to every connected family.

  3. 3

    Kids mark tasks done in Goodling mode; parents approve and kids earn PTA coins (not home spendable stars).

  4. 4

    Parents donate via secure checkout; dollars and kid coins both feed the fundraising thermometer.

  5. 5

    PTA board sees a participation leaderboard — celebrate top families without oversharing private data.

Built for trust

Goodlings was inspired by a school reward program Vidit and Aanya loved — extended so PTAs can run modern coin drives and volunteer sign-ups without building another app. No ads on kids. No selling family data. Donations go to your PTA campaign; kid coins measure participation, not payment.
