    Description

    Do you want to use your language skills to make a real difference in your community? Does helping non-native English speakers access life-changing resources sound exciting? Then this is the opportunity for you!

    Join a community of over 330 caring volunteers who provide free tax preparation services to low-income families and help overcome barriers to accessing tax credits by becoming a bilingual volunteer!

    For many of the families we help, English isn't their first language, so we are building a team of bilingual volunteers to bridge the language gap for our clients.

    Not a tax expert? No problem! We provide all the training you need, plus ongoing support as you volunteer. We also have multiple volunteer roles that involve no tax preparation at all.

    Volunteer opportunities include:

    • Tax preparer
    • Client greeter
    • Interpreter
    • Client scheduling specialist
