Help Working Families. Build Your Resume. Volunteer at Tax Time!

The Campaign for Working Families invites you to join the team of over 700 volunteers to save working families thousands of dollars in tax preparation fees. Learn how to provide free tax preparation or help in other ways!

As a volunteer, you can gain valuable skills and work experience that can enhance your resume. Volunteer tax preparers receive professional training and IRS certification. No experience necessary; all training provided. There are many ways that you can also help at the tax sites: greet customers, screen applications for benefits such as SNAP, LIHEAP, assist with FAFSA applications, help families purchase US saving bonds, open pre-paid debit cards, and organize paperwork.
