The Center for Economic Progress is opening our volunteer recruitment on Monday, October 12th.
The Center for Economic Progress (CEP) is looking for volunteers to work one-on-one with low-income families to make tax time an opportunity to get ahead.
To volunteer at a tax preparation site:
• All training is provided; classes run through January.
• No experience is necessary. We train a range of volunteers, including people with no background in taxes. If you’re bilingual, we need you.
• Volunteers commit 25 hours of volunteering total during the tax season, late January to April 15th.
Volunteer positions available as:
• Tax Preparer: Work with clients to file federal and state tax returns and provide counseling on tax credits and forms.
• Tax Site Specialist: Perform essential nontax-preparation activities, including client intake, translating and educating on basic banking options available on site.
• Savings Coach: Work with clients at our tax preparation locations to share the importance of saving and encourage them to use a portion of their tax refund to accomplish this goal.
A flyer has been attached with more information and details to register for volunteer. If you have any further questions contact volunteer@economicprogress.org or (312) 630-0266.
