This is a very gratifying job. Please share it. We need volunteers, including greeters.
The AARP foundation provides training.
They also need monetary donations, to pay for the computers and training materials.

Help people and give your mind a workout, too.
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is the nation's largest volunteer-run tax preparation and assistance service. And we want you to join us.
We started in 1968 with just four volunteers at one site preparing 100 tax returns. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide now involves more than 35,000 volunteers and serves 2.6 million taxpayers annually at more than 5,000 sites nationwide. In fact, we're one of the most effective volunteer programs in America.
But even though we've grown a lot, we're still all about the grassroots. You'll be helping people in your own community with a much-needed service that's free, individualized and has no strings attached.
Almost four out of five people who turn to AARP Foundation Tax-Aide are 60 or older. Household incomes aren't high. For many of them, a tax refund could mean they won't have to choose between paying for groceries and keeping the lights on.
Who volunteers?
People like you. And there's a role for everyone.
Good with numbers? Be a tax volunteer.
You'll work with taxpayers directly; filling out tax returns and helping them seek a refund. Experience isn't necessary — we'll train you on the latest tax preparation forms and software.

You'll manage computer equipment, ensure taxpayer data security and provide technical assistance to volunteers at multiple sites.

You'll welcome taxpayers, help organize their paperwork and manage the overall flow of service.
Want to help us get the word out? Be a communications coordinator.
