A Rewarding Way to Give Back

Volunteers are the key to “free” in United Way’s Free Tax Preparation program. We offer a variety of year-round volunteer opportunities, including evening and Saturday options during tax season. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds. You DO NOT need to have professional experience in accounting or finance to help. If you are willing and able to learn, and want to provide valuable assistance to your community, this could be a great opportunity for you!
