Volunteer in YOUR Community with AARP TaxAide

(December 5, 2019) — You’ve got just what it takes to help your neighbors in need. Many older, low-income taxpayers miss out on credits and deductions they’ve earned because they can’t afford to pay for professional tax preparation. With the help of neighbors like you, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide offers free tax-filing help to those who need it most. You can make a big difference in someone else’s life. We’ll show you how. We’re looking for compassionate and friendly individuals to join our team of local volunteers for the upcoming tax season. Our volunteers receive training and continued support in a welcoming environment. And as our current volunteers tell us, you’ll not only learn new skills but also get that great feeling from helping someone else.

Good with the fine print? Volunteer tax preparers work with taxpayers directly, filling out tax returns and helping them find the deductions and credits they’ve earned. Experience isn’t necessary – we provide training and IRS certification.

Love working with people? Client Facilitators welcome taxpayers, help organize their paperwork and manage the overall flow of service.

Skilled in all things digital? Technology Coordinators manage computer equipment, ensure taxpayer data is secure, and provide technical assistance to volunteers at different local sites. Have a knack for running things?

Leadership and Administrative volunteers make sure program operations run smoothly, manage volunteers, track volunteer assignments and site activities, and maintain quality control.

Speak a second language? You’re urgently needed! We have a big demand for bilingual speakers in all roles, especially dedicated interpreters who can assist other volunteers.

Call GLENDA S. Pierce @ 336-466-3184 or apply at aarpfoundation.org/taxaide.  If you’re interested in making a difference in your community, we’ve got a role for you!

AARP TaxAide needs volunteers  to have the Free Tax return services available to people in the Lenoir area.
