Via the Center for Economic Progress

The Center for Economic Progress is looking for volunteers interested in building skills, meeting new people, and working one-on-one with low-income families to help them move toward financial security.
   
To volunteer at our Uptown tax preparation sites:

• No experience is necessary—choose a position to fit your current skills or learn something new.
• All trainings are provided; classes run in January.
• Volunteers are asked to donate 20 hours at our Uptown tax sites at Truman College (1145 W. Wilson Ave.) or North Side Credit Union (1011 W. Lawrence Ave.) between January and April.

Volunteer positions available as:

• Tax preparers: Work one-on-one with clients to file federal and state tax returns and provide counseling on tax credits and forms.
• Tax site assistants: Perform essential non-tax-preparation activities, including client greeting and screening, translating and/or administrative duties.

See why over 1,200 volunteers dedicated last winter to serving 33,000 families statewide! View training schedules, find a site near you, and register to volunteer at www.economicprogress.org/volunteer.
