If you’re interested in making a difference in your community, then AARP Foundation has a role for you. You can volunteer in person, online or by phone.
Who will you help as a volunteer?
The foundation offers free tax preparation help to anyone, with special attention to older, low-income taxpayers. We understand that many individuals may miss out on credits and deductions they’ve earned because they can’t afford to pay for professional tax preparation.
Good with the fine print? Be a volunteer tax preparer.
You’ll work with taxpayers directly; filling out tax returns and helping them seek a refund. Experience isn’t necessary — we’ll provide training and IRS certification.
Love working with people? Be a client facilitator.
You’ll welcome taxpayers, help organize their paperwork and manage the overall flow of service.
Skilled in all things digital? Be a technology coordinator.
You’ll manage computer equipment, ensure taxpayer data security and provide technical assistance to volunteers at multiple sites.
Want to help get the word out? Be a communications coordinator.
You’ll promote AARP Foundation Tax-Aide and recruit volunteers in your community.
Have a knack for running things? Be a leadership or administrative volunteer.
Manage volunteers, make sure program operations run smoothly, 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. We also have a need for dedicated interpreters who can assist other volunteers.
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offered in conjunction with the IRS.
