Volunteer to help with free tax prep program
Tri-CAP’s Volunteer Income-Tax-Assistance Program offers free tax preparation and e-filing services to low- and moderate-income people (individuals < $35,000, families < $55,000 per year) who need assistance in completing their tax returns. Volunteers receive free IRS certification training to prepare basic tax returns in our local communities. This is a great asset on a resume. For CPAs the volunteer time also provides continuing professional education credits from the IRS. The Tri-CAP VITA sites are located in St. Cloud, Elk River and Cold Spring. We are looking for Tax Preparers and Return Reviewers (whom we will assist in completing the IRS certification), and Tax Site Assistants and Financial Stability Assistants who provide customer service at the sites (they do not prepare taxes). Contact Tri-CAP at 320-257-4510 or e-mail tricaptaxes@tricap.org to volunteer or ask questions.
Volunteers sought to watch babies, toddlers
Hands Across the World is looking for volunteers, 18 and older, who are willing to watch babies and toddlers while their mothers are in class. The group’s mission is to provide the first learning opportunity to newly arrived immigrants who do not have language or living skills necessary to thrive in our community. In a classroom environment, they help both children and parents acquire the tools needed to become an integrated citizen of Central Minnesota. Contact Brianda Cediel, Hands Across the World executive director, at 320-260-1072.
