Why Volunteer?

Be a part of a rewarding effort that brings millions of dollars in refunds back to working families in Southeast Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey! No experience is necessary to volunteer at one of our 30 free tax sites around the city. Each year hundreds of volunteers join CWFI to provide free tax preparation, increase access for working families to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and connect families with public benefits such as food stamps and utility assistance that bring more money into households year round.

 

Volunteering is Rewarding!

• High-impact and Tangible:  Volunteering once a week for the entire tax season can produce more than $60,000 in tax refunds for low income and working families!

 

• Opportunities for Everyone:  Volunteers can complete tax returns, help families apply for public benefits, greet customers and/or provide administrative support.  Learn more about our Roles & Responsibilities.

 

• Easy to Schedule, Short Commitment:  Donate 24 hours (roughly six shifts) between January and April at any of 30 tax sites on a regular schedule that you set.

 

• No Professional Experience Needed:  All volunteers receive free training. Tax preparer volunteers receive IRS training and certification.​
