AARP tax program seeking volunteers

The South Lake Tahoe branch of the AARP Foundation’s Tax-Aide Program is seeking individuals interested in working in the volunteer-run tax preparation and assistance center.

Volunteers will be helping people in the South Lake Tahoe and surrounding area with free and individualized tax preparation services.

Two types of volunteer positions are needed. Facilitators are volunteers who welcome taxpayers, help organize the client’s paperwork, and manage the overall flow of tax preparation services. Counselors are volunteers who provide tax preparation services, work directly with the taxpayer to fill out tax returns, and electronically file the quality-reviewed returns.

The Tax-Aide Program has a need for bilingual speakers as well.

Experience is not necessary. New volunteer orientations are scheduled for Dec. 7 and Dec. 11.

For more information about the program or how to become a volunteer, contact Rosalie at 530.577.4849.
