Read United strives to increase the number of Quad Cities third graders reading on grade level. This greatly improves their chances of success in school and in life. By sharing just 30 minutes a week of your time, you can change a child’s future.
Reading to students is my favorite, 30 minutes a week. It’s a truly rewarding volunteer experience. I’ve done it for a year and a half with several students through the United Way.
Nothing brings me greater joy than volunteering and helping out. When you look good, you do good and you feel good. That’s what it’s all about.
I volunteer through the VITA program to help people file their income taxes, because I love interacting with people, helping them out, and seeing their happy faces once they find out they don’t have to pay anything and can get most of their money back.
Volunteers from the community are needed to help prepare basic, current year tax returns for eligible taxpayers free of charge.
In addition to tax preparers, volunteers are needed for intake and review. Mandatory training and certification is required.
