Join Prepare + Prosper’s passionate team of 500+ volunteers. We provide free quality services that make a big impact on people’s pocketbooks and financial lives, and are always asking ourselves how we can do it better. We offer expert training to get you ready for your volunteer job. We dig into the nitty-gritty to equip you with knowledge and skill to help people with taxes, finances, and planning for the future.
The tax preparer prepares state and federal tax returns. This year, all tax preparer roles are virtual! Either work directly with a customer via Zoom, or work only with the customer's data, with the customer reachable by phone if needed. Tax preparers help customers access important tax benefits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Preparers also serve as a trusted (and free) resource, ensuring customers file correctly. You see the impact of your volunteering immediately and gain hands-on knowledge of our tax system.
Commitment: attend training in December 2020 and/or January 2021, then commit to one, 3-3.5 hour volunteer shift once a week from late January - April 2021.

Mission Statement
Prepare + Prosper, formerly known as AccountAbility Minnesota, assists Minnesotans to move out of poverty by providing pathways to increase income, build assets and become financially secure, and by advocating for change that breaks down barriers to financial success.
Description
For 45 years, P+P has provided free tax and financial services to low- and moderate-income taxpayers. We facilitate economic security by helping many of the people we serve use their tax refunds to help them meet basic needs, build credit, and save.
Leveraging the support of more than 550 volunteers, we prepare taxes and offer financial services to thousands of Minnesotans via free clinics around the Twin Cities. In addition to ensuring that our customers claim all the tax credits they earned, we address the "money moment" of tax time connecting people to financial services that create pathways to economic security.
With the support of staff, our volunteers work cooperatively at our free tax clinics and are the core of our ability to provide these services in our community each year.
If you are committed to helping hardworking families get ahead, we have a volunteer position for you! One hour of your time can put $2,000 or more in the pocket of a family struggling to make ends meet.
