Apply today to volunteer at A dabc tax supersite in 2008

The Denver Asset Building Coalition (DABC) recruits volunteers every fall to prepare income tax returns for those who cannot afford paid professional assistance (households making $40,000 or less per year).  In 2008, the DABC plans to operate one Free Tax SuperSite in Denver located at the King Trimble Center, 2980 Curtis Street, as well as supporting some smaller sites in the Denver metro area.  The DABC will also run special "EITC Super Saturday" events at the King Trimble Center in February to kick off the tax season while creating a fun and faced paced atmosphere for volunteers. With all of these activities in 2008, we have no doubt the DABC will maintain our status as the largest free tax preparation nonprofit in the State of Colorado!

In 2008 DABC volunteers will:

• Prepare between 2500 - 3000 federal tax returns;

• Open over 100 new bank accounts;

• Provide referrals to hundreds of customers for financial literacy;

• Offer free tax assistance on an appointment basis between May and October; and

• Continue to offer tax educational outreach throughout the year at various locations throughout the community.

These are all ambitious goals that cannot be accomplished without your valuable volunteer skills and assistance.

Currently the DABC has many volunteer positions to match various backgrounds and interests:

• Tax Site Coordinators;

• Tax Assistors;

• Translators (Spanish);

• Training Instructors; 

• Computer Specialists; and

• Administrative Assistant (new for 2008).

After the completion of training (generally 4-24 hours depending on experience and volunteer position selected), the DABC requires volunteers to commit to a minimum of
24 hours of volunteer service during the period of January to April.
