Our volunteers change lives every day. Make a real difference in your community with AARP Foundation Tax-Aide and Experience Corps.

AARP Foundation volunteers fulfill our mission in the most direct way possible: by sharing their knowledge, skills and wisdom with their communities. Whether helping older adults with low income file their taxes with AARP Foundation Tax-Aide or tutoring young students to read at grade level with AARP Foundation Experience Corps, our volunteers transform lives. The results are stronger communities, a greater sense of fulfillment for our older adult volunteers, and important steps toward reducing senior poverty.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide: Helps Older Adults Keep More of the Money They’ve Earned

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide provides tax assistance to anyone, free of charge, with a focus on taxpayers who are over 50 and have low to moderate income. We are looking for volunteers who can work in a variety of roles.

Since 1968, Tax-Aide volunteers have served their communities and helped over 80 million people complete and file their tax returns nationwide. This year, nearly 28,000 Tax-Aide volunteers helped secure almost $1.3 billion in total refunds for nearly 1.7 million people. 

You’ll receive training and support, learn new skills, and meet new people while helping others. Learn more about AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Volunteer opportunities.
