LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Help hardworking Lake County families receive the tax refunds they deserve by volunteering today for the Earn It! Keep It! Save It program.
Last year, volunteers helped bring $1.3 million in refunds back into the Lake/Mendocino/Sonoma community at free tax preparation sites throughout our counties.
Two new locations are opening at Lake Family Resource offices located in Clearlake and Kelseyville.
No experience is necessary and training sessions, in person or online, will be held for tax preparer volunteers.
Volunteer opportunities include:
Tax preparers – receive free IRS training and certification;
Greeters – welcome taxpayers to the sites;
Interpreters – interpret between the taxpayer and the tax preparer, when needed;
Community resource coaches – connect individuals and families to resources that can make a difference.
No experience is required. Training can be completed online 24 hours a day, seven days a week or at the Clearlake site between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. You set your hours to fit your schedule.
Learn more about the program and how to volunteer, by calling Joy Swetnam, Lake Family Resource Center, at 707-995-2958 or 707-272-2660, or email at
