Volunteer with Grow Brooklyn
Grow Brooklyn is focused on growing and preserving our community’s assets, increasing the financial security of Brooklyn residents. We began offering free tax preparation in 2002 in order to protect Brooklyn residents from predatory retail tax services and maximize the refunds of low-income residents. There are no cash advance refunds, commissions, or other gimmicks. We deliver the best service and the best result possible all for free.
Grow Brooklyn has become Brooklyn’s largest non-commercial tax provider with permanent locations stretched across the borough serving thousands of residents each year. All this impact is powered by thousands of volunteer hours, donated by individuals from all over the City.
We provide all necessary training and support to allow someone to prepare a basic tax return. You will work in small groups with other qualified volunteers and paid supervisory staff. Not only do you learn a valuable skill, you also create community among your co-workers and clients as we all work towards the goal of growing and preserving Brooklynites’ assets.
