United Way of NYC's Financial Stability Initiave seeks to provide year round financial services to underserved neighborhoods.  In partnership with the Financial Clinic, a component of the program is to offer free tax preperation through the Volunteer Income Tax Assitance(VITA) sites.

We are currently seeking volunteers to be financial coaches. Volunteer coaches will either prepare tax returns for filers, or coach them through a range of financial health indicators—goals, safety nets and assets, banking, debt management, credit, and goals—that together build economic security. Our purpose is to begin to create a year-round relationship with tax filers and their communities.

Volunteers will be provided with a $5 stipend per shift, to assist with the purchase of breakfast, lunch, dinner, or transportation.
For more information and to get the necessary forms and materials to schedule your training, please contact Ralph G. Glover(rgglover@thefinancialclinic.org; 212-614-5355).
