Mobile Tax Team While

we will be operating 35 tax

sites this year across the re-

gion, not every eligible taxpay-

er is able to make it to one of

our sites. Therefore, our

Mobile Tax Team performs a vital function by go-

ing into communities and neighborhoods to meet

people where they are. Please consider joining our

Mobile Tax Team and sign up here or email Jona-

than at jbarnes@cwfphilly.org to learn more.

SHIFTS ARE UP!

Self-Certification & Refresher Resources:

Once you certify on Link and

Learn (either after attending

our training or on your

own), be sure to email your Volunteer

Agreement to taxvolunteer@cwfphilly.org.

You can only signup for shifts if we have

recorded your certification level in Vhub!
