Volunteer: Reading Pals - Jackson CountyReadingPals is a statewide early literacy initiative that pairs volunteer mentors with Pre-K through 3rd grade students who need a little extra support, in one-on-one or small group settings, just one hour a week. As a ReadingPal, you are more than a volunteer. You are a mentor, a cheerleader, and a trusted friend to a child who needs one. You will spend one hour a week sharing books and conversation with a young student, helping them fall in love with reading while building the early literacy skills that will set the foundation for everything that comes next. We are working to launch ReadingPals right here in Jackson County, and we need 50 volunteers to get started. If you have just one hour a week to give, you could be part of making this program a reality for kids in our community. Once we reach our volunteer goal, everyone will receive training and be provided with books and materials so you have everything you need to walk in confident and ready. We take care of you so you can take care of them. Sign up today and help us bring ReadingPals to Jackson County!

Volunteer: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)For many in our communities, taxes can feel like a burden. VITA volunteers work to help lift that burden by offering low income families free tax preparation. Tax refunds give these families a springboard for the future by putting their hard-earned money back into their pockets. It's a simple way to offer a sense of hope. The United Way of Northwest Florida VITA program is now being offered in Bay, Calhoun, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson & Washington Counties. We need volunteers like you to help these families! Why Volunteer with VITA? Learn a New Skill - No experience is necessary. As a volunteer, you have the chance to try your hand at a new skill. VITA will spend time preparing you to become certified in tax preparation through free online and classroom training. If tax preparation is outside of your comfort level, we also need volunteer “Greeters” to welcome families and individuals to the site with a smile and help prepare them for their appointments. Flexible Schedule – At our locations in Bay, Calhoun, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson and Washington Counties, you have the opportunity to help as your schedule allows. Plus, tax season isn't year-round, our sites run only from the end of January to the middle of April. Get to Know Your Community - Once you're certified, you will work side by side with residents to prepare their tax returns. Our goal is to provide services for 3,000+ residents this year alone. It's a great way to meet your neighbors and strengthen your community. Make an Impact - VITA volunteers directly impact the community in tangible ways. More than $2.8 million was returned to our most vulnerable community members last season. As a volunteer tax preparer, your help getting families their tax refunds helps build financial stability for those that need it most. Prefer to Discuss Volunteering for VITA via Phone? No problem!
