Volunteer
“Volunteering is at the very core of being a human. No one has made it through life without someone else’s help.”
— Heather French Henry
Giving your time and talent is something of tremendous value. We appreciate – beyond any sentiment we could possibly express – every minute and every hour you give to us. Our need for volunteers varies, so we recommend you contact a member of our staff to see about current opportunities.
Volunteer Opportunities
GED Tutors
Getting a GED certificate can open the door to a better job, promotions or even a higher education. We are looking for GED tutors to connect with participants and help them master GED essentials—math, grammar, reading comprehension. You can tutor in the area where you are strongest.
​
Sessions run Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 5–7 p.m.
​
Contact us for more information at 218-726-1665 or info@communityactionduluth.org.
Free Tax Site
​
Volunteers helped 1,525 families claim almost $2.9 million in refunds last year. Our clients generally have little access to affordable, professional tax preparation. One hour of your time can put an average of $1,895 in the pockets of low- and moderate-income families and individuals.
Join us at the Free Tax Site where you’ll meet some great people and we’ll provide all the training you need. Learn more about volunteering and how to apply to help!
