Volunteer: Help Your Community by Preparing Free Tax Returns (Training Begins in November)

United Way of Southwest Alabama's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program is growing, and we need volunteers! We're looking for people who want to learn to prepare free tax returns and to serve in our various tax centers throughout the Mobile area. This is important work, and it only happens with the dedication of our volunteer team.

You don't have to have tax preparation experience. It helps of course, but we offer training supported by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Please note: This is not training to start your own tax preparation business for pay. Volunteers are not allowed to accept payment for the tax returns they prepare for our taxpayers.

Although people think you have to be a math wiz to do taxes, the fact is the computer does most of the math. The most important skills have to do with working with other people as a team, listening to your clients, and applying the tax rules fairly, accurately, and consistently. And every return you prepare gets reviewed by a second volunteer, so there's always someone to double-check your work for you; you're never alone.

We'll hold orientation (come and learn more) sessions before training. Classes begin in November and are typically offered on weekdays and Saturdays. Sign up now and we'll notify you once the dates are set for training.

If you're looking to give back to your community in a way that challenges your mind and gives you the chance to see your real-world impact on the people we serve together, this could be for you. Join us to learn more!

Volunteer: Help Spark a Love of Reading - One Child at a Time!

Do you enjoy quiet, focused tasks that make a big impact behind the scenes? We're looking for a detail-oriented volunteer to help us enter registrations for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, a program that delivers free books to children from birth to age five, right here in our community.

What You’ll Do: Twice a month, you'll spend a few hours entering new child registrations into our online system. It may not be glamorous, but your work ensures local children receive a brand-new, age-appropriate book in the mail each month—often the very first books they’ll ever own.

Why It Matters: Early exposure to books is one of the strongest predictors of a child’s future academic success. By volunteering your time, you’ll help foster a lifelong love of reading and learning for hundreds of children across Southwest Alabama.

Time Commitment and Skills Needed: Approximately 2 times per month, with flexible scheduling during business hours. You'll need basic computer skills, attention to detail, and a passion for giving kids a strong start in life.

Not Everyone Has Someone.. Become a Volunteer Guardian Today 

We have a waiting list of people that need a guardian. Now is the time to sign up to volunteer if you have been waiting.

 

 

Click Here for Program Brochure

Click Here for Via Center Webpage

Please contact VGP Coordinator Lynn Hudson at email address lhudson@viamobile.org Each year, many citizens in Mobile County are declared by the Probate Court to be unable to make decisions on their own.  These special citizens - or wards - are rescued by an incredible community group known as Volunteer Guardians.

A Guardianship is a legal relationship in which a Guardian is appointed by Mobile County Probate Court to make decisions for those incapacitated or unable to communicate decisions concerning their health or safety. The guardian does not handle any financial responsibilities. A Conservator is appointed by the court to handle these matters.

The Volunteer Guardian Program (VGP) is the last line of defense for vulnerable citizens - with no appropriate family or friends - against homelessness and worsening quality of life.  The VGP is administered by the Via Health, Fitness and Enrichment Center, and partners with the Mobile County Probate Court, the Mobile County Commission, the City of Mobile and community referral agencies.  Mobile County’s VGP was introduced by Probate Court Judge Don Davis in 2010, and the program remains the first and only of its kind in our state. 

The life-changing decisions Volunteer Guardians make for their wards impact basic needs (food and housing), medical treatments or care and end-of-life care.  Guardians attend court hearings, file paperwork, coordinate with other agencies to obtain needed services, shop or take  their ward shopping,  attend doctors’ appointments if needed and stay connected to ensure wards’ health and safety.

Since 2010, VGP has recruited, trained and matched hundreds of community volunteers to serve as Guardians for these special people. Currently, there are more than 65 amazing Volunteer Guardians active in the program.  They range in age from 21 to 65, and include college students, homemakers, nurses, pastors and preachers, Certified Nursing Assistants, social workers and even a retired FBI official. 

The Via Center is seeking caring and committed volunteers to become a part of the program.

What does it take to be a Volunteer Guardian?

Volunteer Guardians are compassionate, caring and committed.  They are 21 and older, have computer access, transportation, the ability to learn basic legal and medical information, can complete a background check and are able to spare at least 4-6 hours per month to make a vulnerable citizen's life better.  And, during the pandemic, all Covid safety and health protocols are in place for the program.

Volunteer: One-to-One Mentoring with Kids: Opportunity for USA Faculty & Staff

Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Alabama (BBBSSA) is the largest one-to-one mentoring organization in south Alabama serving over 600 children and a minimum of 1,800 people annually across four counties. Our mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. We enlist adult volunteer, “Bigs”, and match them with “Littles”, who are children between the ages of 6-12 and would benefit the most from having a Big. The purpose of our services is to give children a caring and supportive adult mentor, who’s been thoroughly screened and trained, that will guide them to success, hold them accountable, and help them reach their full potential.

 Our School-based Mentoring program is in 41 schools (31 in Mobile County) and we currently have 39 local Corporate Partners, including The University of South Alabama, who allow their employees one hour a week to visit their Littles at school through our School-based Mentoring Program. School-based mentoring takes place on school grounds during school hours. Matches are encouraged to talk about academics, aspirations, and just have fun. It’s really all about friendship, guidance and building a relationship. A Match Specialist is assigned to each match and stays in contact with the Big, Little, school, and guardian through the entire relationship. Big Brothers Big Sisters is always there for Bigs; it’s a partnership.

BBBS is America’s most impactful volunteer experience because our services provide a tangible way to change a life. Here in South Alabama, our 2019- 2020 Program Outcome Evaluation Metrics revealed 98% of Littles maintained or improved academic performance; 99% of Littles maintained or improved upon social competence levels; 98% of Littles maintained or improved academically; 99%  of Littles reported having a very important adult in their lives.  These results galvanize our relentless commitment to fighting for the children of Baldwin, Escambia, Mobile and Monroe Counties.

We are not saviors or heroes. Instead, we create and professionally support meaningful match relationships to help children ignite and harness their own potential—the potential they have had all along. And Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies across the country have been doing just that for 120 years; locally we’ve been serving families for over 20 years. We clear a path to a child’s biggest possible future in partnership with the child’s parent/guardian and Big. Big Brothers Big Sisters regularly keep a waiting list of children and schools requesting their services. Our Littles have the potential to change the world, and we are standing together to defend them. Join us.

 Requirements to be a BIG:

Minimum of one year commitment One hour a week, based on your schedule Ability to commit to a one-to-one relationship Minimum age of 19 Has a vehicle for transportation Mist complete all components of enrollment process including background checks, references, in-person interview, and pre-match training (offered onsite at your company) Willing to communicate monthly with Match Specialist for support

 Enrollment Process

The enrollment process begins when you meet with one of our Match Specialists to complete the application paperwork, background forms, and interview.  Once the paperwork is complete, we begin the background and reference checks that usually take 4-6 weeks to get back.  While we wait, you will need to take our online volunteer training.  Once the background and reference checks are complete, you will attend a volunteer orientation and ask any follow-up questions if needed. During the process, we will identify a Little for you.  When all of the following steps are complete, we will schedule a Match Meeting to introduce you to your new Little.  Big Brothers Big Sisters reserves the right to accept or deny participants, or close a match at any time.  

YOU CAN DO THIS!

Mentoring only requires that you be yourself.  Who could imagine that helping out with a Little's homework or playing a game of catch could reap such rewards?  You already demonstrate that you possess all the fundamental skills and abilities to be a successful mentor by your willingness to be there. Mentoring is about sharing your personal time.  It's not about money, gifts, or events. Mentoring is often as uncomplicated as engaging in what appears ordinary to most of us...helping a child with homework, playing games, talking, listening, letting a child run errands with you.  But to a child without a role model, these are extraordinary activities. The moment you become a mentor to a child, your experience is a success.  For these kids, your willingness to spend time with them is the most powerful act of all.

Let me know which program interests you, we would be happy to get you started on your way to becoming a BIG!  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Kelly at any time, kelly@bbbssa.org or 251-344-0536 ext 107.  We look forward to hearing from you!
