Do you want to use your language skills to make a real difference in your community? Does helping non-native English speakers access life-changing resources sound exciting? Then this is the opportunity for you!
Join a community of over 300 caring volunteers providing free tax preparation services to low-income families and helping overcome barriers to accessing tax credits by volunteering as a virtual interpreter!
Many of the families we help are native Spanish speakers, and we are building a team of virtual interpreters to help bridge the gap between English-speaking tax preparers and Spanish-speaking clients.
Not a tax expert? No problem! This is an interpretation-only role, and we’ll provide all the training you need.
Sign up to make a difference today at www.cashoregon.org/volunteer or email volunteer@cashoregon.org for more info!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to help people gain prosperity, promote equity, and build a connected community for all ages. MFS connects with children, families, and older adults from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, reaching more than 24,000 people each year in Portland, Oregon's tri-county area. We work to empower individuals at every stage of life by ensuring childhood and youth success, fostering economic well-being, promoting community health and wellness, and addressing our environment in innovative ways. MFS is dedicated to building stronger communities by providing services, connecting people with resources, and offering meaningful and rewarding volunteer opportunities.
Description
Since 1950, our nonprofit has grown from family counseling in the early days, to a broad-based multi-service organization within our culturally diverse, intergenerational community today.
We embrace innovation to create sustainable solutions that address disparities, promote equity, and demonstrate respect for all individuals.
As an anti-racist and culturally responsive organization, we understand acknowledging disparities is not enough. We partner with community members who choose to partner with us to access services they see as helpful to them.
At our organization, we tackle complex challenges by actively listening and engaging with diverse perspectives to understand and meet the needs of the community. In all that we do, we honor the inherent strength of intergenerational, multicultural communities.
Metropolitan Family Service (MFS) volunteers serve in various capacities, depending on their interests and abilities.
