Free Income Tax Assistance
Kenosha Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program needs your help.
Did you know?: 32% of Kenosha’s VITA participants needed their returns just to provide for their basic needs.
15% used their returns to catch up on rent or mortgage and
8% used their return to access needed health care
Your time helps contribute over 1.6 million dollars back into our community and moves our most underserved populations on to a more stable financial footing.

Readers Are Leaders
In Kenosha County, three in four third graders cannot read proficiently at grade level. That's just one in four students who can read proficiently. Literacy in our community is in crisis. Through Readers Are Leaders, we provide one-on-one to students identified as needing additional support. Volunteers help create positive associations with reading and support their continued learning. You can help a student read and succeed.
