  

 The Kansas City Metro Tax Coalition and MU Extension are seeking volunteers for the upcoming tax season (January – April 2024). The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs prepare free tax returns for people who qualify. Volunteers will receive training and certification before they begin working with taxpayers. Even if you don’t want to do taxes, there are many ways to serve. You can also earn continuing education credits! Send questions to kcvita@missouri.edu or register online at: https://extension.missouri.edu/counties/urban-west-region/tax-prep/.

Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) provides a treatment-based alternative to veterans to receiving "standard" sentence or diversion for their legal circumstances by offering intensive mental health and substance abuse treatment and services through the VA.
VTC's Veteran Mentors bridge the gap between “Legal Requirements” & “Treatment Needs”---assisting participants navigate the course as there will be challenges along the way. The Mentor must be respectful, empathetic, and dependable while not being friend, counselor, or therapist. There is a time commitment involving a bi-weekly courts appearance with participants and aiding as a “resource” so as to reduce stress that can easily be caused by distractions of life. If interested in joining or desire more information, please contact:
