AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Volunteers
Listen to Tax-Aide volunteer stories about what AARP Foundation Tax-Aide means to them.
Tax-Aide volunteers are as diverse in their experiences as the taxpayers they help. But they’re driven by a common sense of purpose – to be of service, and to have fun while they’re doing it!

Experience Corps Volunteers
Bill Wolff, Experience Corps volunteer
Bill Wolff has one mighty impressive stat when it comes to volunteering: He's devoted more than 10,000 hours as a tutor to help children in the Boston area become better readers. Early on, he learned the valuable lesson that building a relationship with those he tutors is vital. Bill's devotion was rewarded in 2024 when he received the President's Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteer Service. Read the rest of Bill's story.
