In February and March, the United Way of Central West Virginia (Charleston) hosted nine young people from AmeriCorps NCCC. Sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service, this team trained and certified, and prepared many federal and state returns.
AmeriCorps NCCC is a full-time, residential, team-based program for young adults, age 18-24. VITA tax preparation is a growing area of their mission. This team enlivened this United Way site with their energy and enthusiasm, and provided valuable assistance to many taxpayers.
The AmeriCorps NCCC motto is, “Be The Greater Good”. This team certainly was for this first-year VITA site.
