Programs like Same Day Work and Pay, WorkReady, Community Resource Corps (CRC) and Serve Philly AmeriCorps Vista programs offer great professional development opportunities for people of every age and stage of life and a pipeline to success.
In 2020, in response to the economic effects of the pandemic, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) expanded its workforce development activities by launching the newly-named “Same Day Work and Pay” program with funding from the City of Philadelphia.
Through this program, PHS partners with community organizations to employ under and unemployed Philadelphians to perform daily work assignments such as clearing vacant lots, cleaning street corridors, and completing other community improvement tasks. Participants receive $100 per day, and are paid on-site where they can also connect with social services support.

Why pay when you can file for free at a trusted and trained VITA or TCE tax preparer? I've personally received help from the IRS and I was a trained VITA tax preparer many years ago. It's an excellent cost-saving resource.
According to the IRS.gov website, The IRS's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs offer free basic tax return preparation to qualified individuals.
The VITA program has operated for over 50 years. VITA sites offer free tax help to people who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns, including:
People who generally make $60,000 or less
Persons with disabilities; and
Limited English-speaking taxpayers
In addition to VITA, the TCE program offers free tax help, particularly for those who are 60 years of age and older, specializing in questions about pensions and retirement-related issues unique to seniors.
