Did you know that federal tax credits for families have been expanded and are now more valuable than ever? We're not talking about a few dollars more for families, we're talking about potentially thousands of dollars.

But unfortunately, millions of families don’t even know to ask for the credits they are eligible for.

That’s why your help is needed to spread the word. And to give you the information and tools you need, we are offering two free webinar trainings. In these free trainings, you'll learn about family tax credits and get access to free easy to use resources.

Register today for these important training webinars:

Part I — Tax Credits: What Working Families Need to Know
Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern (1 hour)

Get the facts about how tax credits can give working families a leg up, and learn how to help spread the word.

Part II - Tax Credits Outreach: Tips and Tools for Service Providers and Advocates
Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern (1 hour)

You can make a big difference for families by making sure families get the information they need.  Learn about simple outreach activities that can make a major impact, often building on other networks and campaigns that can make a big difference for working families. This webinar will help you:

• Get free outreach materials;
• Connect with local materials;
• Find free tax preparation services in your community; and
• Learn some successful techniques for spreading the word about tax credits.

Register today! These online sessions are free to participants, but registration is required.

Although we recommend that you register for both sessions so you can get the most out of the series, if you have time constraints, you can sign up separately for either the Nov. 10 webinar. 

These webinars are part of the National Women's Law Center's Citi Education Series on Family Economic Security and the Tax Credits Outreach Campaign.
