POLS 310 Community Learning Course

In addition to serving as a resource for the community, the clinic is an important component of the “Tax Policy and Inequality in Hartford” Community Learning course for Trinity students. Enrolled students are trained as IRS-certified tax preparers through the course and help staff the clinic.
