About this Event
United Way of Central Ohio is calling on you to join us to train to become a Tax Time volunteer through Tax Time's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) training! Volunteer positions are both virtual and in-person and include Tax Preparer, Intake Specialist, Quality Reviewers, Site Coordinators, and Special Events Assistant.
Tax Time’s volunteers are reliable resources, bringing financial stability to our community members every year. Help protect your neighbor from predatory financial services by volunteering as a tax preparer or greeter this tax season at one of Tax Time's over 20 VITA sites in Franklin County.
INTIMIDATED BY TAXES? Don't be!
In this training, we will equip you with the tools you need to certify to serve in your chosen roles.
* **Volunteers need to bring a personal laptop to the training. United Way Laptops will be provided to volunteers once they are certified and assigned with a site for the season. If this is an obstacle for you, please let Brandi know via email ([email protected]).
