Call for Volunteer Tax Preparers & Greeters!

>> Friday, December 10, 2010

Help low income community members by preparing income tax returns as part of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA).

Volunteers will attend a 28 hour training program during fall 2010 and need to pass a basic tax preparer certification test. Tax preparers are needed Wednesday evenings and/or Saturday mornings beginning in mid January 2011 through mid April 2011. If you are organized, detail oriented and interested in working with a diverse clientele, this is the volunteer opportunity for you! We are also seeking bi-lingual Spanish/English speaking greeters for the same timeframe. For more information please contact Dale Halburian (or via phone at 784-8647.)
