Volunteer responsibilities will include greeting and screening to tax preparation. Volunteers should be available on a weekly basis during tax season, and volunteer registration is available at www.unitedwayvolunteer.org. Volunteers must pass a certification test in order to be a VITA volunteer. Trainings are tentatively scheduled for January 14 and 15, 2014 to help potential volunteers prepare for the certification test. These trainings are not mandatory but are beneficial to those taking the test.
