Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)

Happy New VITA Season All!

Want to help provide thousands of dollars to your neighbors in need? Sign-up NOW to become a volunteer with VITA for the 2011 Tax Season! The Atlanta Prosperity Campaign, an initiative of the Atlanta Community Food Bank, is recruiting volunteers now to participate in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program for upcoming tax season. Volunteers helped prepare over 12,500 tax returns with $18+ million in refunds during 2010 Tax Season, but with your help we could do much more to serve Metro-Atlanta low-to-moderate income working families.

We have volunteer opportunities at more than 45 VITA sites in 11 metro counties to suit any personality type, interest and background. Intake Administrators, Interpreters, Quality Reviewers and Tax Preparers needed. No prior financial experience necessary, but required training will be offered for all volunteer positions except interpreters. We are working with the GA Bar association to ensure that licensed attorneys receive pro-bono credit for volunteering. Additionally, for those seeking CPE credits, we will have letters available on-site at the conclusion of each training session for volunteers to provide to their respective governing agencies.

For specific information on volunteer positions, requirements and training please click (or copy and paste into browser) on the links below. Additionally I have included our Volunteer Recruiting Flyer for you to share with other who may be interested in volunteering.(After clicking/visiting the links below, please click the green volunteer button to sign-up. The green sign-up button will not direct volunteers to our registration webpage. Returning volunteers can utilize their log-ins from 2010).
