Join us to learn more more! Have a passion to help others? Would you like to learn a new, useful skill? Your community needs volunteers to bring millions of dollars back to Los Angeles.  The Volunteer Income Tax Assistant (VITA) Program helps working families and seniors file a tax return, claim million in tax credits, and connect them to other services to make their refund last all yearlong. 

VITA Intake Orientation Highlights:

• Learn about all the intake volunteer positions (these positions do not require tax preparation)
• Learn how to access your Volunteer Standard of Conducts  – Refreshments & Q/A Session Intake Managers
• Collect required tax documents from clients.
• Create a tax file by making photocopies of the tax documents (i.e. photo ID, social, income forms, etc.).
• Provide general assistance and site management at the center.
• Make phone calls to clients to remind them of their appointment and what to bring.
