Play a V.I.T.A.(L) role at tax time. Volunteer!

Our volunteer tax return preparers become IRS-certified and prepare and e-file federal, state and city returns for Genesee County taxpayers with low-to-moderate incomes.

Our quality reviewers work with taxpayers, checking each and every return. This helps to ensure that all entries agree with the documents and other information provided by the taxpayers, that all calculations are correct, and that taxpayers receive the full benefit of the tax law and any deductions and credits to which they are entitled.

Some volunteers prefer not to prepare or review returns but enjoy their role as greeters, providing taxpayers with intake documents and making them feel welcome at the VITA sites.

Interested in opening a new tax site? A site coordinator manages both the volunteers and the site, prepares more difficult returns and answers any questions that may arise.

Training will be provided for all of these volunteer positions.

UAW/United Way Ramp program is in need of volunteers to help build ramps in Genesee County. The program provides assistance to disabled citizens in the community through the construction of residential wheelchair ramps. 

In partnership with the UAW, United Way is working to improve the lives of disabled residents by offering them access to the community through building wheelchair ramps. Since the mid-1980s, UAW/GM volunteers and United Way respond to requests from disabled and elderly citizens who need wheelchair accessibility for their home. Because of the skill and generosity of dedicated volunteers, the Ramp Program volunteers make it possible for relatives, friends and neighbors to go to doctor appointments, church, run errands, visit friends and relatives, and have an active lifestyle.
