Become an Asset Building Volunteer!
The Opportunity:
As an Asset Building Volunteer at a DotWell VITA tax site, you will have direct impact on improving both the immediate and long-term economic health of low to middle income individuals in Dorchester.
With the support of committed volunteers, our tax sites assist thousands of community members between January and April each year by preparing taxes for free and providing connections to other asset building opportunities. For ten years, our volunteers have told that that they volunteer at our site to:
- Help low-income tax filers avoid predatory tax preparers
- Gain satisfaction from helping people who otherwise are unable to get the tax breaks, such as the EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) as well as other credits that are rightfully theirs.
- Experience the satisfaction of seeing the direct monetary impact of one hour of volunteer time for a low to moderate-income worker
- Enjoy the camaraderie of a group of really nice helpful people.
- Bridge communication gap between taxpayer and VITA volunteers if bilingual.
