This is an awesome story submitted by Jim at Scottsdale Community College
Caitlin enrolled in our Scottsdale Community College (SCC) income tax class where we use VITA materials for part of the course instruction. These students are invited to volunteer in the SCC VITA program, and Caitlin decided to volunteer. She attended the 4-day training prior to tax season as a refresher, and brought her sister, Faith, along. On the second day of training, their other sister Emily tagged along (just waiting for a ride to another event), and she became interested. All became certified and volunteered. Later, during the tax season, Faith’s dad (Dennis, a CPA) stopped by the site to see what we were doing, and he got certified. Faith and Dennis decided to take the tax class the following semester to expand their tax knowledge to partnerships and corporations, and one day during a special study session, Dennis’ wife, Mary attended. She became interested in taxes, and she got certified. Mary now serves the invaluable role as Screener, and all in the family are volunteering this tax season. Thanks to all of them!
Thank you for your Volunteer Service!
