Tax Clinic Coming Soon: Volunteers Needed

Monday, January 16, 2023

Need help doing your taxes? Interested in helping other people do their taxes? The Community Volunteer Income Tax program (CVITP) has been in existence since 1971 and has a longstanding partnership between the Canada Revenue Agency, community organizations and their volunteers.

The Assiniboine Community College Students’ Association is excited to announce we will be hosting a free in-person tax clinic on March 22 & 29, 2023 from 3:30 – 5:30pm.

The ACCSA is currently recruiting volunteers to help students file their taxes. You don’t need experience doing tax returns in order to volunteer. All volunteers are offered web-based training on how to do taxes, using tax software. We are hoping to find between 10-20 volunteers to help with the tax clinic.

If you are interested in volunteering, please follow the steps below. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the Student Development Coordinator, Alyshia Kelbert, at kelberta@assiniboine.net.
