  • Give back to your community

  • Become IRS Certified through free training

All volunteers will go through comprehensive training to become IRS-certified to prepare taxes, receive guidance and support from expert staff, and create a schedule that works for them at a nearby VITA site. No age requirement or prior experience necessary.


Create lasting change in San Diego County by becoming a VITA volunteer today!

 United We Can 

What We Do...

United Way of San Diego CountyOur success is measured by the lives we transform: the children who succeed, the families that thrive, the partners that align with us, leveraging resources and expertise to transform the lives of children, young adults, and families in our community and move them forward into a brighter future.

These stories are our commitment to the San Diego County and the challenges we face together: an intern watches a second-grader transform from missing school to setting an attendance record. A volunteer tax-preparer sees a struggling family transform from fearing tax day to looking forward to their EITC refund. A high school student transforms from a teenager with no aspirations into a young person with a future pipelined to a prospering local tech industry.

Change starts small, but UWSD’s goals are big and hopeful: from transforming hundreds of lives to hundreds of thousands of lives in our region.
