Tax-Aid's more than 1,000 volunteers come from all types of organizations and professional backgrounds. Tax expertise is always critically needed, but there are also jobs that do not require any technical knowledge. Volunteers are asked to attend a two-hour training session on Tax-Aid's process and to volunteer for at least one session. Most Tax-Aid volunteers donate around eight hours over a few weeks. Tax-Aid volunteers come back again and again—motivated by the gratitude (and often tears) of the families they have helped.

Tax-Aid volunteers include accounting and law students from many local colleges and universities. Many students fulfill graduation requirements for community service through Tax-Aid. Students also enjoy networking with professionals from many Bay Area firms that may be their future employers.

Tax-Aid expects at least 3,500 people to show up at Tax-Aid sessions in 2008. More volunteers are needed.
