Tax-Aid has been helping low income families prepare their tax returns in the San Francisco Bay Area for
25 years. We offer direct services to low income neighborhoods through the volunteer efforts of
accountants, lawyers and other professionals who design, manage and implement the program. Together
we strive to improve and expand our service of providing tax preparation assistance to low-income
families who are eligible to claim available tax credits.

We are seeking volunteers to become Site Manager Trainees. Our teams of volunteer Site Managers are
responsible for running the operations at 27 Bay Area locations. Selected candidates will work directly
with an experienced Site Manager this coming tax season and shadow them at their site. The goal is for
the Site Manager Trainee to practice the organization, interpersonal and leadership skills while
supervised by a Site Manager so that the Trainee can then assume the position of Site Manager the next
tax season.
