What is the minimum number of volunteer hours that must be recorded to earn CE credits?

To earn Continuing Education (CE) credits, volunteers must record a minimum of 10 hours of service. This requirement ensures that volunteers engage in a significant enough level of activity to enhance their skills and knowledge, which is essential for effective participation in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs. Recording 10 hours helps to guarantee that volunteers are adequately trained and experienced to provide quality assistance to those seeking tax help. This focus on a minimum hour requirement reflects the commitment to professional development within the volunteer role, enhancing the overall efficacy of the program.
