Who is responsible for reviewing volunteer registry status?

The responsibility for reviewing volunteer registry status falls primarily on the Relationship Manager. The Relationship Manager plays a vital role in overseeing the volunteer program's health and effectiveness, ensuring that all volunteers are properly registered and maintaining the necessary credentials and qualifications. This includes monitoring the status of volunteers within the registry and ensuring compliance with IRS guidelines.

While the Site Coordinator and Tax Preparer have important roles in the operation of the VITA/TCE sites, their responsibilities are generally more focused on the day-to-day management of tax preparation services and volunteer activities on-site rather than the broader oversight of registry status. Similarly, a SPEC Partner, who may be involved in supporting or facilitating the VITA/TCE programs, does not typically handle the direct review of individual volunteer registry statuses but may assist in related aspects of volunteer management. Thus, the Relationship Manager is specifically tasked with this oversight role within the program.
