Women's Crisis Support Team & Talsunne Safe House
Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change lives, including your own. Volunteers are a big part of our services that we provide at WCST. Any volunteer that would like to work directly with clients or client records are required to attend a thirty-hour training that WCST provides as well as a criminal background check. For our current Volunteer application click here.
