To become a volunteer, applicants must...
Failure to do any of these things will unfortunately prohibit you from becoming a WCST volunteer. Our volunteer application is very thorough in order to ensure the safety of our clients and staff. We have several different areas where we need volunteers--at the moment, our foremost need is volunteers to answer our 24-hour crisis line. Of course, on your application you can indicate any area you would like to work and we will try to accommodate you.
We also are proud to take on RCC practicum students and counseling interns! Please contact us if you are looking to complete requirements for your degree or other community service (call 541-476-3877 to set up an appointment).
