Voluntary Action Support Team
The “Voluntary Action Support Team” (VAST) Program offers a platform for service users and community members to actively engage with the organisation, gain valuable skills, and contribute to its mission while recognising and rewarding their efforts through the “Rainbow Awards” program. This initiative fosters a sense of ownership, empowerment, and community within the LGBT+ network.
What to expect:-
- Our Volunteer Coordinator will acknowledge your application within 14 days
