Westminster Canterbury has welcomed volunteers from the Richmond community for over 30 years. Teens, college students, men and women have helped us enhance services to residents and to enrich the quality of life at WCR. Our volunteers provide a supportive service for the staff, help to meet the social, emotional and psychological needs of the residents, and promote good public relations for WCR in the community.
