Volunteers Needed for Needle Exchange Program

Interested in volunteering?

HPP is a volunteer-driven program that relies on volunteers to staff our needle exchange sites. Volunteering at the sites is a direct way to affect exchangers' lives in a positive way. The philosophy of harm reduction and non-judgment are essential when interacting with exchangers.

There are several ways to volunteer:

1. Site team member -- working a regular 2-hour site every week or every other week,
2. Floater -- working more than one site, filling in when needed and arranging their schedule with the volunteer coordinator  
3. On Call -- working at one or more sites when there is a need for a last minute fill-in.

At the present time, new volunteers usually work as floaters/on-call until a spot on a team opens up.

HPP requests a 6 month minimum service. If you are interested, please contact hpp@sfaf.org.

Volunteers are also needed to help bag syringes for the sites. This is done in the office at a time convenient for the volunteer and supervising staff. If interested, please please contact hpp@sfaf.org.
