Needle Exchange Volunteer
Various locations

Our Syringe Access Services exchanges 2.4 million sterile syringes per year and is one of the largest syringe exchange programs in the United States. Our volunteers help us to staff eleven different needle exchange sites through out San Francisco’s neighborhoods.

As reliable and consistent members of our team, needle exchange volunteers are trained to provide non-judgmental, community-based harm reduction services in a safe space and respectful manner in order to reduce the risk of HIV & Hepatitis C and other harms related to injection drug-use. Volunteers are usually scheduled weekly or every other week in 2 hour and 20 minute shifts. This program requires that all volunteers make a six-month time commitment, have flexible weekends and evenings schedules and are comfortable working outside.

For more information about this role, you can review the Syringe Access pages on this site, or contact Mimi Cove, Volunteer Coordinator for SAS, at mcove@sfaf.org or call 415-241-5113.
