Meet our volunteers
SPW Volunteers expand our capacity by taking on the essential work of assembling harm reduction kits, running deliveries, or counting and organizing inventory. They also draw on their own expertise to support us with things like fundraising, advocating for new policies, doing outreach, and even designing excel tools that make our systems run more efficiently!

Become a volunteer
“I’ve volunteered a lot in my life, and always felt like I had to hide parts of myself in order to “fit in” with other orgs. At SPW, I can bring my full self to every volunteer opportunity and be seen and accepted. It’s also awesome to see the direct impact of my volunteering. I see the stats of how many lives were saved from naloxone kits distributed by SPW, and I know I might have put together a few of those kits. It feels good to know the community is benefitting AND I don’t have to hide anything about myself.”
