How to Apply

Before serving as a SNAP volunteer, all potential volunteers must complete:

Do I need any special skills?

Many opportunities require only a desire to help others, but some volunteer positions require specialized training or experience to be successful. 

Will I have to pass a background check?

YES. All volunteers at SNAP are required to submit a background screening form. The purpose of this background check is to protect the low-income and vulnerable people the agency serves.

The hours will vary depending on the project and your availability. SNAP volunteers serve between 2 to 30 hours per week.
