Join our volunteer team at Safe Point

Save to Favorites

In February of 2016, Equitas Health partnered with Columbus Public Health to launch Columbus’s first syringe access program, Safe Point. Safe Point is a harm-reduction program where participants are given access to safer injection materials and education, HIV/STI testing, and drug treatment enrollment.

Since we started this program, we have seen a tremendous response from the community and what a need there is for programs like ours. We have saved lives by dispensing naloxone, referred nearly one-third of our participants to some form of alcohol or drug treatment, and improved quality of life, sense of self-worth, and access to quality healthcare for those that have walked through our doors.

We invite your group to join us as we serve a community that is all too often mistreated, demonized, or forgotten. We are looking for compassionate volunteers looking to make a lasting change in the health and well-being of our communities. Volunteers can engage in a number of ways, from helping us prepare our inventory for program days as a Kit Builder to educating clients about our program offerings as an Intervention Specialist.
