What is SNAP?
SNAP is the San Francisco Newcomers' Assistance Program.
SNAP is for gay, bi and trans men who are new to San Francisco. If you've been here a couple days or a few years, the City is full of opportunities to learn about HIV prevention and grow. We want to make sure that men who have sex with men who are newcomers feel welcomed, challenged, and aware of the many invaluable resources available in the City.
What does SNAP offer?
Our "Buddy Program"
The chance to meet new people and men who've lived in the city for a while. Buddies hang out and get to know each other while attending movies, ballgames, galleries, musical events, plays, SNAP social events, and any number of other happenings in the city. Why Buddy up? Well, we've learned that gay and bi men who feel connected to their neighbors and community also take really good care of themselves and their loved ones. We're pairing up new Buddies for our Buddy Program! Contact Anthony at (415) 865-5612
Referrals and Individual Counseling
Have questions about the city? Want to check in with someone about the guys you're meeting? The partying you're doing (or not?) Want to learn safer sex techniques, skills building to teach you how to negotiate safer sex? We have staff trained in harm reduction that will listen to you, get you hooked up with helpful resources in town, and get you on track to a fruitful life to thrive and survive in San Francisco.
Workshops and Forums and Groups
SNAP covers topics that are important to the wide diversity of gay, bi and trans men in the City. From physical health to communication skills, from safe online hookups to seminars about personal credit, we're doing our best to stay on the pulse of the community. But we can't do it alone! We need your assistance in creating interesting, engaging, and provocative community forums and workshops.
SNAP Talk! Is a free weekly group for gay/bi/trans men in their 20s and 30s new to the City to talk about sex, jobs, dating, boyfriends, roommates, drugs, HIV/STDs, staying healthy and all the things that can happen in San Francisco. The group meets Thursdays, 7:00PM-8:30PM at the Center. SNAP Talk! is a collaboration of the Center and UCSF AIDS Health Project REACH Program.
