We are always accepting new volunteers!
Volunteers are a driving force in the mission of the GR Red Project to improve health, reduce risk, and prevent accidental drug overdose, HIV, and Hepatitis C. Volunteers are encouraged to learn more and engage in honest conversation about these issues in order to help build a stronger community.
Clean Works Harm Reduction Program
What is Clean Works?
Clean Works is Red Project’s comprehensive harm reduction program. Since August 2000, Clean Works has sought to work with people who are currently using drugs by providing syringe access and other services in the City of Grand Rapids. This highly successful program has resulted in drastic reductions in the spread of HIV among people who use drugs, as well as their families and friends. Clean Works provides Hepatitis C testing and education along with accidental drug overdose prevention training and materials.
What will my role be as a volunteer?
Clean Works volunteers provide a welcoming environment to our community, and they are the foundation of our service delivery. Our Clean Works volunteers provide individuals with syringes, condoms, safer shot and safer sex supplies, and document the supply appropriately. Clean Works volunteers are also trained to introduce new clients to the program and perform life-saving training with naloxone rescue kits. As a volunteer, your knowledge of harm reduction – in drug use, as well as sex – will greatly increase.
