In August 2024, several grassroots leaders attempted to get the Board of Directors to listen to their concerns about SNAP and its leadership at the top.  Like many other not-for-profit organizations, there are often growing pains that need to be tended to in order to keep the organization moving in the right directions.  SNAP's board refused to listen, refused to meet with us, stonewalled us, gaslighted us, and generally disrespected us.  This has been going on for 13 months to date.  Read the "Timeline and Correspondence" document if you want a clear-cut picture of what has happened.

We are here for a very specific purpose.  We want SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) to be a safe haven for those who have been sexually abused.  Traditionally, SNAP has advicated for those abused by clergy but our message has spread out its welcoming arms to all those who are sexually molested.  We are advocates for those raped and molested. We are advocates for victims of sexual violence and sex trafficking.  

​

SNAP is comprised mostly of those who have been victims of sexual abuse themselves. These brave and generous survivors risk the trauma of remembering their abuse as they help others grow strong and move from survivors to thrivers.  ​
