PROVO S.N.A.P. RULES

All Provo SNAP Participants must agree to follow the rules. Once you have read the rules please sign the bottom and return to SNAP leaders. Thank you.

Special Needs Activity Program (S.N.A.P.) is a socialization and activity program exclusively for single individuals with intellectual and developmental special needs (Participants) living within the boundaries of the 18 Stakes of Provo. This program serves the needs of those individuals within the Provo Coordinating Council of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It’s mission is to provide an environment where Participants can grow in gospel understanding, learn skills, develop talents, and have positive social experiences with each other. Activities are planned that will be fun, expand the horizons of participants, and meet Church guidelines and standards. It is a supplemental program and is not intended to replace an individual’s regular home ward programs.

Weekly activities are held every Thursday evening (Except Holiday Weeks and Vacation Month of August)
Time: 7:00 pm until 8:30 pm:
Address: 965 North Locust Lane Chapel, Provo. Participants are dropped off inside the building by their caregivers and picked up there as well. Adult and youth leaders help greet and send off participants in the lobby (“warm hand-off”). Participants should try to be on time to start and families/guardians should be on time to pick participants up after the activity ends at 8:30 PM unless notified otherwise.
