Our Story

Based in Alexandria, Virginia, Service Never Sleeps (SNS) was founded in 2015 with a mission to address key social issues by connecting justice-minded individuals with meaningful opportunities to learn and serve. Through our Allyship curriculum, we help people leverage privilege to advance racial justice as a lifestyle.
