Thousands of individuals, campuses, and communities have used Love is Louder's programs, events and clubs to address issues such as bullying, body image, discrimination, and depression.[23] Snow was recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in 2015 with a Special Recognition Voice Award for her efforts to bring attention to mental health issues.[24] She was in a relationship with actor Tyler Hoechlin, whom she has known for over a decade, since November 2012 but the couple broke up.[25] Snow lives in Los Angeles in a house she shares with her Pitch Perfect co-star Kelley Jakle.[26]
