To provide educational and social activities, lectures, demonstration, workshops, conferences, meetings, and written and electronic education materials to the public
What it reported doing in 2025
QUICK hosts play parties regularly. These parties have kink/fetish themes that assist members to feel the freedom to express themselves and to learn about new and different forms of kink through demonstrations and educational discussions while in attendance. Members utilize the play space to conduct educational demonstrations as well as to freely play and express themselves through gear and forms of kink play. members pay a small fee to assist with covering the cost of renting out the play space, and in doing so are given free use of tools and space provided. In order to attend play parties, members are required to go through and orientation which includes content related to safe kink practices. Members who complete the orientation are welcome to play at their leisure, connect socially with other members, and discuss educational merits of the kinks and fetishes of their choice. Members educate one another on numerous different kink experiences and help one another grow socially in a safe, queer, kink-affirming space
