Overview

Mission

The mission of SHIP is to advance culturally inclusive, medically accurate, and pleasure informed sexuality education, therapy, and professional training to adults. We envision a world where pleasure is viewed as an integral part of health and where adults can talk about sexuality while feeling comfortable and supported. We believe everyone deserves equitable care and sex education.

What it reported doing in 2023

. During the reporting period, SHIP successfully delivered a wide range of community-centered educational and support initiatives aimed at enhancing sexual health awareness and relationship development. SHIP hosted approximately 30 workshops covering critical and inclusive topics such as asexuality, mindfulness, pleasure, LGBTQIA+ health, and Black health. These workshops were designed to provide accurate, affirming, and accessible sex education to diverse populations.In collaboration with community partners, SHIP organized two sex trivia events and four brunch trivia sessions. These interactive events served as engaging platforms for both education and community connection. SHIP also supported the professional development of future sexual health professionals by hosting three interns and coordinating two meet-ups specifically for sexuality educators, fostering continued learning and peer support.To further promote relationship development, SHIP facilitated a polyamory support group in Fall 2023 for eight participants, offering a safe and supportive environment to explore non-monogamous relationship dynamics. All programming was designed to support professional, personal, and relationship development. SHIP's dedicated volunteers played a key role in fundraising efforts, allowing these programs to be offered on a sliding scale and ensuring accessibility regardless of financial status.
