About Us

CSHEL is a collaborative of youth change-makers and their adult allies committed to strengthening access to sexual and reproductive health services, education, and equity across Northeast Ohio through community-building and activism.


We envision a culture that honors people’s inherent reproductive and sexual autonomy, and where sexual freedom is a reality for all Ohioans.



““The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference.””

— Audre Lorde
