Our Programs

Our programs invite direct collaboration with stakeholders, youth, caring adults and any person looking to get more involved with the work.

In a collaborative, it is paramount that we understand each member’s contribution to the team and learn what everyone needs in order to be successful. By establishing clear membership guidelines and responsibilities, the Collaborative for Sexual Health Equity and Learning (CSHEL) seeks to clarify expectations and provide accountability to succinctly measure its impact and outputs. CSHEL seeks to be responsive to its members and to provide the support, resources, and community that uplifts the work and the spirit of its membership.
