Planned Parenthood Nl Sexual Health Centre

What Planned Parenthood Nl Sexual Health Centre does

Planned Parenthood NL Sexual Health Centre (PPNLSHC) is a Canadian non-profit charitable organization founded in 1978 and headquartered at 47 St. Clare Ave, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. The organization delivers sexual and reproductive health services to the general population of Newfoundland and Labrador, with a specific programmatic focus on 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. Its core offerings include appointment-based sexual health clinics, walk-in pregnancy tests and peer support, a 2SLGBTQIA+ Warm Line (toll-free 1-877 NO-MYTHS), teen healthy-relationships workshops, the Camp Eclipse queer youth leadership camp, a lending library, the Queering the Compass provider training program, and a Reproductive Justice Project advocacy initiative.

Operationally, PPNLSHC runs on a lean staff of approximately 8 paid employees plus a 7-person volunteer Board of Directors, with additional service delivery supported by volunteers. The technology footprint is minimal: a Weebly-hosted website, Donorbox for online donations, and Mailchimp for newsletter distribution; there is no proprietary software, mobile application, or API-based platform. Revenue is generated through a diversified non-profit mix of individual donations, membership dues, branded merchandise sales, fundraising events such as Dungeons & DragThings, and in-kind volunteer contributions. The organization is governed by its Board (President Erin Burke, Vice President Meghan Fillier, Secretary Erin Matthews, Treasurer Audrey Flynn, and four Directors at Large) and led by Executive Director Nikki Baldwin.

Strategically, PPNLSHC has expanded its scope in recent years through partnerships with the Community-Based Research Centre (CBRC) on the Queering the Compass project, with SARAVYC at the University of British Columbia on education research, and with Indigenous governments, YWCA St. John's, and First Light NL to extend culturally appropriate services to Indigenous communities and newcomers. The organization maintains a regional footprint within Newfoundland and Labrador with no indication of operations outside the province.
