What is my "side project"? During my final practicum in my final semester of school, I worked with the organization YouthCO in Vancouver. They receive free safer sex materials to give to the members who access their services. When I found out that the Abbotsford SUS (Student Union Society) gets free condoms to give to students, but Baker House and Chilliwack SUS don't, YouthCO allowed me to take some of their materials and give them to students on campus. Baker House got most of the supplies I used, but Chilliwack SUS got a batch as well.
Now I've gotten permission from both Baker House and YouthCO to continue this in the fall! YouthCO will send me the supplies and I will package them and send them to Baker House. After we get the connection established, my goal is to get Baker House connected with the resources so they can access them on their own without needing a third party. This would hopefully allow for a continuous supply of resources for future students.

The other piece of happy news I have is that I plan to apply for an online internship with the CSPH (Centre for Sexual Health and Pleasure) in RI. They are the awesome organization who published my personal lubricant information on their website. I have my fingers crossed that I will be accepted, because it would be an awesome experience and I'd love to be able to add it to my resume.
