We need community donations to sustain and grow these programs as they pave the way for what peer-led emotional support and care can look like.

We’re building leadership and governance capacity at SQSH! We are so excited to welcome our 2026 Board members, who were elected by our members in November 2025, and started undergoing an orientation in January 2026 to learn more about SQSH’s history, strategy, and people. This month, our Board is diving into the work by hosting officer elections and forming Governance and Fundraising committees. This is an exciting step in having Board members steward the organization’s big picture while starting to organize among themselves 🌟

What hopes do you have for our Board members this year? Drop an encouragement for them in the comments ⬇️
