2025 Pleasure Fellowship Program – Apply Now

Application Deadline: July 15, 2025

Applications are now open for the prestigious 2025 Pleasure Fellowship Program, a global remote fellowship designed to support emerging leaders and changemakers who are passionate about promoting pleasure-centered approaches to sexual health.

Organized by The Pleasure Project, this unique six-month fellowship (running from November 2025 to April 2026) aims to equip selected fellows with the knowledge, tools, and resources needed to create impactful projects that challenge stigma and elevate conversations around sexuality, health, and well-being.

Whether you are a creative, educator, healthcare worker, activist, or grassroots leader, this opportunity offers the support and funding to bring your vision to life—no matter where you are in the world.

What the Fellowship Offers

The Pleasure Fellowship includes:

• Virtual training sessions (twice a month on Saturdays, 2 hours each)
• Individual mentorship (two one-on-one coaching sessions)
• Community learning through group workshops (6–8 collaborative sessions)
• Project funding of up to $1,500 USD per fellow

Fellows will use their training and mentorship period to refine a project idea submitted in their application. Following the training phase, fellows will have six months to implement their project. These can range from podcasts, blogs, or visual campaigns, to grassroots interviews, research work, or pilot programs tailored to local needs.
