LGBTQ+ youth have been historically marginalized in their families, schools, and communities. While South Florida has made great strides in the advancement of LGBT rights, public education has historically lacked a comprehensive LGBT-inclusive curriculum and sexual education. Additionally, the current state of LGBT activism is largely white-led and white-centric.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
STI Clinic Search
PRISM's STI Clinic Search is a network of easily accessible, affordable health centers that offer STI testing in South Florida. For every clinic in our system, PRISM provides the location, contact information, types of tests offered, pricing, and operating hours. For many clinics, PRISM also gives further information on wait times, parking, other services offered, and more!
Content Creation Task Force
PRISM's Content Creation Task Force (CCTF) is the primary driver of our educational content. This program creates thoroughly researched and culturally conscious web, social media, and print content in a way that is approachable and easily understood by youth in South Florida.
Approximately 35,000 individuals view our educational material each month on Instagram alone. These resources significantly impact young people's understanding of these topics in South Florida and their ability to feel empowered in their identities and maintain their sexual health.
We intend to increase the number of youth who not only understand how to maintain their physical and mental health but who also take action to do so by seeking out testing, having deliberate conversations with sexual partners about protection and STI status, and utilizing community resources that they would not be aware of otherwise.
PRISM Student Ambassador Program
The PRISM Student Ambassador Program (P-SAP, for short) allows each public and private high school or university in Palm Beach, Broward, or Miami-Dade County to select one student to represent them as a PRISM Student Ambassador.
As part of P-SAP, students gain the opportunity to actively connect with other LGBTQ+ student leaders through monthly meetings, group activities, and even an exclusive P-SAP listserv! PRISM helps assist in coordinating LGBT-related observances on campus, navigating discussions on hard-hitting topics in club or group meetings, and more!
Policy Task Force
PRISM’s Policy Task Force works to advance innovative laws and policies to ensure that no one suffers discrimination or harassment on the basis of their sexual orientation, race, or gender identity. The Policy Task Force solves challenges at the local, state, and national levels, with an emphasis on fighting for the LGBTQ+ community, especially LGBTQ+ people of color across South Florida.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
