About Us

SGR Hotline is the former switchboard of San Francisco Sex Information (SFSI). In 2019, we decided that in order to allow quality sex educator training and quality sex information services to continue, we would separate those departments into two organizations. SFSI focuses on training sex educators, and SGR focuses on providing sex information to individuals with questions.

What is SFSI?

San Francisco Sex Information is a sex information organization that started in 1972. The goal was to create an outlet to provide non-judgmental, fact-based information in a time when talking about sex and receiving non-judgmental information about sex was incredibly important and hard to come by. Over the years, SFSI grew into an organization with many passions, all related to continuing to provide sex information and support sex educators in developing their skills. Now, SFSI focuses on providing comprehensive sex educator training to individuals who can use that information to support their communities and clients.

Volunteers

SGR is an all-volunteer non-profit, and we're always looking to welcome new volunteers to staff our hotline, or support us in other ways. You do not need to work on our hotline to volunteer. Email us at volunteer@sgrhotline.org to apply.

To volunteer on the hotline, we request that you have completed a program of sex education. These programs can include SFSI, AASECT certification, M.A. in Human Sexuality programs, Sexology programs, or any other comprehensive sex education training. If you have questions about whether your training or experience is a good fit, drop us a line at volunteer@sgrhotline.org.

SGR strives to create a welcoming environment. Our policy is to provide equal opportunity and access to all people inclusive of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national original, socioeconomic status, age, or disability. We continually seek to build and maintain a community that reflects the rich diversity of our world.
