Project's focus area: young women's reproductive health and leadership
Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Less than 50% of women 14-19 receive reproductive health services and education. In California, women of color, immigrant women and working class women in particular are hit the hardest. With limited access to reproductive health services, many lack the resources and knowledge needed to feel comfortable with their sexuality and make healthy decision about their sexual activity.

Activities
This program uses cross learning through Women-centered exercises, women run clinic tours and consciousness-raising.
Expected Outcomes
Sessions will have 10 participants, ages 13-19. The newly graduated participants provide positive word-of-mouth to their friends and family, creating a referral network while building leaders trained in reproductive health education.
Project Message
Before this week, I was unsure of my future, but now I know without a doubt, I’ll be a part of women having a CHOICE and speak for our rights. The experience has truly been life changing.
- Marina Grant, Program Participant
