All teens should have a bright future within their grasp. Yet teen pregnancy, non-marital sexual activity, and other risky behaviors create obstacles to success, especially for our most vulnerable teens.

The Challenge. The teen birth rate has declined by over 40% in the past decade, yet disparities among vulnerable youth persist. Today, adolescents aged 15-24 account for nearly half of the 20M new cases of STIs each year. That is why in 2019, we dedicated over $144M to grantees in OVER 50 U.S. states & territories to educate, engage, & empower 600K+ youth through evidence-informed programming.
