The Population and Reproductive Health program is committed to promoting reproductive health and rights, with a focus on high quality information and services. We place a special emphasis on engaging and serving youth, and believe that young people have the best potential for building and sustaining a movement of change.

We aim to:
- Improve the quality of comprehensive sexuality education, voluntary contraception, and abortion care.
- Strengthen service delivery, build leadership and advocacy capacity, and shift social and cultural norms to allow women and youth to make their own reproductive health care decisions.
- Forge partnerships with global research advocacy organizations, especially networks led by youth, and to create positive and effective messages about reproductive health and rights at the regional and global levels.
We support national advocacy, litigation, and innovative strategies not only to defend reproductive rights, but to create new strategies and policies.
We support efforts in various states that:- Expand comprehensive sexuality education and sexual and reproductive health services for youth
- Support youth-lead advocacy, funding new programs and evaluating their effectiveness
- Improve the quality and reach of voluntary contraception services
- Ensure that women receive quality abortion care by supporting advocacy in targeted states and addressing the clinic and provider shortage
