Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley

Through nurturing and amplifying youth voices, PPPSGV will support positive youth development and create more inclusive spaces for young people. Our focus is on those impacted by the Eaton Fire and those marginalized by the health care and education systems. Our method is a storytelling incubator, where youth can harness the power of personal narratives as a way to advocate for themselves and their communities. Youth will explore applications of storytelling, create boundaries around self-disclosure, and practice with meaningful opportunities.

We're seeking support to revolutionize sexual health care by piloting behavioral health across our growing network of Planned Parenthood health centers and by expanding our patient navigation program, which links patients to a range of medical and social services. Planned Parenthood is a safe space and an essential safety net. We pride ourselves on delivering compassionate, judgment-free care, and this expansion into mental health will be our next step to care for our patients more holistically.

PrEP is the 'miracle' HIV pill, but this revolutionary drug can be costly, difficult to reach, and clouded in myth, especially for Angelenos in northeast LA and the SGV; let's change that for good!
