Central Valley Community Foundation

Despite California’s tremendous recent success in reducing teen pregnancies, the Central Valley still has some of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the nation. The Central Valley Regional Foundation has become the leader in building a sector of teen pregnancy prevention programs in the Central Valley. With support from the Hewlett Foundation, it has succeeded not only in increasing the number teens who are now exposed to these programs but also increasing the Regional Foundation’s broader commitment to teen pregnancy prevention. This grant will enable it to continue building on strong local momentum to support teen pregnancy prevention programs and other efforts to reduce teen pregnancy.
