Overview
Although the teen birth rate in California has dropped dramatically in recent years, Latino teens are still four times more likely to give birth than white teenagers. Recommended funds would enable the Latino Community Foundation to provide funds to seven to ten Latino-led community organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area to replicate effective teen pregnancy prevention programs. The Community Foundation also would provide technical assistance to build the capacity of these direct services organizations and to share information on models that are effective in reducing teen pregnancy among Latinas. During the prior grant period, the Community Foundation provided support that enabled nine organizations to reach an additional 7,880 teens with effective interventions to prevent pregnancy.
