November, a time for reflection and gratitude, encourages us to acknowledge our achievements while weaving a tapestry of thankfulness for relationships, experiences, and opportunities. We are grateful for all you’ve made possible for women and youth through your support of Healthy Futures of Texas. This includes: 

• Impacting the lives of 12,000 Texas youth through both direct education and engagement efforts;

• Enhancing the capacity of health centers to be youth friendly and improve the quality of care to individuals ages 10-24. Our latest network of providers includes clinics in Houston, Dallas and El Paso;

• Teaching young people to become leaders of change in their communities, through education, civic engagement and Youth Advocacy Day at the Capitol;

• and so much more.

Texas teenagers give birth at a rate that is 50% higher than the national average. In 2022, for the first time in 15 years, the Texas teen birth rate actually increased. Yet our state’s charged political landscape remains challenging for the delivery of medically accurate and culturally relevant sex ed instruction.

We are committed to addressing those challenges.

Your year-end gift will help ensure we can do so. Please donate today.
