ABOUT US
ICAH was founded in 1977 as the Illinois Caucus on Teenage Pregnancy. As the organization grew, so did its mission, and by 2000, the organization had collected an extensive range of accomplishments in the fields of child welfare, adolescent workforce development and welfare reform, in addition to its work on adolescent health. Today, ICAH has focused once again on what the board of directors, staff, members, and young leaders see as the organization’s primary mission: in partnership with youth, advocating sound policies and practices that promote a positive approach to adoescent sexual health and parenting. ICAH’s strategies to support this mission include development of young leaders, policy analysis and development, advocacy, and training of both youth and adults.
