"I can make a difference.

I can change the world."

About ICAH

VISION

We envision a world in which all young adults in Illinois use their power to achieve health and well-being in their own lives and for their communities.

MISSION

In partnership with youth, we advocate sound policies and practices that promote a positive approach to adolescent sexual health and parenting.

We believe reproductive justice is an integral part of a broader human rights framework. Our reproductive justice work must align with other social justice movements to address the multilayered impact of oppression on at-risk youth. In all our projects, we focus on serving marginalized adolescent groups, including low-income, immigrant, homeless, LGBTQI, and pregnant and parenting youth.

We believe reproductive freedom for adolescents must encompass the choice to prevent pregnancy and disease with sexual health care information and services; to terminate a pregnancy through safe, accessible, legal abortion; and to bring a pregnancy to term and parent.
