THE FOUNDATION MADE GREAT STRIDES IN DEVELOPING THE CAMPUS ORGANIZING PROGRAM- FOCUS WAS SHIFTED FROM NUMBERS AND CONTACTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNS AS FUTURE LEADERS WITHIN THE PRO-CHOICE MOVEMENT. THROUGH THIS PROGRAMMATIC SHIFT, THE GRASSROOTS ORGANIZER AND STUDENT ORGANIZER WILL BE ABLE TO BETTER EQUIP THE CAMPUS REPRESENTATIVES WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO DEVELOP NOT ONLY GREAT CAMPUS PROGRAMS, BUT ALSO DEVELOP THE REPRESENTATIVES AS LEADERS.

WE AIM TO EMPOWER THE FELLOWS WITH SELF-DIRECTED ENGAGEMENT WITH CHOICE ISSUES THEY FIND TO BE RELEVANT. THROUGH THE INITIAL CHOICE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, THE FOUNDATION HAS EMPOWERED NEW AND EMERGING LEADERS OF THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION TO RETURN TO THEIR COMMUNITY AND CONTINUE THE WORK TOWARDS REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM AND JUSTICE, EXEMPLIFIED BY LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, TRAININGS CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED IN PARTICIPANTS' HOME COMMUNITIES AND THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WORK CONDUCTED BY THE FELLOWS. WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE CHOICE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE AND FELLOWSHIPS, WE HAVE ENGAGED AND DEVELOPED EMERGING LEADERS WHO WILL CONTINUE TO BE ACTIVE IN THE LOCAL AND GLOBAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, RIGHTS AND JUSTICE COMMUNITIES, WORKING TO ENSURE SAFETY AND AUTONOMY FOR OUR REPRODUCTIVE LIVES.
