Established in 1980 as the Center for Population Options, Advocates for Youth champions efforts to help young people make informed and responsible decisions about their reproductive and sexual health. Adovcates believes it can best serve the field by boldy advocating for a more positive and realistic approach to adolescent sexual health.

Advocates for Youth envisions a society that views sexuality as normal and healthy and treats young people as a valuable resource.

The Center for Adolescent Health & the Law is a unique national legal and policy organization that works exclusively to promote the health of adolescents and their access to comprehensive health care. The Center addresses a broad range of complex legal and policy issues that affect access to health care for the most vulnerable youth in the United States. The Center conducts research, analyzes laws and policies, develops and disseminates publications, provides consultation, and training to health professionals, policy makers, researchers and advocates who are working to protect the health of our adolescents.

The social and health care concerns addressed by The Free Clinic are based on the belief that "Access to health care is a right, not a privilege". The Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland is the second oldest free clinic in the United States and the largest in Ohio. Established as a hotline in 1970 by a group of people concerned about the health and welfare of young adults, it quickly shifted to a clinic serving the health needs of the community and to an advocate for policy changes that make health care available to all. Innovative, quality care is provided, free of charge to those who lack appropriate alternatives, in a personal, non-judgmental approach in an informal, non-traditional setting.

Since its founding, The Free Clinic has grown from a small clinic based in a rented house to one occupying a new 34,000 square foot building with 56 employees and over 350 active volunteers. The facility, located in University Circle, is equipped with 18 exam rooms, 5 dental chairs, 3 group therapy rooms, a modern laboratory, and an expanded pharmacy. The Free Clinic also houses a Community Education Center that is used to educate patients about both health and wellness topics.

Four decades after its creation, the Institute continues to advance sexual and reproductive health in the United States and worldwide through an interrelated program of social science research, policy analysis and public education designed to generate new ideas, encourage enlightened public debate, promote sound policy and program development and, ultimately, inform individual decision making.

The Institute produces a wide range of resources on topics pertaining to sexual and reproductive health, including International Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, The Guttmacher Policy Review and Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health.

The National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA) represents the broad spectrum of family planning administrators and clinicians serving the nation’s low-income and uninsured. NFPRHA serves its members by providing advocacy, education and training to those in the family planning and reproductive health care fields.

For 40 years, NFPRHA members have shared a commitment to providing high-quality, federally funded family planning care – making them a critical component of the nation’s public health safety net. Every day NFPRHA members help people act responsibly, stay healthy and plan for strong families.

Pathfinder International places reproductive health services at the center of all that we do—believing that health care is not only a fundamental human right but is critical for expanding opportunities for women, families, communities, and nations, while paving the way for transformations in environmental stewardship, decreases in population pressures, and innovations in poverty reduction.

Planned Parenthood of Northeast Ohio (PPNEO) wants all people to have access to the facts about their bodies and their health so they have the means to decide freely about whether and when to have children.
