  2. To advocate for increased access to family planning services for sexually active youth;
  3. To recommend best practices to help young people, particularly those in marginalized groups, to avoid risky behaviors, including those that put them at risk of pregnancy; and
  4. To provide support for pregnant and parenting teens.
