Organizations Filed Purposes: We are building a movement to improve sexual health outcomes for youth

Thrive: Sexual Health Collective for Youth leads a public-private Teen Pregnancy Prevention Collaboration with a common agenda of reducing teen pregnancy in central Oklahoma. During the first half of this fiscal year, Thrive finalized a year-long strategic planning process to develop a new comprehensive plan for our community. The plan, Momentum Matters, was launched in October 2019, with a bold goal of a 25% further reduction in the teen birth rate by 2025. Thrive has been working since then to lay the foundation for the strategies in Momentum Matters and to begin to mobilize our network to implement them. The plan provided a compass for our Collaboration and Thrive has eagerly used it as a tool to organize and advance its role and work as a backbone organization. To this end, as a result of the plan's recommendations, we reorganized the Collaboration structure and formed two new leadership groups, the Advisory Council and the Systems Leaders groups. Additionally, we implemented a Change Agent Inventory to identify individuals and organizations interested in engaging as partners and learn where and how they would like to engage. To date, more than 80 individuals and 33 organizations are actively engaged in our network. We also mobilized three action teams to work on implementing three priority strategies: building a robust referral network, engaging priority populations, and centering youth voice and action in all we do. Further focusing on our mission to build a movement to improve sexual health outcomes for youth, we have implemented a number of training and capacity building opportunities for our partners this past year, ranging from sexual health 101, to trauma-informed care, positive youth development, health equity, systems-thinking, and human- centered design. We know that training and equipping our nonprofit and governmental partners is part of sustainably changing the culture around sexual health and healthy relationships. Finally, our efforts this year have focused on equity and authentic community engagement. We know that in order to continue the momentum we have gained with reducing the teen birth rate, we will need to focus on priority populations that were identified based on disparities found in our Oklahoma county data. Our approach is system-level and human-centered, putting those with lived experience in the center of our work.
