Community college students face unique barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health care, yet most campuses offer little to no support. IWPR’s Connect for Success initiative works to change that by expanding access to comprehensive care and resources, including contraception, menstrual products, abortion care, and STI testing, as well as inclusive spaces for LGBTQIA+ students. When students can manage their reproductive health, they are better positioned to stay in school, complete their degrees, and build the futures they deserve.
Connect for Success is a national research and learning initiative that studies and expands sustainable models for delivering sexual and reproductive health care to community college students. We partner with and fund organizations that are already providing this care, particularly to students from underserved backgrounds, to help them grow, strengthen, and share what works.
