WHY COMMUNITY ACTION?
At Viable Options, we believe that the best tangible support for individuals is found in communities.
Meaningful relationships bring clarity and hope that no agency can offer. When women and their partners are holistically embraced by their core communities, the most complex and personal needs can be alleviated in a powerful way.
FOR UNIVERSITIES
WHY UNIVERSITIES?
College students represent some of the most likely to face a pregnancy decision or to be the friend or peer of someone who is processing an unintended pregnancy. Not only that, universities are a hub for shaping culture and starting important conversations.
We are committed to engaging in these vital spheres both to offer advocacy and support to students who need it and to equip the next generation with a powerful approach to pregnancy care.
