Policy & Advocacy

In pursuit of our mission to eliminate adolescent pregnancy in Georgia, G-CAPP promotes statewide public policy initiatives that support healthy children, youth and families. We work to broaden the traditional adolescent pregnancy prevention agenda by addressing the fundamental issues that underlie adolescent pregnancy and by building local and statewide capacity to promote the healthy development of our most vulnerable adolescents.

For ten years, G-CAPP has been a catalyst for change, working in tandem with other statewide organizations to influence and inform policy decisions and legislation affecting vulnerable youth and disenfranchised families in Georgia. G-CAPP:

  • Convenes youth advocates and service providers to share information and coordinate policy efforts through the Adolescent Services Network (ASN) and the G-CAPP Annual Conference.


  • Ensures that issues involving adolescents and their well-being stay at the forefront of the state legislative session through our Advocacy Day.


  • Analyzes and conducts research to make policy recommendations that are shaped by the most current information available.
