New York State Council on Adolescent Pregnancy

The New York State Council on Adolescent Pregnancy, Inc. (NYSCAP) was incorporated in 1985, and has provided leadership in teen pregnancy prevention since its inception.

The mission of NYSCAP is to promote healthy adolescent development and well-being, reduce the incidence of adolescent pregnancy and increase the capacity of pregnant and/or parenting youth to become productive members of society. We do this through public awareness, education, promotion of research and supporting of the efforts of individuals and organizations working on behalf of youth.

The vision is that all students (preK-12) receive quality CSE in order to make safe and healthy decisions about their lives, bodies, relationships and well-being.
