History of Impact

Building a Strong Movement Takes Work

For more than a decade, the Collaboration has made progress on improving adolescent sexual health by listening to community voices, implementing national best practices, and focusing on data trends.

As the Collaboration’s backbone organization, honestly helps build that powerful movement by supporting and facilitating their work.

What We’ve Done

 

In 2015, our community set an ambitious goal to reduce Oklahoma County’s teen birth rate by one-third by 2020. More than 40 organizations, community partners, government agencies, and service providers came together. That goal was not only met—it was exceeded a full year early.

Momentum Matters

After we met our first goal, the Collaboration created a new agenda to continue our mission. Our comprehensive plan, Momentum Matters, charted the path forward with a new goal: to reduce Oklahoma County’s teen birth rate by an additional 25% by 2025.

Spark Innovation OKC

We’re proud participants in SPARK Innovation OKC, a federal grant project funded by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Population Affairs. The project is about innovative, equitable, and sustainable strategies to create a culture of open, honest conversations with youth about sexual health.
