The Young Advisory Leadership Council
The Young Advisory Leadership Council (YALC) is a group of Black women ages 18 to 45 who actively collaborate to expand RSP’s initiatives. Members of YALC are located nationally and bring a diverse set of skills and knowledge to raise awareness about women’s reproductive rights, as well as the various social conditions that impact reproductive health.
We welcome members to YALC year-round and encourage Black women interested in learning more about RSP’s mission, creating programming and presentations regarding reproductive health and rights, and networking in the women’s health field to connect with us. For more details on how to apply for this volunteer opportunity, please contact info@rsphealth.org.

Front Porch Insights
Written articles by YALC and Partners of RSP
In their efforts to increase awareness around issues of reproductive health and associated burden, YALC created a blog called “Front Porch Insights.” The blog acts as a tool to give voice to their peers as well as a resource for Black women seeking relevant information for their reproductive health and rights. To that end, they aim to have a community of interested readers—whom we hope will engage and contribute their ideas, suggestions, and questions.
