The sound of curiosity

The First AnnualCuriosity Conference

Are you curious?

What: The First Annual Curiosity Conference seeks

to bring together ‘curious thinkers’ to explore two

central questions that are becoming increasingly

important for today's educators: First, how do we

harness and release the natural curiosity of our

students? Second, how might developing curiosity

help to improve classroom learning?

Each presentation will build toward the primary

focus of our discussion: to develop activities,

ideas, and concepts that can help teachers

explicitly infuse curiosity into their classroom.

Panelists will brainstorm possible curricular tools

and workshop a “curiosity curriculum” currently

being developed by the CfC team.

This document is about the five-year experience of the largest and most experimental project that Provide has ever done — LASI, the Least Access States Initiative.

In 2007, Provide launched a multi-state, multi-year program to build infrastructure and capacity for improved access to abortion in extremely low-access, politically conservative, and low-resource states. This ambitious program was the result of organization-wide strategic planning completed the previous year that committed resources and prior success in states ranging from Maine to Washington to the more difficult task of increasing access where it was needed most, and where resources were fewest. Major components of the initiative included developing stakeholder interest, stakeholder-driven assessment and planning, and implementation of key interventions to improve access.

Over those five years, we built commitment and capacity at individual and institutional levels - including among those that have not previously addressed abortion - in least access states. Overall, this has resulted in

1) a more robust and still growing infrastructure in program states for work on reproductive health and abortion; and

2) gains in abortion access that can be replicated and brought to scale in these and other states, by Provide and other organizations.

We would like to share some stories about the work that we’ve done as well as the lessons we’ve learned in the process. This project was a radical shift for Provide and we learned so much from a willingness to try anything that might work; it is our hope that there are lessons and stories here that may help others doing similar work.

Provide is committed to access to safe abortion for all women in the U.S.

We believe that by being clearly focused on abortion within the context of our broader values we will make a significant contribution to women’s health and autonomy.

To this end, Provide:

Looks for gaps in abortion access that no one else is addressing and seeks to create and support innovative responses to these gaps;Seeks to catalyze changes within health care and reproductive health activism that increase the participation of a wide range of health care providers in providing and connecting women to safe abortion care; and

Works with local partners to achieve locally-driven, locally-relevant goals and connects this work to national organizations also interested in expanding access.
