About PLAN
Our mission is to make Northern Virginia a place where every child is loved, every woman is cared for, and every family is thriving. We do this by fostering collaboration among life-affirming organizations to maximize awareness of and access to our services and additional public assistance programs.
Our Objectives
Objective 1
Engage with Life-Affirming Organizations
Fully educate supporters on opportunities to engage with life-affirming organizations in their community. Those opportunities include involvement as donors, volunteers, and (when applicable) clients/patients.
Objective 2
Help Women and Families Find Resources
Help women and families find resources and social services that help their health and relationships flourish. There is a special focus on women with unplanned pregnancies.
Objective 3
Build Public Awareness of Life-Affirming Options
Build public awareness that comprehensive life-affirming options exist for women in unplanned pregnancies, and show that we care about not just the child, but all the needs of the woman, family, and community.
