Mission & Focus Areas

Honestly’s stated mission is to build a movement to improve sexual health outcomes for youth through coordinated action and strategic alignment among its Collaboration partners. Its focus includes advancing evidence-based, comprehensive, medically accurate, age-appropriate education and resources, addressing systemic barriers, and promoting health equity.

In 2024, the organization reported partnering with more than 40 organizations, leading 11 trainings for over 170 participants, and hosting quarterly partner convenings. Its Project Equip training series provided skills-based learning for professionals. It also reported community outreach reaching more than 1,000 people and facilitating youth-professional discussions, including with young people involved in foster care.

The 2023 grants listed include organizations with varied missions. For example, the Down Syndrome Association of Central described its work as providing educational materials, scholarships for national conferences, and contributions to programs promoting awareness for families of children with Down syndrome. The Latino Community Development Agency described its mission as improving the quality of life of the Latino community through leadership, services, advocacy, and education. Pivot described providing counseling, services for homeless youth, educational and vocational services, prevention and intervention services, and support for young people’s overall well-being.
