Teen And Young Adult Health Connection

Teen And Young Adult Health Connection (TAYA) is a non profit reproductive healthcare organization whose mission is to provide teens and young adults with affordable, timely and culturally competent direct clinical care and educational outreach services. Our goal is to prevent teen and unplanned pregnancies, as well as sexually transmitted infections and HIV.
