History and Organization
Choice USA was founded in 1992 by Gloria Steinem, an American feminist, activist, and writer. The organization's first projects analyzed the activities of the religious right in elections and promoted electoral participation by women, young people, and people of color.
In 2001, Choice USA laid the groundwork for making a transition to exclusively become a youth-led and focused reproductive rights organization by creating programs that incorporated lessons from research and field experience.
Currently, Choice USA's programs reach young people in every region of the country by supporting youth leaders in creating chapters at college and university campuses.
