Annex Teen Clinic

As we reflect on this year, we want to share a story that embodies the transformative power of the Annex Teen Clinic—a story from one of our very own board members, Emi.

Emi first came to the Annex as a young patient seeking care. She found so much more. From her very first visit, Emi experienced a space that respected her identity, empowered her decisions, and centered her needs. As she puts it, “The Annex didn’t just give me the healthcare I needed—it gave me the confidence and knowledge to advocate for my own body and choices.” 

That confidence grew into advocacy. Emi became a volunteer, educating her peers, sharing resources, and helping others access the tools they needed. Today, as a Board member, she brings her lived experience full circle, ensuring the Annex continues to be a place of empowerment, equity, and care for all young people. 

The Annex changes lives. But we can’t do it without you.  

Your support allows us to provide accessible, inclusive care and education for thousands of young people each year. It helps us create a space where stigma is replaced with compassion, where young people are not just patients but partners in their healthcare journey. 

As Emi so beautifully says, “When you support the Annex, you’re not just supporting a clinic—you’re investing in young people’s futures, their ability to take charge of their health, and their right to live with dignity and autonomy.”  

This year, your gift could: 

• Ensure no young person is turned away due to financial barriers. 
• Expand educational programs that empower youth to make informed decisions. 
• Strengthen our community partnerships to reach even more young people in need. 

Will you join us in this work? Together, we can create a future where every young person feels seen, supported, and capable of shaping their own path.

Make your year-end gift today and be part of the movement for equity, empowerment, and justice.
