The Pro-Choice Public Education Project is dedicated to engaging young women on their terms around the critical issue of reproductive freedom. Historically, the reproductive rights movement has marginalized young women, women of color, and low-income women, among other groups. PEP works to bridge the gap between organizations and diverse young women by both listening to young women's stories, and by working with organizations to help them meet young women where they are.

To that end, PEP engages the organizations in the reproductive health, rights and justice movement and puts them in dialogue with young women who are developing their activism skills. The staff of PEP act as mentors and anchors, while the bulk of PEP's programming and research is directed by the Young Women's Leadership Council.
