We’ve launched our “2.0”!

In June 2024, we completed a 3 year pilot of our Pregnancy Village model through an event series called the “SF Family & Pregnancy Pop-Up Village”. We co-created this series with Designing Justice + Designing Spaces, utilizing their “Pop-Up Village” event model to bring our goals to life.

After engaging community and participating partners around learnings from our pilot, we launched our 2nd iteration of the Pregnancy Village in October 2025: The SF Pregnancy Family Village. Now in our 5th year, we continue to build on what we’ve accomplished, bringing community & organizations together, to go deeper with our goals.
