GUIDING STAR PROJECT

We are working to establish comprehensive centers nationwide for women and families that uphold Natural Law and promote a New Feminism; a complementary view of humanity that places women, men, and children in loving family circles of trust, stability, and of mutual giving and acceptance. These centers will provide support for natural means of family planning, fertility care, childbirth, breastfeeding, and family life.

Guiding Star Centers will be evident by their empowering atmosphere and the convenience of a ‘one-stop shop’ for all the support women and families need to honor their natural gift of fertility and the important role of motherhood. These Centers will meet the needs of everyday people in wholistic, life-affirming ways. We will facilitate cooperation between many providers to better serve women and families in one convenient, professional, welcoming location.

The following strategies will be the focus of GSP over the next two years. The strategies are divided into two major parts: 1) Women's Heathcare; 2) Cultural Change

WOMEN'S HEALTHCARE
In order to ensure the quality of our Affiliates and the care the provide, we will develop a benchmark system that guides Affiliates growth by encouraging them in community collaboration to expand their services and continually strive for higher levels of care,

In order to develop Affiliate relations and move them through the benchmark system, we will acquire an Affiliate Director to provide Affiliates with necessary support and regulation.

CULTURAL CHANGE
To create cultural change we will form a speakers' bureau with a line-up of speakers who will go across the country talking on different aspects of GSP's vision for women's healthcare. We will also create Guiding Star Media to produce books, brochures, and educational materials.

With a network of 6 Guiding Star Centers currently operating, and a number of potential affiliates, a community of experts in the field of Wholistic Women's Healthcare have been assembled. These experienced medical providers and service providers contribute to the success of The Guiding Star Project as a whole, and are GSP's finest resource.
The Guiding Star Project as a brand is continuing to grow in recognition, and is present at some of the largest and most prestigious events centered on pro-woman and pro-life healthcare.
Over the last two years GSP has gone from being operated by volunteers, to a paid staff of three individuals who are educated and experienced in the management and operations of an organization.

Since 2015, six Guiding Star Centers have opened across the country, and become fully operational. In the past year, GSP staff has consulted with professionals in the field of women's healthcare and developed a standard of service for all Guiding Star Centers, along with a Guiding Star Affiliate Operations Manual to ensure the quality and success of each Center.
In terms of cultural change, we continue to increase instances of exposure to the public through conferences and speaking events. This year has seen a doubling of the number of speaking events our Guiding Star speakers have been invited to. GSP is continuing to rely on the expertise of our partners to provide educational opportunities, such as women's healthcare webinars and educational brochures.
