Description
This funding opportunity supports the implementation of sexual risk avoidance education (SRAE) projects designed to teach youth ages 10–19 to voluntarily refrain from nonmarital sexual activity. The program aims to promote personal responsibility, self-regulation, goal setting, healthy decision-making, and the prevention of risk behaviors such as drug and alcohol use, without normalizing teen sexual activity. Projects must use evidence-based or evidence-informed curricula that are medically accurate, age-appropriate, and culturally relevant. Services should be delivered by local organizations in states and territories that did not accept FY 2025 allocations for the Title V State SRAE program.
