Description
This opportunity funds the Tribal Personal Responsibility Education Program (Tribal PREP), which supports American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes and tribal organizations in implementing culturally grounded, evidence-based programs that educate youth (ages 10–19) and expectant or parenting youth under 21 on abstinence and contraception for the prevention of pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and HIV. Projects must also promote a successful transition to adulthood by addressing at least three of six congressionally mandated Adulthood Preparation Subjects (APS): healthy relationships, adolescent development, financial literacy, parent-child communication, educational and career success, and healthy life skills. Programs must be medically accurate, age-appropriate, and tailored to the cultural context of the communities served.
