Description
This opportunity provides funding for projects that deliver culturally relevant, evidence-based education to American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth, ages 10–19, and expectant or parenting youth under age 21. The program aims to prevent adolescent pregnancy, reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, and promote successful transitions to adulthood. Funded projects must educate youth on both abstinence and contraception, and must incorporate 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 target population.
