Prep-2026 - personal responsibility education program

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the Guam Department of Education $333,550 on October 1, 2025, under the Personal Responsibility Education Program (CFDA 93.092), a formula grant supporting comprehensive sexual health and adulthood preparation education for youth ages 10 to 19 and pregnant or parenting youth under age 21.

The program delivers medically accurate education on abstinence and contraception for prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, alongside instruction in at least three adulthood preparation topics: adolescent development, healthy life skills, healthy relationships, parent-child communication, financial literacy, and career and educational success. GDOE serves special populations including youth in foster care, juvenile justice systems, victims of human trafficking, and youth experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

Performance runs through September 30, 2028, with all work performed in Guam. The funding is obligated at $333,550. As a state PREP formula recipient, GDOE submitted a letter of intent to receive this award and may request non-competing continuation awards in subsequent budget periods based on satisfactory progress, compliance with grant terms, and federal determination that continuation funding is in the government's best interest.
