Federal Grant Award Summary

The Guam Department of Education received a $333,550 formula grant award from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), CFDA 93.092, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028. The award supports comprehensive sexual health education and youth development initiatives targeting adolescents ages 10-19, with particular emphasis on pregnant and parenting youth under age 21 in Guam.

Through this funding, GDOE will implement evidence-based prevention education addressing abstinence and contraception to reduce teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV/AIDS. Programs will incorporate instruction on at least three of six adulthood preparation topics including healthy relationships, adolescent development, financial literacy, parent-child communication, educational and career success, and healthy life skills. All funded services must be medically accurate, age-appropriate, and culturally responsive, with particular emphasis on reaching vulnerable and at-risk populations including youth in foster care, juvenile justice systems, victims of human trafficking, and homeless or runaway youth across Guam's public school system.
