Revolution youth title v competitive sexual risk avoidance education

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded Revolution Youth Inc. $154,395 on September 30, 2025, under the Title V Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program (CFDA 93.787) to continue implementation of sexual risk avoidance education for Vermont youth.

Revolution Youth will deliver the Love Notes 3.0 evidence-based curriculum to youth ages 16–19 in Chittenden County (including Winooski) and Franklin County, Vermont, throughout the continuation period ending September 29, 2027. The curriculum integrates positive youth development principles and adulthood preparation, covering healthy relationships, communication, goal setting, future planning, personal responsibility, decision-making, and self-sufficiency. Instruction is delivered through classroom-based programming, mentoring, case management support, and referrals to community resources coordinated with local partners.

The project anticipates serving at least 50 youth and focuses on four core objectives: delivering the Love Notes 3.0 curriculum with fidelity, strengthening positive youth development outcomes, ensuring timely referrals and supportive services for youth with identified needs, and maintaining high-quality implementation through continuous quality improvement and performance monitoring. Program staff will address barriers to youth engagement and long-term success, including economic hardship, trauma, mental health concerns, household instability, and food insecurity, through supportive services and wraparound coordination.

This is a non-competing continuation award, a classification used by ACF to extend funding into subsequent budget periods based on satisfactory progress and compliance with award terms.
