- Native American Youth Grant Opportunity
The Administration for Children and Families has just announced the Family Preservation-Improving the Well-Being of Children Project Implementation (HHS-2009-ACF-ANA-NI-0059) grant.
One of the goals of the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) Family Preservation Program Announcement (PA) is to increase the percentage of youth and young adults who have the skills and knowledge to make informed decisions about healthy relationships, responsible fatherhood, and family preservation.
Some of the activities eligible for funding include:
1. Projects that provide youth education in high schools, youth organizations and community centers on the value of healthy relationships and marriages. This can include education on healthy relationship skills including conflict resolution, communication and commitment. Projects should use a pre-marital education curriculum focused on youth.
2. Projects that provide youth education in high schools, youth organizations and community centers on the value of responsible fatherhood and family preservation.
The Dibble Institute would be pleased to partner with your organization as you develop your logic model, select a pre-marital, youth focused, community sensitive curricula, and seek letters of support. The Love U2, Connections, and Art of Loving Well curricula work well with the grant’s healthy relationships and fatherhood objectives and, most importantly, are research based, evaluated programs that teens and teachers love!

Acceptable applications will be designed to provide abstinence-until-marriage education as defined by Section 510(b)(2) of the Social Security Act, for adolescents aged 12 through 18. The anticipated number of awards is 80 to 90, with funding ranges between $250,000 and $600,000 depending upon the availability of funds and enactment of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 program appropriation.

- OAPP - The AFL Prevention Demonstration grants are for projects to develop, implement and evaluate a multi-site primary abstinence education program targeting youth ages 12-18, as compared with a multi-site "enriched" program model. An enriched program model, as defined in this announcement, is a primary abstinence education program integrated with one of three types of program models chosen by OAPP: Intensive parental/family involvement, mentoring, and community service. See section I-4 of the announcement for further details. OAPP is interested in learning if enriched abstinence models provide a stronger effect than a primary abstinence education program. Applications should propose a comparison of a primary abstinence education program to one of these three models. Primary abstinence education program is defined as 15-25 hours of abstinence education and supportive services and activities conducted within one year with the same participants.

Community Colleges: National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy - The National Campaign’s goal is to improve the lives and future prospects of children and families and, in particular, to help ensure that children are born into families committed to and ready for the demanding task of raising the next generation. Our specific strategy for reaching this goal is to prevent teen pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy, especially among single, young adults. We support a combination of responsible values and behavior by both men and women and responsible policies in both the public and private sectors. If we are successful in reducing both teen and unplanned pregnancy, child and family well-being will improve. There will be less poverty, more opportunities for young men and women to complete their education or achieve other life goals, fewer abortions, and a stronger nation.
