S. 1910, the Real Education and Access for Healthy Youth Act of 2025, would create a federal grant program providing $100 million annually from 2026 to 2031 to fund comprehensive sex education and sexual health services for young people ages 10-29, with priority given to underserved communities. The bill would support four types of grants: programs in K-12 schools and youth organizations, college-based education, teacher training, and confidential health services through community organizations, all based on evidence-based, medically accurate standards covering topics like anatomy, contraception, STIs, consent, and healthy relationships. The legislation would repeal the existing federal abstinence-only program and redirect those funds to these comprehensive initiatives, while also requiring all federally-funded health education to address the needs of LGBTQ+ youth, violence survivors, and people with disabilities. Grantees would be required to report on their work, and an independent evaluation would assess program outcomes over six years, with nondiscrimination protections ensuring no federal funds support medically inaccurate or incomplete sex education.
