Real Education and Access for Healthy Youth Act of 2025

This legislation would fund honest, age-appropriate sex education in schools and colleges and make sexual health services easier to get for young people ages 10 to 29. Lessons and services must be science-based, medically accurate, inclusive, and trauma-informed; they must cover consent, healthy relationships, pregnancy, STIs, and gender identity and expression, and align with national sex education standards. It also sets strong guardrails: no money can go to programs that withhold health facts, are inaccurate, or promote gender or racial stereotypes, and funded activities cannot discriminate, including based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

It creates five-year grants to help elementary and secondary schools and youth groups teach sex education; support colleges in offering campus programs; train teachers and staff; and expand youth-friendly sexual health care for underserved young people through outreach, referrals, and partnerships that bring services to where teens and young adults are . The government must publish yearly reports and run a multi-year, independent evaluation of the results.

• Who is affected: students in K–12 schools and colleges; young people ages 10–29; teachers and school staff; youth-serving groups and clinics .
• What changes: new federal grants; public reporting and an impact study; ends federal abstinence-only-until-marriage funding and redirects remaining funds to these programs .
• When: funding is authorized at $100 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2031; each grant lasts five years .
