Commitment to Excellence

FutureNet invites all providers of sexual health education in Iowa to voluntarily commit to the following:

ACCURACY
Sexual health education will be factual, medically accurate, and informed by the weight of available peer-reviewed research.

ACCOUNTABILITY
Providers will voluntarily adhere to a basic set of science-based standards and be willing to accept a periodic peer review of practices and program content.

AFFIRMATION
Sexual health education will affirm sexuality as a natural lifelong quality of being human which can be expressed in healthy, responsible ways.

ADVOCACY
Providers will actively advocate for:

• Abstinence first from any form of risky sexual activity,
• Age-appropriate, medically accurate sexuality education for all,
• Access and referral to reproductive health care and services for sexually active youth, and
• The efficacy of contraception and condoms in reducing the risk of pregnancy and STI/HIV infection.
