Positive prevention youth program contracts
At a glance
- What: Resolutions extending contracts for eight positive prevention youth programs, roughly $800,000 in total, from January 1, 2027 through the end of that calendar year.
- Details: programs serve ages 6-12 year round (after school, out of school time, social-emotional learning, academic enrichment); average active enrollment is about 416 and most programs are over capacity.
- Next steps: staff said this is the last extension; the Children, Youth and Families commission is to review the RFP so other organizations can apply.
- Questions: Director Miller asked how many youth are served; the items go to a later board meeting.
