Youth Centered Planning Meetings

The Iowa Judicial Branch is seeking proposals for one vendor to provide Youth Centered Planning Meetings (YCPMs) to cover the entire State of Iowa, including all JCS Districts. YCPMs are evidence-based services focused on facilitating a smooth transition for youth back into their local community and/or returning home from out-of-home placement. The selected vendor will be required to provide YCPMs to youth aged 12-18 who are under the supervision of JCS, and may be achieved with the successful vendor subcontracting with other providers. Some key aspects of the job include: • Providing YCPMs to youth in various settings, including Out-of-Home placements and community-based settings • Developing individualized transition plans with youth to address their specific needs and goals • Collaborating with JCS staff, families, and community providers to ensure a cohesive support network for the youth • Traveling as necessary to meet with referred youth placed in various locations in Iowa and out of state.
