Financial Literacy Training for City Youth Employees

The City of Cincinnati seeks a qualified vendor to deliver comprehensive financial‑literacy training for youth employees (ages 14‑17) participating in the “Youth to Work” program and to facilitate the opening of fee‑free youth banking accounts. The contract is for three years with a maximum annual budget of $25,000. The vendor must provide all instruction directly, conduct pre‑ and post‑assessments, manage training schedules (summer intensive sessions and optional fall/spring cohorts), and submit quarterly performance reports. A partnership with a financial institution that will open youth‑friendly accounts at no cost to the City is also required. • Deliver interactive, curriculum‑based training covering banking basics, budgeting, pay‑check understanding, and digital spending. • Secure a letter of support/MOU from a fee‑free bank to open youth accounts for program participants. • Provide pre‑ and post‑assessment data, attendance logs, and quarterly reports on training outcomes and banking enrollment.
