2018 RFP New Jersey School Based Youth Services Program- Middle School

The 2018 RFP establishes a School‑Based Youth Services Program (SBYSP) for middle‑school students (grades 6‑8) in Camden City and elsewhere in Camden County. Two grant awards of $180,000 each fund the creation and operation of two SBYSP sites for a 12‑month period, with a required 25 % matching contribution ($45,000) from each awardee. The program must deliver a minimum set of services—including mentorship, general student support, and parent/caregiver engagement—and meet specific operating‑hour requirements. Recipients must staff three grant‑required positions (Middle School Coordinator, Youth Development Specialist, Mental Health Counselor) and provide detailed reporting and data collection using DCF tools. The solicitation was open to public‑school districts, non‑profit agencies, hospitals, and higher‑education institutions, and required a formal MOU with the host school.
