Youth Team Sports Funding Service

The Wayne County Department of Social Services in Lyons, New York is seeking a vendor to provide a youth team sports funding service. The agency is trying to expand local sports opportunities, particularly in under-resourced communities where such programs are currently limited. This initiative aims to utilize positive youth development principles to improve physical health, mental well-being, future employment readiness, and community cohesion among local youth. The scope of work covers sports where individuals compete on behalf of a group of two or more, including team tennis, team golf, and racing sports like swimming or skiing. The requested service must address physical activity, positive body image, youth mental health, and social-emotional skills. Additionally, the program must help young leaders emerge, reduce discrimination, and increase qualifications that prepare youth for future employment. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations located within the United States. The agency requires the selected vendor to perform all work offsite. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 15, 2026, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget.
