Violence Prevention and Restorative Practices Services

The Rochester City School District in Rochester, New York, is seeking a qualified vendor to implement a comprehensive School Violence Prevention program in four stand-alone middle schools. This initiative is funded by the agency's Extended School Day/School Violence Prevention Grant. The agency is trying to solve the problem of school and community violence by establishing proactive strategies, crisis interventions, and trauma-informed support systems for its middle school students. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to deliver proactive violence prevention strategies, including conflict resolution, peer mediation, restorative practices, and anti-violence education. The agency also requires crisis response interventions for students at higher risk, alongside trauma-informed support for students affected by community violence. Additionally, the project covers wrap-around services that connect the school, home, and broader community to ensure a cohesive support network. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency specifies that performance of the work will occur offsite. Regarding budget, the agency is looking for proposals to define the cost structure rather than providing a pre-determined funding limit. All questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted to the agency no later than June 10, 2026.
