Intensive Behavior Support for Foster Youth Service

The Riverside County educational authority in California requires intensive behavior support services for foster youth experiencing social-emotional and behavioral challenges that impact their learning. The agency aims to improve student outcomes, maintain orderly educational environments, and increase student engagement and attendance. To solve these challenges, the agency is seeking a provider to implement social-emotional and behavioral strategies, apply behavior modification techniques, and deliver a hybrid of school- and home-based wraparound and social work services. The scope of work covers working with students individually and in groups across various locations, including classrooms, passing periods, lunch, playgrounds, and field trips. The selected provider must support staff with implementing behavior modification contracts, assist in training staff on Positive Behavior Intervention and Support programs, and collect data and anecdotal notes to prepare reports. These services must be directed by school psychologists, site administrators, or other designated staff to promote pro-social and emotional behaviors. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. While the performance of the work is designated as offsite, the services require direct interaction in the home, school, and community settings within Riverside, California. The agency is looking for budget proposals to fund a contract period of one year. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 29, 2026.
