RFI for Expanding Summer Opportunities Service

The City of Lowell seeks information from onshore USA organizations regarding their capacity to expand summer opportunities for local youth. The goal of this initiative is to engage young people in safe, supportive offsite environments where they can build skills, explore interests, participate in enrichment or recreation, and prepare for educational or career pathways. Organizations are asked to provide data on their current summer programming, potential additional program capacity, youth employment capacity for ages 14–24, inclusive programming supports, geographic reach, and estimated expansion costs. This Request for Information serves planning purposes to help the City understand community capacity, and submitted responses may inform a future competitive Request for Proposals. Onshore USA organizations are eligible to respond, but submitting a response form does not guarantee funding. The provided text does not state application deadlines, question submission dates, evaluation criteria, contract terms, or specific budget allocations.
