Youth Development Curriculum Design

The contract seeks the design and development of an evidence-based core training curriculum for youth-serving professionals, fully aligned with the DYD Youth Development Framework, with a focus on four critical areas: identity formation, mental health support, cultural connection, and community engagement. The curriculum must be grounded in research and best practices to ensure effectiveness and relevance for professionals working directly with youth in California, particularly in Los Angeles where performance is expected. The project requires a structured, scalable approach that integrates trauma-informed principles, cultural responsiveness, and practical tools for real-world application. This subcontract opportunity is open for bid with a response deadline of May 30, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 611430 for other schools and instruction. The contract is managed by the Department of Youth Development, California, and no set-aside provisions are specified, meaning it is open to all qualified entities. All deliverables must meet the standards of the DYD framework and support consistent implementation across youth service organizations. Interested parties must submit proposals through the provided online portal by the stated deadline to be considered for award.
