Youth Development Curriculum Development & Training Facilitation – Request for Information

The County of Los Angeles Department of Youth Development is seeking information from organizations and practitioners with experience in developing and facilitating youth development curricula and training for professionals serving youth. This Request for Information, identified as YD-2026-03, is not a solicitation or contract and does not obligate the agency to award any future agreement; its purpose is purely to gather market insights to inform the design of a future procurement. Respondents must submit their responses through the online portal at BIT.LY/DYDCURRICULUMRFI by 5:00 p.m. PST on Friday, May 29, 2026, and responses submitted via email or as PDF attachments will not be accepted as primary submissions, though supplemental materials may be emailed to jyi@dyd.lacounty.gov if referenced in the portal. The RFI requires detailed descriptions of organizational experience, including at least three examples of past curricula or training programs developed for youth-serving professionals, with an emphasis on alignment with the Department’s Youth Development Framework centered on identity development, mental and emotional well-being, and cultural connection, belonging, and safety. The place of performance for any future work is Los Angeles, California, and respondents are expected to have experience working within the county’s Service Planning Areas. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing details, or binding requirements are included, as this document is strictly for informational and market research purposes. The only designated point of contact is Joanne Yi, reachable by phone or email for submission-related inquiries, and the NAICS code listed is 611430, indicating the focus on other schools and instruction.
