Download the RFP >>

Overview

The City, in collaboration with the Monroe County Office of Mental Health, now seeks partner organization(s) to carry out programming that will assist with the emotional wellbeing of the youth and families within four Quadrants of the city. Due to the increase in violence that continues to occur in the City of Rochester, the City is looking to organizations that can provide social-emotional supports, trauma informed care and restorative practices within the R-Centers. All forms of social-emotional supports will be considered, (i.e. art, music, animal, restorative circles, group experiences, etc.). These programs should be aimed at providing supports and services to assist youth and families as they process difficult situations and incidences that they experience. The City expects these services and programs to be imbedded within the normal operations of the R-Center to ensure that youth have access and for staff to build effective, authentic and meaningful relationships with youth and families.
