City Seeks Operator of Youth Programs
The city is seeking proposals from youth-oriented community groups to operate the city’s after-school programs for children 6 to 12 years old.
Since 1992, the city has been providing after-school programs for young people at two locations.
But after reviewing the high costs of running those programs, which drew only a small number of participants and duplicated other community services, the City Council decided in June to change the way its youth programs are operated.
To streamline the process, city officials said, they hope to contract with a group experienced in providing recreation programs for elementary and middle school students.
Such an organization would agree to offer sports, arts and crafts, community volunteer opportunities and field trips, all designed to build children’s self-esteem, life skills and scholastic aptitude, officials said.
Proposals from community groups are due by Dec. 2. Information: (714) 493-1171.
