In accordance with section 3-16 (j) of the Procurement Policy Board Rules, the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) will be issuing a Concept Paper for the Mayor's Youth Leadership Council (MYLC) program. MYLC offers a small group of high school students the opportunity to formulate a change agenda for New York City in a policy area of their choice by the youth and to present their recommendations to the Mayor. Youth will also introduce a community benefit project component involving other youth councils across New York City.
Following release of this concept paper, DYCD will issue request for proposals (RFP), through the HHS Accelerator system, seeking to find a qualified vendor to manage the MYLC program in close coordination with DYCD, the New York City Young Men’s Initiative, the Mayor’s Office, and other New York City (NYC) agencies. The Concept Paper can be found on DYCD's website starting November 10, 2014 at www.nyc.gov/dycd under the Resources for non-profits link.
Please email comments to DYCD at CP@dycd.nyc.gov no later than December 8, 2014 Please enter “MYLC Concept Paper” in the subject line.
