The NeON Arts Program is a community-based initiative that integrates arts programming into the Department’s Neighborhood Opportunity Networks (NeONs), which serve as localized probation centers across New York City. Under this extension, Renaissance Youth Center will continue to facilitate the design, coordination, and implementation of arts-based programming in partnership with local stakeholders and community-based arts organizations. Services include the development of culturally relevant workshops, public showcases, and community events that engage justice-involved youth and other local young people.
Through participation in structured arts programming, participants develop transferable skills such as creative collaboration, communication, and critical thinking, while building positive peer relationships and strengthening connections to their communities. Renaissance Youth Center will also support grant-making activities and coordinate with NeON sites to ensure programming reflects community needs and promotes educational engagement and workforce readiness. This extension supports the continuation of services by an experienced provider with demonstrated capacity to deliver borough-based arts programming while the Department advances a competitive procurement for these services.
Term: July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028
Total Contract Amount: $1,575,000.00
