Dear Youth Service Provider:
The City of Hartford Department of Families, Children, Youth and Recreation (DFCYR) helps children and youth succeed and grow into thriving adults. We partner with families, providers, educators, and the community at large to facilitate key initiatives and programming that help our young people along safe and productive paths.
DFCYR announces a funding initiative through the City of Hartford to provide Youth Violence Prevention and Intervention programming specifically targeted for youth up to age 24 (25 for Re-Entry) who are disengaged, or disconnected from school, are justice involved, and/or are at highest risk for being perpetrators and victims of violence. DFCYR invites violence-interrupting, trauma-informed, community-based, youth development collaborators to submit proposals for our Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Hartford Youth Justice and Violence Reduction Initiative opportunities in accordance with the enclosed Request for Proposals (RFP).
Contingent upon availability, funding will support anti-violence, youth development programing for Hartford youth.
Proposals are due Friday, June 30, 2023 by 11:59 PM EST. Completed applications and/or questions must be submitted via email to youthjustice@hartford.gov. Thank you for your commitment to serving Hartford children, youth, and families.
Sincerely,
Kristina Baldwin
Director, DFCYR
