Afterschool Challenge Grant RFP Available!

The Middletown Youth Services Bureau Advisory Board through the City's Youth Services Bureau (YSB) has released the application for the 2011-12 Educational Incentives Challenge Grant.

This Request For Proposals (RFP) is to solicit program activities from community agencies and organizations that support the goals of the Educational Incentive Challenge Grant (EICG), as well as enhance educational opportunities directly or indirectly. This grant is looking to fund program activities for children in Grades K-12 that help support at-risk, under-represented students who traditionally are not involved in programming outside the regular school day. These activities may be of academic, recreational, cultural, physical, psychological, and/or emotional benefit to the child.

The RFP document includes all guidelines, timelines, and directions for the narrative that will assist in the development of a proposal and can be found on the YSB website, www.middletownyouthservices.org or one may follow this link to go directly to the YSB's EICG page.

There will be a non-mandatory bidder's conference held on Wednesday, July 13st at 10am in the Middletown Board of Education's Conference Room A (please RSVP at carbonellaj@mpsct.org). The deadline for submission is August 10th at 10am.
