Call for Feedback - DYCD Concept Paper

The Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) has released the concept paper for the Comprehensive After School System Elementary (COMPASS) and School’s Out New York City (SONYC) programs in public schools and other settings. The primary purpose of the COMPASS and SONYC programs is to provide a range of engaging enrichment activities, after school and during holidays and the summer, to help students in kindergarten through Grade 8 to thrive and to support families with childcare. The concept paper is a precursor to a Request for Proposal (RFP), which DYCD anticipates will be released in Fall 2025. The concept paper can be found via PASSPort procurement navigator and DYCD is eager to hear community feedback in order to inform the RFP process. Comments should be submitted via the feedback survey no later than July 11, 2025.
