2018 Temporary Assistance To Needy Families Summer Youth Employment Program
The County of Westchester (the 'County'), acting on behalf of the Westchester-Putnam Local Workforce Development Board ('WPLWDB'), is soliciting proposals from public and private not-for-profit organizations to operate Temporary Assistance to Needy Families ('TANF') Summer Youth Employment Programs. The TANF Summer Youth Employment program targets youth 14 to 20 years old. The purpose of the TANF Summer Youth Employment Program is to provide summer employment jobs to eligible youth. A direct, hands-on experience in a job is an effective method of assisting youth in experiencing the rewards of doing a good job and receiving a paycheck. The use of a financial incentive, via wages, is a powerful motivator for youth to come to work, to come to work on time, do the job, and to stay on the job. The TANF Summer Youth Employment Program is designed to provide services to youth ages 14 to 20 during the summer months. Proposers are invited to submit proposals for the TANF Summer Youth Employment Program. Proposals must conform to the requirements of this RFP and to the provisions of the TANF Summer Youth Employment Program. There exists the possibility that the County will enter into contracts with multiple proposers, with each providing a specific TANF summer employment program as part of the County's overall program.
