SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Maine is seeking a vendor to provide planning grant services to help communities assess their readiness to adopt a long-term youth development and mentoring model in partnership with local middle and high schools.
The initiative is intended to help communities design and implement an informed, sustainable mentoring model that raises post-secondary aspirations, supports positive youth development, improves educational outcomes, and strengthens community-based support systems for young people. Planned activities may include fostering collaboration among schools, community organizations, and other stakeholders; developing culturally relevant, asset-based, developmentally informed youth programs; and supporting mentoring, college and career readiness, experiential learning, and community engagement.
The program will also support youth in exploring their interests, setting goals, and pursuing post-secondary education or career pathways. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 13, 2026.
