The city is seeking information from vendors regarding a web application designed to connect youth with city and community programs and services. These programs offer youths opportunities to engage in arts, recreation, mentorship, paid internships, and provide access to safe spaces, discounts, and benefits.
Many teenagers currently rely on schools or parents to learn about these programs, leaving those not engaged in school or without trusted adults underserved. Online searches for such opportunities are often challenging and time-consuming, making it hard for youth to find relevant offerings. Notably, young people frequently use platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram to get information, whereas government outreach often utilizes Facebook, which is less popular among teens.
The city has used a co-design process to develop a prototype web application that aims to meet the specific needs of youth. Vendors are invited to respond to this request for information and must submit any questions by March 9, 2026.
