Type and Scope of services to be performed:
This contract engages Denver Public Schools (DPS) as the city’s youth provider for the summer season of the Denver Youth Employment Program (DYEP) in 2021. The program’s goal for service in 2021 is 210 youth. Each youth will have the opportunity to earn between $500 and almost $1,800 depending on their work experience role online or in-person, or a hybrid, and the hours they complete.
Since June 2016, when Denver began its new contracted delivery system for adult and youth workforce programs, DPS has demonstrated success related to youth enrollments and service. In addition to the In-School Youth program under WIOA, the Denver Youth Employment Program was also added to DPS’ contract beginning for Summer 2018, was performed in Summer 2019 and 2020, and will be continued for 2021.
DPS’ Family and Community Engagement (FACE) team worked with DEDO during the pandemic to reconfigure the DYEP program to be able to deliver pre-employment training and career exploration content in a safe environment amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Program delivery was substantially different in 2020 due do the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021 delivery will be a hybrid of online as well as in-person employment roles. New this year, we are also adding a strong curriculum component on financial literacy in cooperation with the Denver Office of Financial Empowerment.
Program focus is on disadvantaged youth, and given that there are more such youth interested in this program than our budget can accommodate, the qualified eligible applicants are being offered a chance to participate through a lottery. DYEP promotion garnered nearly 800 applicants in Spring 2020 and recruitment for 2021 has proven strong both for youth as well as prospective employers. Matching between youth and employers is currently underway.
