Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is seeking partners to assist the agency with designing and implementing targeted programming for the 2018 Urban Summer Youth Initiative. The initiative is focused on providing at-risk youth and young adults ages 13 – 21 with high quality cultural and recreational programs during summer months. DCR seeks vendors in Boston, Brockton, Lawrence, Lowell, New Bedford, Springfield and Worcester. In addition to proposals recommending programs at DCR sites, we also seek proposals for programs to be offered at other non-DCR sites as well that can serve youth from Boston, Brockton, Lawrence, Lowell, New Bedford, Springfield, and Worcester. Authorized use of non-DCR sites will be the responsibility of the vendor and will incur no risk of liability to DCR.
