Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), DYCD is seeking qualified vendors to provide Literacy programs in New York City. The populations served by the programs that are the subject of this RFP are adults that are English Language Learners (ELLs), lack sufficient mastery of basic educational skills and/or lack high school diplomas. The programs’ primary purposes are to provide contextualized literacy services to help participants and communities thrive. The program will improve a broad range of competencies related to literacy, such as basic language skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), and support participants to meet their contextualized goals in areas including, but not limited to parenting, workplace, health care and civic engagement.
