FY25 Interventions for Highest Promise Youth Request for Qualifications

Metropolitan Peace Initiatives (MPI), a division of Metropolitan Family Services (MFS), is pleased to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the selection of qualified community-based organizations (CBOs) to deliver Interventions for Highest Promise Youth. The Interventions for Highest Promise Youth initiative seeks to engage and support youth, aged 14 to 21, who have been disconnected from the educational system and are at risk of being involved or exposed to gun violence.

The initiative focuses on creating a city-wide infrastructure that supports a tiered and integrated continuum of services (TICS) aimed at re-engaging youth with the education system and providing comprehensive support to ensure their success.

Completed application packets are due on Monday, May 12, 2025 by 5 p.m. CST. Packets must be submitted via email to saferchicagoproposal@metrofamily.org.

Please email all questions to saferchicagoproposal@metrofamily.org with the subject heading “Highest Promise Youth RFQ Questions” no later than Thursday, May 1, 2025.
