Scope of Work: The Seattle Office of City Auditor seeks a consultant to conduct an evaluability assessment of the Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative (SYVPI) program.  SYVPI’s stated goal is to reduce youth violence as measured by a 50% reduction in violence-related juvenile court referrals and middle school suspensions and expulsions in three areas of Seattle. SYVPI was designed to target at risk youth between the ages of 12 and 17. Through partnerships with 50+ public and nonprofit professionals, SYVPI’s multi-pronged strategy is coordinated by three community based organizations in “neighborhood networks” in central, southeast and southwest Seattle.  SYVPI serves approximately 1,000 youth per year. Services include the following: 1) Case Management, 2) Street Outreach, 3) Mentoring, 4) Aggression Replacement Training, 5) School Emphasis Officers, 6) Community Matching Grants, 7) Youth Employment, and 8) Recreation Opportunities.

The selection of the Consultant is subject to applicable laws and ordinances regarding equal employment opportunity.
