City seeking proposals for after-school activities

PROVIDENCE -- The city is looking for proposals from community-based youth program providers to create an after-school learning activity program for high school students.

The proposal that wins would get a $100,000 grant from the city to start a multi-year effort to build a network of after-school programs around the city’s high schools, Mayor David Cicilline's office said in a news release.

The team would also need to identify and meet the needs of students going from eighth to ninth grade. And it would track student achievement through graduation from high school.

Written roposals must be submitted by Oct. 2 to: Garry Bliss, director of policy and legislative affairs, Providence City Hall, 25 Dorrance Street, Providence, RI 02903.
