This is a Scope of Work document issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Youth Development (DYD) for the Youth Diversion and Development Services Work Order Solicitation (YDS-D program). The solicitation seeks qualified service providers to implement community-based care coordination and diversion programming for youth under 18 years old in Los Angeles County who would otherwise face involvement in the justice system for alleged felony offenses. The program provides comprehensive diversion and development services designed to keep at-risk youth engaged in positive activities and support systems rather than allowing them to progress through the criminal justice system. The scope of work outlines the requirements for organizations to deliver evidence-based programming, care coordination, case management, and supportive services tailored to individual youth needs across multiple service delivery sites throughout the county.

The document establishes performance standards and service delivery expectations for contracted providers, including requirements for staff qualifications, program evaluation metrics, and compliance with county policies and procedures. Providers must demonstrate capacity to serve designated youth populations and maintain partnerships with schools, community organizations, and county agencies to facilitate comprehensive support services. The WOS represents DYD's commitment to expanding its network of community-based providers capable of delivering quality diversion services and measurable outcomes in youth development and justice system diversion. Specific details regarding contract award timeline, funding amounts, budget parameters, and renewal options would be detailed in accompanying solicitation documents and budget schedules.
