Determination of Interest #DOI 24-003 Title: Juvenile Chaplaincy Programming and Services for Sacramento County Probation

1. Introduction

1.1. Summary

The purpose of this Determination of Interest (DOI) is to exchange information between the Sacramento

County Probation Department (Probation Department) and potential future community-based organizations interested in providing chaplaincy services for youth up to age 25 at the Youth Detention

Facility (YDF), 9601 Kiefer Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95827.

The Probation Department desires to secure a future agreement with a service provider experienced in the delivery of non-denominational religious programming and chaplaincy services. At this stage, the

Probation Department seeks informational input only, as requested herein, and as jointly developed through the exchange of written questions, answers thereto. It is expected that organizations who submit information responses shall have the ability to, and interest in, providing chaplaincy services, at the level of care indicated in the DOI.

1.2. Background

The Probation Department relies on outside service providers for necessary programs and services, which are not within the scope of services offered by the Probation Department or other county staff.

The Board of State Community Corrections (BSCC) Title 15, section 1072, requires the YDF administrator to provide opportunities for youth in detention to participate in religious services, practices and counseling on a voluntary basis. Youth detained at YDF must have access to religious services and counseling at minimum once a week on a voluntary basis.
