Promoting Youth Leadership and Education

The Boston Youth Resiliency and Recovery Collaborative (BYRRC) is an initiative co-chaired by two BPHC programs: the Capacity Building & Training Initiative (CBTI) based within the Division of Violence Prevention (DVP) and the Office of Recovery Services. BYRRC activities under this RFP are funded via the FY21 Opioid Affected Youth Initiative (more info about OAYI here).

BYRRC is seeking proposals from qualified youth-serving agencies to support youth leadership and education through the implementation of polysubstance prevention education for Black and Latinx LGBTQ youth and allies using a peer-to-peer youth substance use prevention curriculum.

Update: RFP timeline has been extended.
