Join the With Youth, For Youth (WYFY) Southeast Michigan Initiative
The Michigan Afterschool Partnership is recruiting the second cohort of youth ages 14-18 to serve the purpose of supporting out-of-school time and youth sports programs that incorporate youth voice and decision-making. The With Youth For Youth initiative will serve as a model for youth power inclusion, youth-led systems change, and community impact across the southeast Michigan region.
Request for Proposal (RFP) for 2026 – 2027
Science of Reading Evidence-based OST Literacy Framework, Practical Resources, Professional Development and Site-Based Coaching
The Michigan Afterschool Partnership is seeking proposals from qualified organizations, consultants, or firms to support the development and launch of the Michigan Reads Beyond the Bell initiative. The purpose of the initiative is to enhance literacy programming in OST settings by providing research-based professional development, educational resources, and a structured literacy framework that will improve literacy outcomes among K-12 students in Michigan by leveraging the potential of out-of-school time programs.
Proposals are due by 5:00 p.m. on September 16, 2026.

Request for Proposal (RFP) Michigan Youth Development Associate (MI-YDA) Learning Management System (LMS) Portal Build
The Michigan Afterschool Partnership is seeking proposals from qualified organizations, consultants, or firms to support the development and launch of the MI-YDA LMS Portal Build.
This initiative aims to improve youth outcomes across Michigan by strengthening the quality of K-12 OST staff. Through research-based professional development, educational resources, and structured coursework, we equip staff with the tools and management support needed to deliver high-quality programming.
This rebuild replaces that manual load with a purpose-built portal so staff time goes toward strengthening MI-YDA, not maintaining it. The goal is not a like-for-like replacement of the current system. Where it makes sense, add automation processes and workflow support the current system doesn't have today, aimed squarely at reducing the extra hours our team has been absorbing to keep the program running manually.
Proposals are due by 5:00 p.m. on September 25, 2026.
