Scope of Work
1. Core Elements of Summer Jobs Connect.
The City of Miami will be responsible for:
a) Identifying and tracking up to 100 job slots funded under this initiative within their
operating SYEP youth employment program.
b) Using these funds as a match to their existing Summer Youth Employment and Financial
Empowerment Program to expand to other work sites within the City of Miami.
c) Leverage existing funding to attract new funders to expand SPEP, which includes adding
new sites beyond the City's departmental sites, with a goal of employing 225 young
people.
d) Working closely with financial institution partners to make at least one safe/affordable
financial product available to the vast majority of all SYEP participants. SYEP program
touch points should be designed to integrate account enrollment and direct deposit of
payroll.
e) Innovation Fund activities include, but are not limited to: Providing multiple one-on-one
financial counseling sessions to SYEP participants by Financial Empowerment Center
counselors, working with the DMV to offer ID creation at the point of bank account
enrollment, providing incentives to youth to promote direct deposit, seeking additional
funding for program to expand including sites outside of city's departmental sites, and
integrating payroll options for the expansion.
f) Actively participating in the CFE Fund's research and learning community efforts.
g) Potentially facilitating and participating in the CFE Fund's site visit during the summer.
h) Supporting CFE Fund communications efforts promoting the SIC initiative.
i) Preparing and submitting timely reports and billing.
2. Summer Employment.
The Grantee will use the CFE Fund grant to fund a total of 100 SYEP slots to low- and moderate -
income youth. The CFE Fund will provide funding to support these job opportunities, which
includes both wages and program administration costs and the use of a staffing agency for the
added job slots and work sites.
Funds may only be used to pay participants who are employed at:
• nonprofit entities or governmental institutions, or
• employers that are are for-profit companies but do not have the financial resources (such
as micro- or small businesses).
3. Banking Access
The City of Miami will build upon its successes from years 1-4 to help more SYEP participants
access and use direct deposit, monitoring closely the quality of accounts offered to youth, advising
the Parks and Recreation summer workforce program about how to advise its temporary employees
about banking and direct deposit options. The City will implement banking access into SYEP by:
• Providing resources at the orientations of all City SYEPscoordinating with the SIC
program manager, financial empowerment counselors, financial institution partners, and
department of motor vehicles, to make sure that all youth are provided the opportunity to
open and utilize appropriate bank products. The DMV will set up a mobile on-site ID
registration at the orientations.
• Educating youth during orientation on the benefits of being banked and the pros and cons
of a variety of bank accounts, ranging from national banks to local credit unions.
4. Financial Empowerment Innovation Fund
The CFE Fund will provide support towards the Grantee's financial empowerment program.
• Conduct two one-on-one sessions with each youth participant. After the SYEP's close at
the end of summer 2018, the counselors will follow-up with each youth client multiple
times either through in-person sessions or via email or phone. The counselors will
complete an individualized coaching assessment of each youth participant after each
session to document data and track outcomes. The counselors will focus on assisting
youth to develop a regular saving practice and assist with productive money management
behaviors.
• Provide incentives to encourage savings. All youth who agree to participate in the
creation of their personalized savings plan and maintain their accounts will receive a $25
gift card. The City will track to see if the desired income of increased savings is realized.
• Leverage existing funding to attract new funders to expand SPEP, which includes adding
new sites beyond the City's departmental sites, with a goal of employing 225 young
people.
• Investigate payroll options for expanded program.
• Enhance and centralize the application system with new processing.
5. Evaluation
The Municipal Grantee and Organizational Grantee must identify, track, and report on youth
occupying the jobs slots funded by CFE Fund. The Grantee and its vendors will also document
progress towards the outcomes as structured in Exhibit CReporting
6. Learning Community
The CFE Fund expects full participation and attendance of both workforce and financial
empowerment partners (or their designees as applicable) at learning community gatherings and
phone calls for SIC grantees, including attendance at two in-person meetings held in the spring
and in the fall of 2018. Municipal Grantee and Organizational Grantee will respond to requests
from CFE Fund to share best practices with other Program Grantees. The CFE Fund also will
have monthly, one-on-one check-in calls with each grantee city.
7. Media, Public Relations and Volunteerism
Grantee will document the success of the program, focusing on financial empowerment
achievements, throughout the year to communicate the progress and impact of SJC. To do so, the
CFE Fund will compile data and stories from all of the participating cities. To prepare for both
planned and ad hoc communication opportunities, Grantee will be expected to prepare and
provide content to the CFE Fund that includes, but is not limited to:
Social media participation: Youth ambassadors, along with the more general group of
SJC participants will also be asked to share their thoughts on Twitter, using the hashtag
#SummerJobsConnect and their city program's Twitter handle.
Social media campaign: The CFE Fund will work with city partners to create content for
a Twitter campaign that has both a city/program partner element and a youth voices
element. City and program partners will be asked to participate in the campaign through
their own programmatic Twitter, and will also be asked to promote youth participation in
CFE Fund social media contests and activities.
o City partner campaign: Cities and program partners will be asked to post content
on Twitter weekly; if partners also have Instagram, they can use these channels as
well. The CFE Fund will provide a social media calendar with sample tweets, but
partners should also be prepared to create and post original content. All posts
should use the #SummerJobsConnect hashtag.
o Participant Campaign: Throughout the summer, the CFE Fund will run a number
of incentivized contests where youth will be rewarded for sharing what SJC
success has meant to them over Twitter. City partners are responsible for
disseminating CFE Fund information about these contests and regularly
encouraging participation in contests; city partners should also ensure that
participants understand contests guidelines and requirements. City partners may
choose to identify a cohort of Ambassadors who are encouraged to share social
media content regularly, both for CFE Fund contests and independently.
The Grantee will facilitate a City Leadership Communications Plan; in which the municipal
partner will engage the Mayor in highlighting Summer Jobs Connect efforts, including in
acknowledging the partnership and support received from the Citi Foundation and the CFE Fund.
Grantee will engage in the following communications and marketing efforts, and share
opportunities with CFE staff providing enough lead time to adequately ensure that Citi
Foundation and CFE Fund can appropriately respond to request for staffing or quotes.
City Leadership Communications Plan will include:
• Disseminating a press release, before or during the summer on or about the week of June
11th, 2018, that acknowledges Citi Foundation and CFE Fund partnership, and includes a
quote from Citi Foundation. The press release should come from the Mayor/Mayor's
Office. (required)
• Tweeting (required) a couple of times over the summer about Summer Jobs Connect,
using the #SummerJobsConnect hashtag to:
■ Acknowledge @Citi Foundation for their support of the program, and
■ Reference/amplify the CFE Fund's Summer Jobs Connect Youth Voices
Twitter campaign.
• In addition, ONE or MORE of the following must also be included in the Grantee's city
leadership communications plan: (required)
o Holding a Mayoral press conference, or other event where Citi Foundation's
support is acknowledged and a Citi representative has a speaking role.
■ If Summer Jobs Connect and the Citi Foundation's partnership will be
recognized at otherwise organized mayoral events (thank you events,
award presentations, summer kickoffs, etc), there should be an opportunity
for a Citi Foundation representative to deliver remarks, and the CFE Fund
must be given sufficient advance notice to identify the appropriate
representative.
■ Cities must provide at least two weeks of advanced notice so Citi can
identify an appropriate staff member to attend, and must coordinate with
the Kelsey Bradley from CFE Fund (kbradley@cfefund.org) on event
logistics in advance.
o Publish a blog post or an op-ed about the SPEP, including a reference to Citi
Foundation's support
o Create a dedicated video or other media piece that recognizes Citi Foundation
support, and sharing it on Mayor's and other City social media channels.
o Create a photo opportunity for the Mayor, a representative from Citi, and SIC
participants that can be shared with the CFE Fund and Citi Foundation and posted
it on the Mayor's and other City social media accounts.
■ Ideally, this photo would be contextualized as SIC by perhaps taking place
at a job site or other relevant location.
■ The photo opportunity may occur during a press conference that takes
place at the beginning of the summer, and may be an opportunity to
present a "big check."
In addition, SIC grantees are expected to participate in and support CFE Fund and Citi
Foundation communications and marketing opportunities, including but not limited to:
• Press Office contact: By March 22, cities must identify a contact in the Mayor's Press
Office or other appropriate office who can coordinate with CFE Fund staff when press
inquiries arise. Contact information should be sent to Kelsey Bradley,
kb radl eyn, cfefund. org.
• Logos: Please add Citi Foundation logo liberally and send photos or links to uses of Citi
logo to Kelsey Bradley at the CFE Fund. Note that the Citi Foundation requires that any
grant recipient using Citi's logo on any collateral, including websites, will complete a
Logo Consent Form, which will be provided by the CFE Fund.
