future performance, upon Administrator's request, in the event Service

the services agreed to be done by it under this Agreement, City relies upon the
skill of Service Provider and its subcontractors, if any, to do and perform such
services in a skillful manner and Service Provider agrees to thus perform the
services and require the same of any subcontractors. Therefore, any acceptance

but not limited to personal injury, death at any time and property damage), and
from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including
reasonable attorney's fees and litigation expenses) that arise out of, pertain to, or

its principals, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers in the performance of this

Agreement. The phrase "fail to maintain any required insurance" shall
include, without limitation, notification received by City that an insurer has

commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it,
indicating that the insurer is insolvent.

to release or diminish the liability of Service Provider, including, without
limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The

whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act
as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Service
Provider. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall
in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Service Provider, its
principals, officers, agents, employees, or persons under the supervision of

subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
(d) Upon request of City, Service Provider shall immediately furnish City with a
complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Agreement,

with Service Provider and City prior to the commencement of any services
by the subcontractor. Service Provider and any subcontractor/sub

20 37 10 01 or by an executed manuscript company endorsement providing
additional insured status as broad as that contained in ISO Form CG
20 10 11 85.

change to the information provided by Service Provider in such statement.

Provider shall not employ or retain the services of any person while such

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Service Agreement between City of Fresno
and CASA of Fresno and Madera Counties
One Fresno Youth Job Corps Program
RFP No. 3857
Section 1: Program Goal
This program is designed to provide inclusive economic investment while creating an
opportunity for our most vulnerable youth to be hired and trained for employment with the
City of Fresno. This program will help participants (fellows) realize their potential, obtain
soft-skills and on-the-job training for entry level positions throughout City of Fresno
departments, and earn a living wage. The primary goals of the program are:
1. Increase youth employment
2. Develop career pathways
3. Strengthen city/community capacity
Fellows will also be provided wrap-around services with a local Community Based
Organization (CBO) to remove barriers to employment such as childcare, transportation,
mentorship, and case management. Strategic objectives to meet the goals of this program
include:
• Identify the highest need 16-30 year-old youth and provide an opportunity for entry-
level employment in city government;
• Identify career paths for each fellow to ensure future upward mobility
• Remove existing barriers of vulnerable residents for training and employment with
the City of Fresno
• Provide job training, case management and mentorship through local CBO
partnerships for all fellows in the program
• Provide fellows with tools for success in future employment at the City of Fresno
or other outside organizations
• Provide a living wage for fellows throughout the duration of the program
Section 2: Program Design
The One Fresno Youth Workforce Development program will focus on successful skills
development, mentorship and case management for our most vulnerable youth which will
ultimately change the path of our future workforce. Built on four core components 1)
recruitment, 2) training and skills development, 3) mentorship and case management and
4) employment, the program will enable City of Fresno youth ages 16 to 30 who may have
difficulty finding employment gain skills, experience, and have a source of income over
the course of two years and beyond. This program will help participants expand their
horizon for gainful employment opportunities.

Youth eligibility requirements include youth between the ages of 16-30 and priority will be
given to youth that meet two or more of the following criteria:
• Have difficulty finding employment
• Are low-income
• Are unemployed and/or out of school
• Are or were justice-involved
• Are in or transitioning from foster care
• Are engage with the mental health or substance abuse system
The City of Fresno will partner with local Community Based Organizations (CBOs) that
have an expertise in serving the target fellow population. CBOs will provide recruitment,
training, case management, and general wrap-around services. We anticipate a wide
variety of individual needs surfacing during the recruitment of fellows, as each will likely
have varying educational levels, job experience and backgrounds. The ideal career
development program will depend on each fellow's interest and position.
Other important aspects of the program and wrap-around services include mentorship
and case management. CBOs that have expertise and success in similar programs and
with our target population. Each CBO partner selected will possess an exemplary and
long-standing history in the community and services for hard-to-reach populations. They
will provide dedicated mentors and case management staff to ensure fellows are
successful throughout the program. Other important wrap-around services for program
fellows include transportation to and from work and in-person training classes, childcare
services, and food vouchers for fellows in need, thus removing as many barriers to
employment as possible. CBOs will be expected to provide these components for their
recruited and assigned fellows within this program. If a CBO has an existing program in
place and are selected to be a part of this program, funding must be apart from and
tracked separately so as not to duplicate efforts. Fellows will be given a unique identifier
from the City of Fresno and all invoices will have detailed information regarding expenses
and related services for each fellow.
Section 3: Youth Recruitment/Development
The City of Fresno believes that, to enact positive change in someone's life, you must
provide them an opportunity and encouragement to succeed . Through this program, we
want to encourage young people that positive change is not only possible, but that valued
employment can be the change they are seeking. Every fellow in the One Fresno Youth
Workforce Development Program will proceed through the following program process:
Fellows will be sourced via city outreach and through various CBO partners. Partner
organizations will conduct concurrent recruitment from their own target populations and
Page 2 of 3
DocuSign Envelope ID: 25DA9DE9-385C-4933-A41 0-C24365E26783
recommended fellows will be screened through Career Nexus and along with the fellows
input, placed by the City of Fresno in a career path and position for employment.
Once hired, fellows will continue to receive wrap-around services as necessary with the
CBO that will oversee their needs. CBO staff will contact assigned fellows on a
reoccurring basis to promote continued participation and dedication to the One Fresno
Youth Workforce Development program. Where mentorship and case management are
needed, CBOs will provide services and additional resources in accordance with grant
guidelines. Other CBO services identified through the proposal process will be
implemented accordingly to their assigned fellows.
Section 4: Metrics/Outcomes
The City of Fresno is committed to tracking all metrics required by CaliforniaVolunteers.
Metrics and outcomes speak to the success of any program and including these data
points is essential to program evaluation. These will include tracking the number of youth
employed through the program, the number of youth employed in each focus area, the
percentage of youth who retain jobs for the full term, the percentage of participants
receiving positive performance evaluations at the end of their term, and job training
evaluations for future employment. In addition to quantitative metrics, we would also like
to include qualitative information such as post-program surveys, while documenting fellow
success stories along the way. Any additional metrics that CB Os identify in the proposal
process will be implemented.
