BACKGROUND
This Agreement provides for facilitation and consultant services to assist in developing a county-wide inclusive fully integrated system of care for Probation youth to include prevention services, intervention, and transition services. The County previously maintained an agreement for these services, and establishing a new contract is necessary to support continued operations and ensure the ongoing availability of these services.
Shared Vision Consultants (SVC) has a team of subject matter experts, which provides a wide variety of innovative services including systems change through strategic planning, leadership, coaching, transfer of Learning, facilitation, curriculum development, training, team building, project coordination, and organizational development. SVC specializes in working with the State and counties for over 12 years providing services to children, youth, at-risk youth and their families.
Funding for the entire contract amount is offset by State funds. A portion will be funded under SB823, for the purposes of providing county-based custody, care, and supervision of youth who are realigned from the State Division of Juvenile Justice. The remaining will be funded under the Youth Offender Block Grant (YOBG) funds, which support county-based programs and services for justice-involved youth and assist in meeting the needs of youth under the County’s care, custody, and supervision.

Approve and authorize Agreement No. 270204B with Shared Vision Consultants, Inc for the term November 17, 2026 through November 16, 2028, with a $40,000 contract maximum to provide a county-wide, all-inclusive plan for prevention strategies and services integration for at-risk youth and their families.
