The Coatesville Youth Initiative is seeking an experienced consultant to conduct and prepare a needs assessment and feasibility study so that CYI will be able to determine whether to proceed with planning, fundraising, and establishing a community and youth center in Coatesville.

Based on preliminary inquiries, CYI believes that a new center is a much-needed resource in Coatesville. CYI seeks to determine the community’s perspectives about a center, the potential for fundraising, and the appropriateness and preparedness of CYI to take the lead on such a project.

The activities and deliverables for the study are expected to include:

• Engage members of the Coatesville community and conduct research to identify and evaluate the community need for a center
• Assess partnership opportunities in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, including as tenants and service providers
• Analyze fundraising and earned income potential, including for construction of the center, long-term maintenance, and support for CYI’s current and core programs
• If a center is needed and possible, develop several scenarios for facility size, features, location, and amenities, funding sources for construction and maintenance, development timeline, CYI’s organizational structure, and more
• Provide ongoing consultation and support around internal and external communications related to the study

This study will not include architectural renderings or other information beyond the feasibility study.
