See the services you can request, how projects may be scoped, and what you will receive before approving a proposal.
What can my organization actually engage AYA Forward to deliver?
Organizations can request a defined leadership workshop or learning series, a curriculum review or custom design project, facilitator training, a program-readiness assessment, a scoped pilot or implementation engagement, and licensing for eligible AYA programs or tools. These are separate potential engagement types—not an automatic bundle. AYA confirms what can be delivered, by whom and on what timeline in a written proposal.
Can a project address education, families and older-adult needs together?
Yes, where the needs and capacity are a fit. AYA can develop a coordinated proposal spanning learning, leadership, family engagement and older-adult community programming. The agreement identifies each distinct service, the responsible parties, any required permissions and the fee before work is authorized.
Can we begin with a pilot before committing to a larger project?
Where the setting and work are a good fit, AYA may propose a defined workshop, readiness review or limited pilot rather than a full implementation. The activities, participants, duration, measures of success and any fee are agreed in writing before work begins.
Who will design and deliver the work?
AYA Forward is a founder-led practice. The proposal identifies who is responsible for design, facilitation, training and follow-through, and whether delivery will be AYA-led or involve specifically authorized facilitators or organizational partners. No additional delivery team is implied until it is confirmed in the scope.
How does procurement work for a school district or public agency?
AYA can provide a capability statement and relevant vendor information, including its Maryland eMMA supplier profile when applicable. Your organization's purchasing rules, competition requirements, approvals, purchase orders and contract terms determine how a project can proceed; an inquiry alone is not a procurement award.
How long does an engagement typically last?
There is no standard duration across a single workshop, a defined pilot, a multi-week curriculum series and a larger implementation. The written proposal states the actual schedule, milestones and review points for the work you are considering.
What will the written scope and fee include?
Before you commit, the proposal identifies the work to be delivered, participants and sites, roles, timeline, materials or licensing rights, implementation support, evaluation expectations and fees. It also sets out key boundaries, required permissions and agreed payment terms; individual Field Kit prices are separate from institutional-use rights.
