2. PURPOSE
The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) through its Office of Health

youth-serving organizations to provide quality, evidence-based teen pregnancy
prevention programming (TPP). The project consists of two primary strategies: (1)
targeted capacity building assistance (CBA) to at least six youth-serving organizations
within two separate cohorts and (2) the establishment of a community of practice
focused on teen pregnancy prevention.
For its part, Contractor staff members will work directly with the two cohorts of youth-
serving organizations in the following: engaging the community in implementation of
evidence-based TPP programs, assessing community needs and resources, engaging in
a formal planning process like Getting to Outcomes, pilot testing evidence-based TPP
programs, replicating TPP programs with fidelity and quality, making program
adaptations, recruiting, engaging and retaining youth, ensuring that programs are
implemented in environments that are positive, safe, supportive and healthy,
establishing and maintaining linkages and referrals to youth-friendly health care and
social services, engaging in strategic dissemination and communication activities,
collecting and using performance measures to make continuous quality improvements,
and evaluating the implementation and success of program activities. Within this
process, the Contractor staff will serve as coaches and mentors and offer peer-to-peer
support.
3. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CONTRACTOR

determine if all previous goals and objectives were met, to determine progress
toward sustainable capacity, and to ensure the site is still in good standing. Time
objectives will be decided in the MOU.
E. PL will conduct the OAH Organizational Capacity Assessment with the
leadership of the agency initially and every six months after and an action plan
will be developed.
F. PL will assist each site in selecting an evidence based curriculum that is a good

G. By December 2015, PL will work in conjunction with MCDPH to organize
professional development trainings and curriculum trainings for each site.
