Request for Proposal: Strategic Plan Development

Summary

Frontlines is seeking to identify and select an independent, qualified consultant to develop a 3 year Strategic Plan.

About Frontlines

Started as a drop-in centre that focused primarily on music in Weston, a small community in Toronto Ontario, Frontlines now offers a variety of programs to hundreds of children and youth in surrounding communities, youth from across the Greater Toronto area and recently youth from across Canada. Our youth face a number of issues ranging from crime, poor educational systems, lack of youth engagement resources, child and youth hunger and poverty. Our programs and services serve six to 29 year olds and range from homework clubs to employment programs; all of Frontlines' programming serves as a building block for children and youth to feel valued, empowered, and create a greater sense of connection.

We believe in community and stay true to our core guiding principles. With almost 40 years of service in the community, we seek to sow seeds of greatness and excellence in all that we do. Please read more about our vision, mission and values here.

Scope of Service Required

Frontlines is seeking to identify and select an independent, qualified consultant to undertake the following tasks in collaboration with members of staff and the board:

  • Work with the Frontlines staff and board to design the collection and analysis of information and feedback on Frontlines' relevance and performance collected from each of the key stakeholder groups (examples of stakeholders include the funding partners, youth, parents of youth, board members, staff members, community partners, schools, facility providers, and leagues).
  • Facilitate strategic planning discussion with staff and board to assess and recommend updates to mission, vision, values and strategic outcomes.
  • Review practices in similar organizations across Canada. What are other organizations doing that we aren't? What are we doing that we shouldn't be? What trends are happening in youth-focused non-profits?

  • Provide a Strategic Plan implementation plan and scorecard (KPIs) based on current organizational capabilities and define year over year activities to meet the strategic plan outcomes that can be tracked by management and the Board.
