Multiple Task Award Contract (MTAC)
The King of Kings Foundation is New York City Department of Education vendor with a Multiple Task Award Contract (MTAC). MTAC allows NYC schools greater choice and flexibility in selecting vendors for the services they need. As a result, when a NYC school has a need for a specific service, the school sends an MTAC proposal request to the King of Kings Foundation. Among a number of offerings, The Kings of Kings Foundation proposed an abridged replication of its Positive Impact Movement (PIM) program, a comprehensive mentoring restorative model with a mission to change the cultural environment of "high need" youth by eliminating violent and destructive behavior in their schools and communities.
In addition, the King of Kings Foundation proposed a Violence Prevention/Student Safety Workshop designed to provide information about the causes of and various forms of violence among teenagers and help create a safe learning environment for students and staff. The workshops challenge negative myths and misconceptions many young people hold about who they are and their ability to achieve academically and provide opportunities for youth to demonstrate success.
