The New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) invests in a network of community-based organizations (CBOs) to alleviate the effects of poverty and to provide opportunities for New Yorkers and communities to flourish. DYCD's initiatives include COMPASS, the City's comprehensive afterschool system, Beacon Community Centers, adult and youth literacy programs, youth employment programs, services for runaway and homeless youth, community safety programs, and community development programs. DYCD also collaborates with other City agencies on a range of mayoral initiatives to improve City services and ensure greater opportunities for minority and immigrant youth and families. This role would be situated within the Bureau of Planning, Program Integration, and Evaluation (PPIE). PPIE was established to lead DYCD's efforts to transform the agency from three co-located organizations to one agency focused on providing an integrated network of neighborhood-based high-quality services to New Yorkers. PPIE's mission is to drive growth, impact, and innovation to make DYCD, its programs, and CBOs more effective. PPIE designs tools, builds processes and shapes policies to elevate the implementation of best practices and data-informed decision-making both internally and externally. PPIE supports continuous improvement through providing capacity building and training to DYCD staff and providers; analyzing and elevating data and community voices; increasing funding for innovation and expansion; and developing centralized approaches and systems to support a unified vision for DYCD. PPIE's core functions have evolved over time into five robust centers of excellence: Office of Analytics, Performance Management, and Reporting; Office of Capacity Building and Professional Development; Office of Planning, Program Design and Grant Development; Office of Evaluation; Office of System Integration. This role would oversee the program design and planning team and integration efforts within the Office of Planning, Program Design and Grant Development, which performs program and policy research to develop program models, agency-wide policies and best practices for DYCD based on stakeholder feedback, internal data, research, and evaluation.
