Consultant Opportunity:
Youth Achievement Center (YAC) Pre‑Development Project Manager
Community Passageways (CP) is pleased to invite qualified consultants to submit interest and qualifications to provide Pre‑Development Project Management services for the Youth Achievement Center (YAC).
About the Youth Achievement Center
The Youth Achievement Center (YAC) is a community‑informed real estate development project designed to offer transitional and affordable housing, program space, and supportive services for young adults. Grounded in restorative justice and shaped by youth voice, the YAC will serve as a safe, dignified space for healing, growth, and opportunity.
This is an atypical project — one that combines transitional housing, affordable housing, and direct services under one roof. The consultant will need to navigate that complexity, including researching comparable projects, understanding their funding structures and risks, and helping CP chart a path that fits this unique model.
About the Role
This is not a conventional project management engagement. CP is acting as a development client for the first time, and a significant part of this consultant's value will be guiding CP through an unfamiliar process — explaining decisions, building internal capacity, and ensuring CP can exercise informed judgment at each stage. The ideal candidate is as comfortable teaching and translating as they are managing timelines and budgets.
The consultant will represent CP's interests as client while coordinating closely with Africatown Community Land Trust (ACLT) as the development partner. This dual-entity structure requires someone skilled at navigating multi-party relationships, maintaining clear boundaries around decision authority, and ensuring CP's voice and interests are centered throughout.
Current Project Status
The YAC project is actively underway. At the time of this posting:
The selected consultant will help advance the project through feasibility, entitlement, funding strategy, and completion of the pre‑development phase so the project is fully positioned for construction.
Scope of Consulting Services
The YAC Pre‑Development Project Manager will oversee planning, coordination, and project preparation from visioning through feasibility and completion of the pre‑development phase. This consultant will serve as a key liaison between CP, ACLT, and all external partners including architects, engineers, funders, public agencies, and community stakeholders.
