B
All

and
means

the
record.
My

B
B
That's
bos

get

and

All
that
verbiage
is
just
the
names
of
all
the
dockets
that
have
been
filed
as
part
of
the
budget.
B
But
our
actual
focus
today
is
on
the
department
of
youth,
engagement
and
employment,
most
famous
for
its
work,
employing
our
young
people
over
the
summer
and
success
link
and
also
in
year-round
jobs
and
we're
glad
to
have
with
us
today.
Rashad
kope
the
commissioner
and
tierra
lyons
and
jeremy
as
well,
joining
us
but
well
before
I
turn
it
over

B

So

I

So
thank

of
public
and
in
the
meantime
I

or

to
the
floor.
D
Great
good
afternoon,
council
box,
thank
you
very
much
and
to
the
members
of
the
city
council.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
continue,
your
advocacy,
I'm
your
service,
and
certainly
your
tenacity
tenacity,
particularly
as
you
have
provided
pivotal
leadership
as
this
city
worked
towards
inequitable
recovery
from
covet
19,
so
our
constituents
are
grateful
for
your
service.
So
thank
you.
D
I
think
this
will
help
each
of
you
as
city
councilors,
envision
how
dye's
work
has
added
value
to
the
city
of
boston's,
collective
youth
services
that
lives
across
other
city
departments
such
as
bps
and
bcyf,
really
with
an
emphasis
on
our
standing
work
around
our
three
primary
areas,
that
is,
youth
employment,
career
skill,
development,
civic
engagement,
outreach
and
then
just
turn
it
back
over
to
you
for
any
questions.
After
my
remarks
and
I'll
have
some
members
on
my
team
be
able
to
jump
on
to
assist
with
answering
any
questions.
So
how
does
that
sound?.
D
D
One
of
those
moments
is
the
american
youth
policy
forum,
acronym
aypf,
which
is
a
national
professional
development
organization
that
provides
learning
opportunities
for
policy
leaders,
practitioners
and
researchers
working
on
education,
youth
and
workforce
policy
at
the
national
state
and
local
levels.
They
conducted
a
virtual
study
tour
that
was
titled
saving
summer
jobs.
D
D
Successing
summer,
youth
job
participants
participated
in
this
aypf
webinar.
The
goal
was
to
talk
about
key
lessons
that
I
will
learn
from
boston's
some
youth
employment
program
to
provide
guidance
to
other
cities
around
how
cities
can
replicate
boston's
youth
employment
efforts
and
to
elevate
youth
experiences
by
conducting
a
fireside
chat
with
two
summer
jobs
participants.
D
So
dye
was
able
to
to
have
the
incredible
engagement
and
participation
of
two
young
people.
Nancy
nguyen
and
joseph
vann
nancy
was
a
successful
participant
who
participated
in
the
learn
and
earn
program
which
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
which
you
guys
may
be
aware
of.
Also
was
a
youth
job
participating
with
artists
for
humanities
and
also
a
youth
ambassador
as
a
part
of
the
mayor's
youth
council
and
joseph
also
was
a
learning
earned
participant,
but
also
worked
at
the
ymca
and
the
bcyf
shelburne
community
center.
D
D
Bermuda
spoke
about
how
this
past
year
just
made,
so
many
people
finally
understand
how
different
demographics
of
people
have
been
systemically
disenfranchised
and
that
it
was
through
seeing
all
of
this
that
she
still
has
hope.
She
said
this
that
civic
engagement
is
how
we
solve
problems
if
you're
not
engaged,
then
it's
hard
to
solve
these
problems.
So
the
wisdom
of
this
young
person
is
amazing
and
then
the
last
is
in
this
piece.
D
Is
our
our
nyc
civic
engagement
committee
welcomed
over
50
or
so
attendees
to
join
the
civic
engagement
panel
discussion,
titled
youth,
exploring
crossroads
women
of
color
and
government
leadership?
We
have
the
honor
of
welcoming
chief,
aisha,
milla
city
council
outlaws
julia
mejia
and
the
interim
chief
of
economic
development
midori
morekawa.
D
Our
national
partners
want
to
hear
from
youth
our
local
partners
and
leaders
want
to
be
engaged
by
youth
and
our
youth
want
and
need
to
be
at
the
table.
So
we
do
see,
as
we
do
see
it
as
as
our
role
in
our
responsibility,
to
create
access
to
more
of
these
experiences,
whether
it
be
through
employment
opportunities
with
cbo's,
civic
engagement
or
just
elevating
youth
voice
and
youth
leadership,
and
this
just
leads
into
just
our
our
mission
and
then
I'll
kind
of
just
jump
into
the
rest
of
my
presentation
is.
D
Our
mission
is
very
simple:
we
we
continue
to
exist,
to
employ,
develop
and
engage
boston's
youth,
and
we
we
continue
to
do
this
by
amplifying
youth
voice
and
bridging
opportunities
for
personal
and
professional
growth
and
our
team.
Our
entire
team,
our
interns
included
envision
a
future
where
youth
are
educated,
equipped
and
empowered
to
transition
successfully
into
adulthood.
D
The
next
piece
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
is
just
the
the
dynamic
staff
we
just
have
a
team
of
caring
adults.
Our
team
is
major.
They
they
work
incredibly
hard
to
make
the
summer
and
school
year
happen
their
tireless
effort
and
commitment
to
our
work
and
to
boston.
Young
people
is
definitely
unmatched.
E
D
They
stepped
in
to
our
fast
pace,
work
and
hit
the
ground
with
leading
our
civic
engagement
efforts,
our
communication
efforts,
public
relations
and
new
strategies
to
engage
and
connect
partners
and
youth
in
our
operations.
Team
lavelle,
who
supports
operational
and
I.t,
needs
and
then,
most
importantly,
our
interns
who
are
closer
to
the
ground
than
any
of
our
ft
staff
and
they
really
serve
and
continue
to
serve
as
the
people
resource
and
the
workforce
to
implement
our
programs
and
services
and
to
move
our
work
from
ideas
to
action.
D
So
they
are
paramount
to
any
to
all
of
our
goals
and
any
success
we
achieve
and
then
a
quick
special
thank
you
to
to
our
fellow
city
departments
and
cabinets
who
have
been
awesome
partners
throughout
this
year.
So
that's
chief
martinez
and
mata
rivera
in
the
hhs
team,
tren
katie
and
larry
the
office
of
workforce
development,
team,
madur,
midori
crystal
the
economic
development
team,
pam
liens
and
the
bcf
team,
and
they
used
sofia
renato
and
the
moya
team
around
their
work
with
the
dreamers
fellowship.
D
So
with
that,
my
last
piece
here
is:
I
just
want
to
jump
into
our
program
accomplishments
and
then,
as
mentioned,
move
on
to
just
your
submitted
questions.
So
as
mentioned
earlier,
you
you
may
have
with
you
our
fiscal
year,
21
accomplishments
in
our
fiscal
year,
22
goals.
So
these
are
a
few
highlights,
I'm
actually
pulling
from
from
there.
D
So
we
we
do
know
that
with
our
youth
employment,
it
definitely
stands
at
the
center
of
fostering
social
growth
from
academic
aspirations
and
creating
pathways
towards
economic
sufficiency
for
youth
and
young
adults
that
we
serve
research
led
by
alicia
monastino.
Who
is
our
tremendous
northeastern
partner?
D
Abcd
pick
john
hancock,
white
and
wyou,
in
which
collectively
we
rallied
together
to
provide
a
pretty
successful
summer,
where
collectively
over
6
000
jobs
were
offered
to
young
people,
which
is
rather
impressive,
I
would
say
considering
the
circumstances
there
were
key.
There
were
seven
key
events
that
kind
of
led
to
our
coveted
19
recovery
process
for
dye.
D
There
were
summer
job
intermediary
planning
meetings.
There
was
two:
there
was
a
summer
jobs
partner
survey.
Three,
there
was
a
creation
of
summer
jobs
tracks,
which
you
guys
heard
about
last
year,
which
was
most
notably
the
learn
and
earn
post-secondary
track
where
young
people
were
engaged
in
credit
bearing
post-secondary
courses.
D
D
We
worked
collectively
with
ohr
to
revise
our
virtual
hiring
and
payroll
process,
which
was
incredible,
and
then
we
developed
a
youth
employment
guidance
document
and
then
just
further
with
our
successive
employment
program.
We
hired
3758
youth
who
participated
in
the
summer
program
just
through
dye
for
our
school
year
program.
We
hired
938
youth
who
participated
in
the
school
year
program.
This
was
a
24
increase
over
last
school
year,
which
we
we
saw
as
also
a
record
number
of
hires
at
755.
D
we
partner
with
roughly
about
200
partners.
These
are
non-profit
community-based
organizations
and
city
of
boston
agencies
who
designed
the
skill,
development,
career
exploration
and
work.
Readiness
experiences
for
the
young
people
that
participated
going
into
this
summer.
We've
restructured
our
success,
inc
employment
program
to
include
two
components
really
with
the
goal
of
strengthening
the
summer
jobs
program.
By
attempting
to
really
try
to
decentralize,
I
would
say
some
of
the
hiring
that
is,
the
successlink
direct
partnership
and
the
successing
grant
partnership.
D
D
So
with
this,
we
did
have
to
develop
a
revised
moa,
which
did
take
a
little
while
it
required
legal
approval
and
approval
from
the
auditing
folks
as
well.
So
we
designed
that
with
with
this
new
process
and
then
the
the
other
piece
of
our
employment
program.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
partnered
with
with
moya,
because,
although
we're
providing
employment
opportunities,
we
know
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
creating
equitable
access
to
opportunities
for
all
boston,
young
people.
D
So
we
partnered
with
hhs
and
moya
to
begin
to
think
about
how
do
we
provide
leadership
and
youth
development
opportunities
for
immigrant
youth?
So
that
is
also
an
initiative
that
we
are
pretty
excited
about,
that
we
piloted
last
summer
this
school
year
and
we're
looking
to
also
have
an
initiative
going
into
this
summer
as
well.
D
A
few
notable
highlights
here
is
boss
up,
which
is
the
the
name
of
one
of
our
career
development
programs.
We
developed
a
full
week
of
active
career
development
during
the
final
week
of
our
summer
employment
program,
where
we
provided
young
people
with
work,
readiness
experiences
that
they
can
carry
with
them
into
the
academic
year.
There
were
roughly
about
100
young
people
that
attended
mainly
about
70
young
people
a
day
there
were
25
hours
of
career
development
that
happened
during
this
week.
D
Young
people
were
connected
to
a
vast
network
of
professionals.
There
were
different
speakers
from
different
backgrounds
and
the
focus
was
on
mental
health.
It
was
on
leadership
skills,
it
was
on
post-secondary
options
and
it
was
on
career
tracks
and
then
another
exciting
development
for
our
career
development
team.
D
You
know
their
personality
type
and
a
potential
job
career
that
they
were
connected
to
and
then
executive
function
is
something
that
we've
talked
about
for
many
years
is
that
we
believe
it
is
incredibly
important
that
we
begin
to
think
about
how
to
support
young
people
with
executive
function
abilities.
So
we
did
develop
a
workshop
series
that
covered
mental
flexibility,
which
is
conversations
to
be
open-minded
about
different
opinions,
perspectives,
goal
setting
time
management
and
also
organization
skills.
D
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
highlights
of
our
career
development
work
and
then
the
last
area
of
our
work
is
our
civic
engagement
outreach,
our
civic
engagement,
outreach
work
was
intentional
and
it's
the
area
of
our
work
that
puts
that
puts
youth
at
the
front.
Our
mayor's
youth
council,
our
youth,
leads
to
change
our
mbta
youth
past
our
youth
first
resources
and
our
outreach
and
communication
are
all
designed
with
the
goal
of
active
participation
and
active
engagement
with
our
major
youth
council.
D
We
this
year,
we
converted
the
nyc
major
youth
council
to
a
virtual
youth,
civic
engagement
program,
which
was
due
to
cover
19,
but
also
we
experienced
many
benefits
of
a
virtual
nyc
program.
There
were
roughly
about
84
high
school
students,
as
you
have
here
that
were
engaged
and
participated
and
served
as
ambassadors
for
the
mayor's
youth
council.
D
We
work
to
develop
a
national
guide
on
how
to
create
a
youth
council
to
serve
as
a
resource
for
other
communities
that
were
seeking
to
increase
civic
engagement
and
within
our
mayor's
youth
council.
We
we
facilitated
the
development
of
eight
youth-led
impact
projects
that
were
aligned
with
each
of
our
committees,
so
that's
education,
arts
and
culture,
public
peace,
workforce
and
economic
development,
civic
engagement
and
climate
action,
civic
engagement
and
public
health
and
then
with
our
youth,
leads
the
change
this
year.
D
We
revamped
our
successing
web
page
to
reflect
the
new
success,
link,
direct
and
grant
partnership
opportunities.
This
was
really
aimed
at
you
know,
providing
a
you
know,
a
platform
that
was
intuitive
and
that
parents
and
young
people
can
can
easily
navigate
to
really
understand
the
steps
in
the
process.
So
if
you
guys
have
a
moment,
please
take
a
look
at
that.
We,
we
also
partnered,
with
with
the
city
of
boston's
black
employees
network,
to
host
our
annual
dream.
D
Chasers
showcase-
and
you
know
this
was
organized
by
young
people,
and
it
really
saw
nearly
150
community
members
attend,
and
this
was
youth
performances
focused
on
social
justice,
race
and
cultural
identity
and
a
panel
of
community
leaders,
and
this
was
incredibly
important,
especially
during
a
year
in
which
we
saw
a
lot
of
just
social
racial
unrest.
Among
the
events
that
happened
across
our
nation
and
then
our
major,
our
mbta
youth
pass
was
also
transitioned
into
a
virtual
service,
so
that
is
continuing.
D
We're
continuing
to
provide
young
people,
particularly
young
adults,
with
access
to
affordable
transit,
and
this
was
very
important.
Given
the
economic
impact
many
young
adults
may
have
experience
with
covet
boston
was
the
first
mbta
youth
pass
program
in
massachusetts
to
shift
to
a
virtual
model
to
continue
to
provide
young
people
with
these
affordable
transportation
options,
and
then
we
also
partner
with
the
mbta
to
provide
program,
eligibility
lists
in
seven
different
languages,
k,
verdian,
english,
haitian
creole,
cantonese,
mandarin
and
spanish.
D
D
We
we
partnered
with
the
mayor's
office
of
food
access
to
promote
the
the
mayor's
free
meal
sites
this
summer
as
well,
and
then
stay
at
home,
guys
to
engage
youth.
We
developed
that
as
well,
and
then
we
expanded
our
youth
first
database
to
include
emergency
services,
iep
programs
and
ged
programs
as
well,
and
then
the
last
piece
here
with
our
engagement
outreach
is
our
partner
engagement
effort,
which
was
new
this
year.
So
we
launched
our
first
ever
virtual
youth
jobs
fair.
So
it
was
more
like
a
an
employer
meet
and
greet.
D
It
was
a
platform
that
really
allowed
employers
to
engage
with
the
young
people
who
they
otherwise
would
not
be
able
to
meet
during
our
during
our
public
health
environment.
So
young
people
have
the
opportunity
to
be
in
a
virtual
environment
and
learn
about
the
summer
job
opportunities
that
were
being
offered
this
summer,
and
then
young
people
were
able
to
turn
around
and
apply
to
the
jobs
of
the
employers
that
they
met.
D
So
that
was
an
incredible
effort
that
our
engagement,
outreach
team
had
came
in
and
spearheaded
for
us
and
then
the
last
piece
here
and
then
we
can
jump
into
questions.
Is
the
department
of
youth
engagement?
Employment
was
announced
as
a
recipient
of
the
william
t.
Grant
institutional
challenge
grant
and
the
goal
of
that
grant
is
to
advance
the
work
of
reducing
inequality
among
young
people
through
summer
youth,
employment
by
creating
high
quality
workforce
development
experiences
and
preparing
youth
for
educational
career
pathways
into
adulthood.
D
So
this
is
a
three-year
grant
that
we
are
in
partnership
with
northeastern
university
and
again
alicia
montesino
is
the
lead
co-pi
on
this
grant.
So
we
will
be
working
with
them
over
the
next
three
years
to
really
build
a
focused
research
agenda
to
support
the
work
of
dye
in
our
efforts
to
build
a
more
inclusive
workforce
development
program
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
D
D
Our
employment
team
is
working
to
put
in
place
a
robust
process
that
will
aim
to
monitor
the
youth
and
their
partners,
who
are
expected
to
be
engaged
and
hired
directly
by
this
grant
model.
So
I
we
provided
a
breakdown
of
all
the
jobs
that
you
guys
asked
for,
so
you
should
have
that
information
with
you
as
well.
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much,
commissioner,
really
appreciate
the
presentation
and
again
all
the
information
you
guys
sent
over
so
I'll
now
go
per
usual
to
cancer
questions
and
I'll
reserve
mine
to
the
end.
So
first
up-
and
I
should
note
also
that
we
were
joined
shortly
after
the
commissioner-
started
speaking
about
counselor
lady
edwards
of
district
one.
So
we'll
start
with
councillor
campbell
and
then
it'll
be
brayden
asabi
george
flynn,
mejia
edwards,
and
I
will
shoot
you
all
a
text
to
that
list.
F
Thank
you,
council,
bach
and
rashad.
Of
course,
thank
you
for
just
your
work
and
excuse
me,
your
team
as
well,
really
appreciate
you
thanking
them,
because
none
of
us
does
this
work
by
ourselves.
So
I
know
my
office
is
continually
in
contact
with
yours,
but
also
want
to
lift
up.
I
hate
not
lift
up.
My
husband
says
what
does
that
mean?
F
I
also
want
to
recognize
the
the
work
that
you
do
to
think
outside
the
box
right
to
bring
in
resources
and
partnerships.
You
mentioned
northeastern.
These
don't
just
happen
by
accident.
These
are
partnerships
where
you're
going
out
into
community
to
expand
our
capacity
to
create
jobs,
opportunity,
mentorship,
civic
engagement,
a
breadth
and
range
of
not
just
employment
opportunities,
but
life
experiences
and
life
skill
development
for
young
people.
So
thank
you
for
the
work.
You
do
a
couple
of
questions.
One
is
obviously
with
the
pandemic
that
was
really
challenging.
F
You
guys
had
to
address
really
quickly
last
year.
What
does
the
summer
in
particular,
look
like
in
terms
of
the
range
of
opportunities,
any
federal
dollars?
Is
there
any
discussion
around
any
of
this?
Any
of
these
resources
coming
to
you
to
provide
greater
opportunity
another
in
addition
to
sort
of
partnership
expansion
this
summer,
what
you
see
it
looking
like
federal
dollars.
F
What's
our
reach
into
those
industries
which
are
vast
numerous
only
going
to
expand
over
time
with
respect
to
youth
employment
opportunities
and
then
my
last
question,
because
I'm
sure
there
might
be
a
gavel
at
some
point
to
stop
me
is:
where
do
you
see
the
greatest
gaps?
It
may
be
neighborhoods,
it
may
be
age
range.
It
may
be.
D
D
So
there
is
a
response
on
the
the
questions
from
the
counselors
that
we
worked
with
the
office
of
budget
management
to
share
around
just
how
city
funds
were
used
and
particularly
peers
at
funding.
We
did
receive,
cares,
act,
funding
last
summer,
council
campbell
and
that
that
cares
act.
Funding
was
used
to
help
us
create
those
four
tracks.
So
there
was
a
blue
shirts
track.
There
was
a
learn
and
earn
track.
D
There
was
a
peer-to-peer
track
and
there
was
a
virtual
track
and
then,
within
those
four
tracks
you
know
we
hired
some
some
career
coaches,
some
leaders,
not
just
young
people-
and
there
were
some
non-personnel
costs
there-
that
really
helped
us
and
contributed
to
the
success
that
we
experienced
last
summer.
So
that
cares
act.
Funding
was
instrumental.
D
You
know
in
you
know
what
the
city
of
boston
was
able
to
do
for
young
people
in
the
midst
of
a
very
intense
summer.
Last
summer
of
colvin
19.,
we
do
expect
to
have
some
federal
dollars
going
into
this
year
as
well,
which
is
helping
us
increase
the
number
of
jobs
that
we
are
offering
to
young
people.
D
Typically,
as
you
may
know,
we
offer
between
3
300
jobs
on
you
know,
on
a
regular
on
a
normal
year
within
a
normal
year
before
covid,
but
the
additional
federal
dollars
has
allowed
on
the
city
of
boston,
to
be
intentional,
about
providing
additional
resources
to
our
department
to
help
support
and
provide
more
opportunities
to
young
people.
So
that
was
a
response
to
the
first
question.
D
D
We
have
not
ventured
into
private
sector
because
a
lot
of
our
city
dollars
are
being
actually
used
to
provide
youth
wages,
the
the
private
industry
council.
They
are
continuing
to
do
amazing
work
partnering
with
the
private
sector
companies.
You
know
they
typically
provide
3,
000
or
so
jobs
to
young
people
within
the
private
sector.
D
I
am
not
quite
sure
if
they
have
partnerships
in
the
biotech
industries,
but
I
do
think
that
you
know,
as
that
becomes
in
emerging
area.
It
is
something
that
we
can.
I
can
go
back
to
neil
sullivan
and
those
folks
and
ask:
are
they
having
conversations
I'm
in
that
space
and
then
collectively
we
as
a
city
of
boston,
do
need
to
figure
out
how
we
can
make
sure
that
young
people
are
being
prepared
for
jobs
in
that
area,
because
those
are
future
job
opportunities.
D
D
And
and
then
the
last
question
was
around
any
gaps,
so
we
we
are.
We
just
got
approved
to
hire
a
data,
research
and
evaluation
coordinator
for
our
department,
council
campbell
and
that
role
is
going
to
be
really
really
important
for
us
to
really
help
not
only
just
collect
data
but
help
us
analyze
the
data
that
we
already
collect.
D
So
I
would
say
that
we
collect
demographic
data
that
can
help
help
us
inform
what
gaps
exist.
Alicia
monastino,
you
know
her
her
pre
and
post
survey
data
did
help
us
identify
some
gaps
in
the
types
of
job,
the
types
of
young
people
that
are
actually
apply
for
jobs
and
then
the
types
of
young
people
that
actually
get
those
jobs
and
where
there
could
be.
You
know
just
some.
You
know
some
discrepancies
or
some
levels
of
of
inequality,
I'm
there.
D
F
F
D
Yeah,
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
Council
campbell,
the
youth
works
funding
is,
and
I
think
we
do
have
a
separate
youth
works
hearing.
That's
typically
called
mainly,
I
think,
around
september
after
the
after
we
use
youth
works
funding
to
implement
the
program,
but
youth
works
funding
is
geared
towards
proven
issues,
so
those
are
court
gang
involved,
youth,
those
are
homeless,
youth,
those
youth
with
disabilities.
D
D
There
are
some
out
of
school,
some
young
people
who
are
out
of
school
that
do
apply
to
successfully
and
if
they
self-identify
with
one
of
those
risk
barriers,
then
we
do
include
them
as
a
part
of
our
youth
works
on
program.
I
think
that
we
can
be
more
intentional
about
special
populations
like
homeless
youth.
D
I
know
that
there
is
a
partnership
that
we
have
this
year,
which
is
with
break
time.
They
they
are.
They
directly
target
that
you
know
that
young
adult
homeless
youth
population,
so
I
think
it
will
be
interesting
for
us
to
continue
to
explore.
Well,
first,
learn
more
about
the
the
demographics
that
all
of
our
partners
serve
again.
We
do
collect
that
information,
but
because
we
have
nearly
100
or
so
partners.
F
Well,
anything
I
can
do
to
continue
to
support
you,
rashad
you
and
your
team
on
the
gaps.
Let
me
know,
including
anything
related
to
possibly
pulling,
of
course,
more
resources
from
general
funds,
because
some
of
these
monies
are
so
restricted
but
appreciate
your
leadership
as
always
in
the
work
your
team
has
done.
Thank
you,
council
bach,.
B
G
G
I
I
just
opened
up
the
responses
to
all
the
questions
that
we
sent
in
as
well
one
one
area
of
my
background
and
that
background
in
special
education
as
a
physical
therapist-
and
I
just
wonder,
are
there?
Is
there
a
particular
segment
of
the
summer
jobs
program
that
would
find
placement
for
young
people
who
maybe
have
a
disability?
Are
there
any
opportunities
for
those
children,
young
people.
D
You
know
that
we,
the
additional
partnerships
that
we
can
begin
to
explore.
So
those
conversations
have
happened.
I
think
that
we
we
do
need
to
spend
more
time
having
more
of
those
conversations
and
identifying
more
partnerships
with
organizations
that
serve
youth
with
disabilities.
But,
yes,
there
is
a
partnership
that
does
exist.
You
know,
I
think
we
can
do
more
work
to
identify
a
few
more
partners
to
create
more
opportunities.
G
Yeah,
especially
for
young
people
who
are
transitioning
out
of
you
know
in
the
run-up
the
few
years
prior
to
transitioning
out
of
the
school
system.
It's
it's
really
useful
to
have
some
job
experience,
to
build
up
your
your
resume
for
future
employment
placements
and
or
whatever.
So
I
think
it's
it's
a
valuable
piece
to
think
about.
The
other
issue
was
in
relation
to
parks.
I
know
last
year
was
an
a
very
challenging
year.
We
have
we
in
our
parks
department.
D
D
D
One
of
the
responses
I
included
in
in
the
questions
is
that
you
know
it
was,
on
our
end
to
circle
back
around
with
parks
to
see
about
their
interests
and
continuing
to
provide
a
blue
shirts
initiative.
Again,
it
was
something
that
they,
just
you
know,
did
last
summer
as
well.
It
wasn't
a
standing
part
of
their
summer,
jobs
as
well
so
yeah.
So
I
think
it's
just
on
us
to
have
that
conversation
figure
out.
D
If
that's
something
that
we
all
feel
you
know
is
beneficial
to
continue
to
have
going
into
this
summer,
but
it
wasn't
focused
primarily
on
green
spaces.
I
think
if
we,
if
we
shift
the
focus
of
it
and
be
more
intentional,
about
just
being
a
pathway
into
green
jobs,
I
think,
if
that's
what
you're
asking
then
I
think
yes,
we
can
you
know
we
can
have
that
conversation
as
well.
H
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
rasheed.
Thank
you
for
that
presentation.
You
provided
was
very
helpful,
very,
very
informative,
informative.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
and
your
team
for
the
work
you
guys
are
doing,
especially
over
this
difficult,
a
difficult
period
of
engaging
our
young
people
with
employment
and
training
opportunities.
So
just
wanted
to
let
you,
your
staff,
know
that
they're
doing
they're
doing
a
very
good
job
rasheed,
and
I
was
also
happy
to
hear
about
the
outreach
you're
doing
with
asian
you.
H
D
Yeah,
so
I
think
so,
two
things
so
the
the
partnership
with
moya
council
flynn,
the
mayor's
office
of
immigrant
advancement,
is
the
the
partnership
that
I
was
mentioning
in
which
we
are
providing
leadership.
Development
opportunities
for
immigrant
youth,
so
moya
has
a
host
of
immigrant
serving
organizations
that
they
partner
with
that
attend
some
of
their
normal
meetings
that
they
have
monthly,
that
they
have
relationships
with
so
yusofi
and
renato,
and
that
team
is
really
amazing
in
the
on
the
ground.
D
Work
that
they're
doing
particularly
in
those
communities,
so
they
so
this
gap
around
providing
opportunities
to
immigrant
youth
was
identified
a
few
years
ago,
and
then
you
know
we're
we're
very
thankful
for
marta
and
yousefi
and
renato
for
their
leadership
and
say:
hey,
hey
dye.
We
know
that
this
is
a
lot
going
on,
but
we
are
very,
very
committed
to
working,
alongside
of
you
to
begin
to
create
more
of
these
opportunities.
So
that
is
something
you
know
that
we
have
done.
D
There
is
a
list
of
all
of
our
all
of
our
community-based
organizations.
I'm
linked
to
the
questions
here.
There
are
a
number
of
asian
serving
organizations
that
we
partner
with
so
we've
shared.
We've
done
some
outreach
to
those
organizations,
particularly
in
the
chinatown
area,
so
we
have
and
then
we've
done,
outreach
at
bps
and
and
just
generally
you
know
our
social
media.
So
that's
where
the
outreach
is
done.
D
H
B
I
No
thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
hard
work.
You
know
that
all
things
young
people
is
near
and
dear
to
me,
so
I
really
do
appreciate
your
hard
work.
I
only
have
a
few
questions.
I
just
kind
of
want
to
follow
up
on
some
of
the
questions
that
we
heard
around
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
students
and
I'm
just
curious.
I
I
D
Councilman
here
all
of
those
are
great
great
questions,
very
great
questions.
So
I'll
start
with
the
first
question
about
the
immigrant
population,
so
I'm
gonna
jump
back
to
kind
of
like
the
response
I
provided
to
council
flynn,
which
is
highlighting
the
the
dreamers
fellowship,
which
is
the
partnership
that
we
do
have
with
the
mayor's
office
of
immigrant
advancement.
D
That
fellowship
was
really
designed
to
do
exactly.
What
you
just
mentioned
is
to
create
opportunities,
leadership,
opportunities
for
immigrant
youth
and
parents
that
have
children
who
are
immigrant
youth,
and
you
know
that
program
is
designed.
Similarly,
like
our
summer
jobs
program
in
which
it
provides,
you
know,
hours
of
skill,
development,
leadership,
development
and
work,
readiness
for
that
population.
D
That
was
we
piloted
that
initiative
summer
2020
and
then
it
was
so
sick
for
about
50,
immigrant
youth,
and
then
we
we,
I
think,
we've
we
had
another
program
that
we
ran
during
this
past
during
this
current
school
year.
It's
actually
still
running
for
a
hundred
immigrant
youth,
and
then
we
are
also
looking
to
provide
that
same
program
this
summer
for
200,
immigrant
youth.
D
So
we
were
from
50
to
100
to
200
scaling
that
program
up,
because
we
know
that
that
that
population,
that
immigrant
population
is
a
program
that
needs
access
to
more
services,
and
I
can
share
more
information
with
you
on.
You
know
about
just
some
of
the
outcomes
and
who
the
actual
partner
is.
We
do
have
a
program
administrator
who
was
the
same
program
administrator
last
summer
and
and
this
in
this
current
school
year.
I
Learning
and
how
we're
going
to
balance
I've
heard
from
some
folks
already
who
were
concerned
that
remote
learning
main
I
mean
remote
jobs
may
not
be
readily
available
this
summer.
Can
you
just
confirm
that,
and
if
so,
are
you
all
considering
some
sort
of
hybrid
to
allow
students
who
still
feel
unsafe
to
return
back
into
the
workforce.
D
Yes,
great
question
so
I'll
answer
that
two
ways,
so
one
is
one
of
the
tracks
that
we
designed
last
summer,
which
was
the
learn
and
earn
track,
which
is
an
initiative
that
we
are
providing
again
this
summer.
That
is
largely
virtual,
in
which
young
people
are
actually
taking
college
credit,
bearing
courses
right
so
and
then
there
also
may
be
a
hybrid
component
in
which
they
may
visit
a
college
or
so
so
that
is
considered
as
a
job
opportunity.
D
We
have
about
a
hundred
and
sixty
or
so
partners,
council
mejia
and
when
we
ask
our
partners
to
design
the
job
responsibilities
this
summer.
We
also
asked
our
partners
to
communicate
to
us
whether
that
job
opportunity
is
going
to
be
hybrid
in
person
or
or
fully
virtual.
So
we
do
have
a
list
of,
and
I'm
not
sure
if
we
included
that
information
on
any
of
the
spreadsheets
that
we
provided
to.
You
guys,
I
think,
tara,
who
put
pulled
together
the
spreadsheet.
D
She
can
probably
answer
that
question
better,
but
we
do
anticipate
that
most
of
our
partner
organizations
will
provide
some
variation
of
a
hybrid
opportunity.
Now
that
restrictions
you
know,
are
being
removed
when
we
ask
our
partners
for
that
information.
Council
mejia.
This
was
probably
back
in
january
when
we
did
not
know
whether
or
not
you
know
there
were
going
to
be
restrictions
still
in
place
this
summer.
D
D
Now
that
the
restrictions
are
being
removed,
they
may
they're,
probably
rethinking
you,
know
their
program
strategy
and
say
hey
well,
we
might
want
to
provide
hybrid.
Maybe
so
I
think
that's
something
we're
gonna
just
continue
to
monitor,
because
I
think
it's
just
because
everything
happens
so
quickly.
It's
just
hard
for
us
to
know
like
everyone's
plans
and
how
everyone
is
shifting.
I
D
Sure
so,
in
terms
of
students
aging
out
of
success
link,
I
don't
think
that
we
have
a
plan
in
place
for
long-term
success.
I
think
that
we
have
our
career
development
programs
that
offers
just
you
know,
skill
development
and
readiness.
So
I
think
it's
just
that.
It's
us
being
more
intentional
about
measuring.
You
know
the
impact
of
those
career
development
opportunities
and
making
sure
that
young
people
are
equipped
as
they're
transitioning
out
of
our
programs
and
into
the
workforce
and
into
future
career
opportunities.
Yeah.
I
And
I
would
just
add
that,
as
we
start
thinking
about
a
plan
that
I
think
workforce
development
is
well
suited
to
kind
of
create
that
pipeline,
and
I
would
suggest
that
perhaps
we
we
explored
this
a
little
bit
further,
because
that
is
the
most
dangerous
age.
And
if
we're
not
setting
up
our
students
who
are
25
and
over,
then
you
know
we
we
lose
out.
J
K
Thank
you
very
much.
I
echo
the
comments
of
my
colleagues
really
congratulating
you
all
on
rising
to
the
occasion
on
so
many
levels
this
past
year,
and
my
questions
really
are
just
really
more
update
questions.
I'm
I'm
really
proud
of
the
work
you've
done,
and
I
do.
I
do
think
that
in
many
cases
and
seeing
that
200
immigrant
jobs,
immigrant
youth
jobs,
being
part
of
this
conversation
is
an
indication
that
you
heard
a
lot
of
what
we
were
saying
last
year
and
the
years
before.
So
I
do.
D
K
K
Councilmember
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
youth
that
are
aging
out
in
general,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
kids
who
are
aging
out
of
bps
at
older
ages,
21
22
due
to
special
needs,
and-
and
how
do
you
incorporate
some
of
our
youth
that
are,
I
wouldn't
developing
differently,
is
what
I'll
say
and
are
also
in
need
of
the
soft
skill
sets
and
being
able
to
move
into
workplaces
and
to
adjust
and
to
learn
how
to
rise.
The
occasion
how
how
do
you
incorporate
that
youth.
D
Yeah,
I
can
just
use
the
the
boston
day
and
evening
academy
partnership
as
an
example,
because
they
work
with
a
similar
population,
council,
edwards
so
boston,
day
and
evening
academy.
They
have
designed,
you
know
a
program
to
make
sure
that
it's
intentional
with
supporting
the
population
that
they
serve.
D
So
we
have
worked
with
boston
data,
even
academy
to
ensure
that,
even
though
they
have
aged
they're
older
than
18,
we
are
making
sure
that
we're
able
to
still
include
them
as
a
part
of
the
employment
program
so
that
they
can
still
receive
wages
but
boston
day
and
evening
academy
is
designing
the
actual
program
for
their
participants,
and
I
think
most
of
our
partners
design
the
experience
and
then
they
partner
with
us
as
the
city
to
to
employ
their
young
people,
or
in
this
case
their
young
adults.
So.
K
D
D
So
my
response
to
counseling
reading
was
the
partnership
we
have
with
strive
at
bps
that
works
with
students
with
disability.
So
we
they,
we,
we
do
partner
with
them
and
they
employ
nearly
about
ontario
can
give
me
the
exact
number
between
150
and
200
young
people.
Students
with
disabilities
and
again
strive
creates
those
type
of
opportunities
for
them
and
they
partner
with
us
to
make
sure
that
we
can
support
them
from
the
employment
end.
K
Well,
not
wanting
you
to
repeat
what
you
said
to
the
great
questions
for
council
braden
I'll
only
ask
if
boston
center
for
independent
living
is
also
one
of
the
non-profit.
You
mentioned
you
work
with
non-profits,
so
they
have
a
wonderful
pipeline
and
you
know
their
entire
focus
and
mission
is
to
make
sure
people
live,
independent,
vibrant
lives
and
they
have
some
youth,
internship
programs
and
opportunities.
K
I
would
encourage
you
to
work
with
them
in
the
future
to
to
see
if
there's
a
way
to
pipeline
and
marry
some
great
work,
because
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
them.
I
was
on
the
board
and
what
they
they
really
are
about
real
jobs
for
folks
with
disabilities
and
making
sure
they're
integrated
switching
over
then
to
another
theme,
and
again
I
apologize
to
my
colleagues
if
you've
already
discussed
screen
jobs
and
youth
and
oh
good,
we
have
not.
Could
you
talk
to
me
a
little
bit
about
that?
K
I
know
in
charlestown
we
were
looking
at
working
on
a
I'm
building
on
already
the
good
work
of
counselor
bach
and
a
youth
corps,
but
specifically
having
to
do
with
the
boston,
housing
authority
and
the
green
tree
conversation.
So
could
you
talk
to
me
about
how
you
are
using
environmental
stewardship
and
our
youth
and
bringing
the
two
together.
D
Counselor
edwards
was
an
exploratory
conversation,
so
it
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
learn
more
about
their
efforts
around
you
know
green
jobs
and
how
we
can
begin
to
think
about
including
young
people
in
those
opportunities,
and
then
it
was
also
for
the
folks
at
the
environment
department
to
learn
more
about
our
department
and
success
inc
and
our
jobs
we
provide.
So
I
would
say
that
we
are
beginning
to
have
conversations
in
that
space.
I
cannot
say
that
there
are
currently
jobs
that
exist.
We
do
have
a
few
partners.
J
K
K
D
K
Wonderful,
well
I
I'm
gonna.
I
have
no!
Actually
I'm
really
excited
for
the
work
that
you're
doing.
I
would
only
I'll
follow
up
with,
hopefully
connecting
you
and
working
with
you
to
get
more
organizations
that
work
with
folks
who
have
some
disability,
but
other
than
that.
I'm
really
excited
to
see
how
much
this
has
grown,
and
I
thank
you
for
your
incredibly
detailed
presentation.
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
I'll
jump
to
my
questions
and
then,
if
council
colleagues
have
a
second
round,
I'm
happy
to
go
to
them.
I'll,
just
say.
First
of
all,
just
pick
up
where
counselor
edwards
left
off
thrilled
to
hear
that
you've
already
sat
with
environment
when
we
had
them
at
their
hearing.
One
of
the
things
that
I
raised
was
hoping
that
they
would
work
with
you
guys,
because
I
think
you
know
they've
got
this
million
dollars
for
green
jobs.
As
you
know,
and
you
know,
I
think,
there's
a
piece
of
that.
C
A
B
The
way
that
they
could
spend
some
money
this
year
on
that
that
sort
of
builds
us
towards
a
bigger
thing
and
I'm
all
for
counselor
edwards.
Having
heard
200,
you
know
jobs
for
well,
I
don't
know
how
many
counselor
edwards
you're
aiming
for,
but
you
know
some
real,
some
real
jobs
at
bha
for
young
people.
Thinking
about
our
trees,
because
I
think,
as
we
build
urban
forestry,
we
want
that
and
we
want.
We.
B
Opportunities
reaching
right
down
into
our
housing
developments.
I
think
that's
super
important,
so
I'll
just
I'll
just
do
a
big
echo
of
her
on
that
and
then
and
just
thank
you
again
for
you
know,
we.
My
office
specifically
asked
a
lot
of
detailed
questions,
so
we
really
appreciate
you
guys
sending
all
these
answers
and
really
excited
about
the
two
new
jobs,
the
two
new
like
roles
in
your
office.
I
think
you
know
we've
we've
talked
a
lot
about.
I
mean
it's
funny
right.
B
You
know
we
talked
about
the
fact
that
I
think
the
grants
thing
is
is
thrilling
right,
the
fact
that
we're
finally
getting
there,
because
it
does
open
up
the
possibility
to
provide
youth
to
like
jobs
to
our
dreamers.
It
opens
up
the
possibility
to
just
help
some
some
organizations
that
have
the
ability
to
run
payroll
and
stuff,
not.
A
B
B
Director
is
going
to
enable
you
to
do
more
of
that
and,
and
I'm
really
excited
about
the
data
evaluation
piece
I
mean.
Obviously
I
hope
that
we'll
do
data
evaluation
and
then
we'll
take
that
next
step,
where
we
implement
things
that
we
learn
from
the
data
evaluation.
That's
always
the
trick
of
it,
but
we
got
to
do
the
evaluation
first
and
sorry,
can
you
I
think
I
slightly
missed
rashad,
the
the
innovation
grant.
I
forgot
the
name
of
it
was
named
after
foundation,
but
the
foundation
that
just
gave
you
a
big
grant.
D
D
You
know
where
all
the
jobs
are
at
and
then
help
us
really
think
about.
How
do
we
make
quality
improvement
to
our
youth
jobs
program?
So
whether
this
is
us
tiering
jobs?
Whether
this
is
us
thinking
about
a
badging
process
in
which
we
can
provide
badges?
You
know
based
on
the
type
of
participation,
so
so
yeah.
So
that's
what
I
can
send
you.
You
know
more
information
about
the
actual
grant
itself
in
all
of
the
various
components.
D
D
Yeah
so
that
so
they'll
be
working
collectively.
So
I
think,
if
you
think
about,
if
you
think
about
like
yee,
our
internal
person
will
help
us
really
just
synthesize
all
the
data
that
we're
currently
collecting
and
work
in
collaboration
with
alicia,
to
make
sure
we're
sharing
all
the
data
that
she
needs
to
help
us
to
help
her
develop
that
research
agenda
and
that
research
plan
for
our
office.
D
B
Yeah,
no,
that
that
definitely
helps
yeah.
I
was
just
trying
to
think
through
how
the
labor
was
being
distributed.
Yeah,
no,
that's
that's
helpful
and-
and
I
guess,
but
one
thing
I
would
flag,
is
you
know
we?
Obviously
you
know
we
frequently
hear
from
lots
of
youth
advocates
about
they're
the
same
things
you
hear
right.
Like
you
just
mentioned
the
idea
of
tiering
jobs
right
like?
Is
there
an
opportunity
for
us
to
have
some
some?
You
know,
classifications
of
jobs
that
have
more
responsibility
that
pay
higher
wages
to
our
older
young
people.
B
B
I
I
wonder
if,
but
I
think
I
I
think
I
would
advocate
that
before
sort
of
like
the
evaluation
design
is
totally
set
in
stone
that
maybe
you
know
that,
and
maybe
it's
the
external
university
team
has
this
meeting.
Maybe
it's
you
and
them,
and
but
like
basically
there'd,
be
some
kind
of
meeting
with
advocates
to
be
like.
So
what
are
the
things
because
I
feel
like
if
people
are
going
to
study
you
know
what
makes
the
difference?
What
are
the
questions
we
want
to
ask?
It
would
be.
B
It
would
be
logical
to
make
sure
that
some
of
the
inputs
into
that
are.
You
know
our
youth
advocate
community,
our
partner
community,
I'm
just
thinking
about
you
know,
there's
nothing
worse
than
doing
a
like,
really
detailed,
thoughtful
study
and
coming
out
the
other
end
and
realizing
that,
like
you,
didn't
ask
the
questions,
people
thought
you
were
gonna
ask
right.
Yeah.
D
I
think
that
that's
definitely
a
great
point.
We
did
have
plans
to
to
include
partners.
I
think
that
we
also
can
think
about
the
youth
advocates
as
well,
but
we
definitely
have
discussed
ways
to
engage
partners
and
get
partner
feedback
to
help
inform
the
process.
So
I
can.
I
can
also
just
think
about
how
do
we
include
the
advocates
who
might
not
be
partners
right?
You
know
to
have
their
voice
on
be
a
part
of
this
as
well.
So
definitely
a
great
point.
Yeah.
B
B
In
ahead,
so
I
would,
I
think
that
would
be
great
if
you
guys
would
do
that
and
then-
and
just
so
I'm
clear
how
many
I
know
I
got
the
I
got
the
spreadsheet,
but
I
didn't
see
a
sort
of
sum
number
how
many
jobs
did
we
end
up?
Having
last
summer
I
mean,
I
know
we
funded
5
000,
but
what
are
we?
Where
do
we
land?
When
all
was
said
and
done
in
the
summer.
B
B
L
B
A
B
C
D
Hey
tara,
did
you
want
to
give
a
response
to
that,
because
I
think
that's
so
when
I
spoke
with
council
black
when
I
spoke
with
tiara.
Tara,
obviously,
is
our
you
know
systems
person
and
that
manages
our
our
youth
jobs
process
and
she
would
just
explain
to
me
where
all
the
data
lives
like
all
of
that
data
lives
in
so
many
different
places.
So
tear
do
you
want
to
just
give
a
quick
response
to
that.
That
might
be
helpful.
J
J
That's
correct,
that's
correct!
They
should
actually
absolutely
be
able
to
pull
it.
I
think
the
extent
of
what
we
would
be
able
to
provide
is
just
a
full
listing
of
all
the
young
people
who
were
hired
to
the
3784
and
then
what
each
of
their
effective
dates
are
so
we'd
be
able
to
tell
you
when
they
were
hired
in
the
summer,
got
it
because
the
effective
date
is
always
whatever
the
sat
whatever
the
saturday
is
prior
to
the
monday
when
they
start
so
we
can.
B
Yeah
no
and
I'm
happy
to
push
that
question
their
way.
I
mean
yeah,
as
you
know
like
I,
I
mean
this
is
really
in
some
ways.
It's
me
trying
to
help
agitate
on
behalf
of
ye.
I
know
you
guys
have
done
a
ton
of
work
with
the
city
departments
around
the
process
stuff
and
like
trying
to
smooth
that
process.
But
we
all
know
and
and
getting
a
thousand
young
people
right
into
the
grants
program
will
help,
but
we're
still
talking
about
4
000
folks
who
for
anybody
watching
at
home.
B
Basically
the
way
that
we
hire
most
of
the
youth
for
the
summer
is
we
make
them
city
of
boston
employees,
and
that
means
that
they
go
they
get
processed
through
city
of
boston,
hr,
which
understandably,
doesn't
usually
process
a
wave
of
4
000
people
with
the
same
rough
start
time.
So
yes,
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
kind
of
what
that
exactly
like
you
said
here,
what
that
capacity
gap
is-
and
it's
not
really
to
give
you
guys
a
hard
time,
it's
just
to
try
to
think
about.
What's
the?
B
What
should
our
targets
be
when
we
think
about
what
a
better
process
looks
like
like
to
me?
It's
you
know
more
young
people
getting
hired
earlier
and
I
do
think
that's
like
a
it's
an
all.
It's
an
all
department's
process.
It
shouldn't
just
fall
on
you
guys
because
there's
a
lot
of
folks
who
touch
those
those
files
before
they
become
employees
so
yeah.
C
B
So
I'll
definitely
ask
you
it
about
it
later
this
week,
but
I
just
yeah
would
just
underscore
my
my
interest
in
that,
but
the
alarm
went
off
on
me
earlier,
so
I
I
may
come
back
to
a
couple
more
questions,
but
I
want
to
first
check
whether
any
of
my
colleagues
have
follow-up
questions
and
I
already
see
counselor
braden's
hand
up.
So
I'm
going
to
go.
C
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
want
to
get
another
another
bite
at
the
cherry
here:
youth
jobs
in
austin,
brighton.
I
I
looked
through
the
wonderful
spreadsheet.
You
gave
us
there's
two
locations,
bcyf
jackson,
man
take
20,
or
this
isn't
for
this
year
and
tenacity
which
is
based
in
austin
brighton,
but
has
young
people
who
have
you
know
they
take
on
students
from
all
over
the
city
and
they
do
they
run
their
programs
all
over
the
city
over
the
summer
they
take
on
65.
G
G
We've
had
some
conversations
about.
You
know
our
young
people
living
at
commonwealth
housing
and
at
faneuil
gardens
about
programming
for
young
people,
and
then
I
look
at
these
numbers
and
think
we're
not
we're
not
we're
not
doing
well
enough.
I
don't
think
in
in
identifying
potential
youth
jobs
in
the
in
austin
brighton.
So
that's
just
made
me
at
first
blush
just
looking
at
these
numbers
and
if
you
could
enlighten
me
or
help
me
think,
maybe
we
need
to
work
together
to
try
and
identify
more
employers
and
also
brighton.
D
Yep
council
of
reading,
I
would
say
it's
just
that
I
would
say
it's
working
together
to
identify
more
partners
that
we
can
collaborate
with
and
work
with,
to
provide
job
opportunities
for
young
people
in
the
olsen
brighton
area.
I
think
the
two
that
you
named
have
been
standing
partners
for
many
many
years,
but
I'm
sure
there
are
other
youth
serving
organizations
or
agencies
in
the
austin
brighton
area
that
may
provide
programming
to
young
people.
D
So
if
we
can
work
with
you,
if
that's
your
area,
if
we
can
work
with
you
to,
you
know,
learn
more
about
the
partners
and
organizations
in
that
area.
Then
I
think
on
our
end,
we
can,
you
know
just
share
with
them
more
about
our
program.
We
can
have
a.
We
can
schedule
a
meeting
with
them
so
that
we
can
learn
more
about
their
organization.
They
can
learn
more
about.
You
know
the
work
that
we
do
here
at
the
city
and
then
think
about
ways
in
which
we
can
partner.
G
Yeah,
it
seems
like
it
seems
like
an
area
where
we
need
to
do
some
more
work,
and
I
appreciate
your
willingness
to
engage
and
just
in
terms
of
outreach
to
to
potential
partners
like
what
what
is
the?
What
is
that
outreach?
What
does
that,
if
you're,
looking
at
like
austin
brighton,
where
there's
a
very
we've,
got
two
the
bcyf
and
tenacity
long-term
partners?
How
do
you
reach
out
and
identify
new
partners.
D
Yeah,
so
the
way
that
we've
identified
partners
is
a
few
different
ways
so,
prior
to
the
pandemic,
we
would
actually
have
you
know
just
a.
I
forgot
what
we
call
it,
but
it
was
a.
It
was
an
event
in
which
we
welcomed
any
new
prospective
partners
that
were
interested
in
employing
young
people,
so
we
would
send
just
general
emails
out
to
our
list
serves,
and
we
would
you
know,
just
you
know,
send
emails
out
to
you
know
our
our
partners.
D
You
know
just
the
schools
mbta
and
we
just
let
folks
know
that
we
are
interested
in
just
learning.
You
know
more
about
just
various
partnerships,
so
that's
typically
how
we
have
conducted
outreach
new
partners.
We
have
also
just
identified
just
organizations
who
are
not
partners
with
us
and
really
just
share
our
newsletters
and
just
share
more
information.
D
You
know
with
those
partner
organizations
about
our
work
and
then
what
I
mean
by
organizations
who
are
not
partnered
with
us
is
organizations
who
are
registered
as
nonprofit
501c3s
in
the
city
of
boston.
We
have
pulled
that
data
and
then
we
have
shared
information
about
our
work
and
our
department.
You
know
with
those
organizations
who
are
registered
501c3s,
but
are
not
partners
with
us,
and
then
jeremy
jeremy
might
be
on.
D
Jeremy
has
come
into
our
role
to
help
us
think
more
about
ways
in
which
we
are
expanding
our
reach
to
new
partner
organizations.
So
if
you
don't
mind
council
block
and
counts
of
breeding,
I
could
have
just
jeremy
jump
in
very
quickly
just
to
share
some
of
the
ideas
that
we
discuss
about
reaching
out
potentially
to
new
partners.
N
N
We've
done
a
lot
of
conversations
around
partner
engagement
and
I
would
say,
with
a
focus
on
thinking
about
how
we're
creating
and
building
partnerships
with
community-based
organizations
that
are
year-round
and
extend
even
beyond
simply
the
success
link
partnership,
but
also
ensuring
that
community-based
organizations
have
access
to
all
of
our
resources
for
young
people
in
an
annual
and
an
annual
basis.
So
whether
it's
mbta
youth
pass,
whether
it's
representatives
on
nyc
and
ylc,
and
I
think
one
of
the
ways
we're
going
to
do.
N
That
is
there's
two
there's
two
styles,
one
is
in
person
and
going
out
into
the
community
and
going
to
community
centers
and
going
to
nonprofits
and
youth
programs
and
meeting
with
people
through
intentional
engagement
and
recruitment
and
conversations
and
the
other
is
utilizing.
Our
current
existing
partner
network,
as
rashad,
talked
about
in
creating
both
virtual
and
in-person
opportunities
for
partners
that
might
be
interested
in
any
of
the
resources
to
learn
more
about
how
they
can
get
engaged
in
the
youth,
lead.
N
Link
are
connected
to
our
work
through
nyc,
mayor's
youth,
council
and
youth
lead.
The
change
I
mean
continue
to
have
access
to
all
the
resources
that
we
provide
and
that
we
continue
to
think
about
how
we're
engaging
as
partners
in
this
work
and
not
just
providers
but
really
continuing
to
evolve
and
think
about
how
we
are
doing
that
outreach
and
communication.
G
I
I
They
they,
you
know,
have
graphic
design.
They
have,
they
shoot
video
commercials,
and
I'm
thinking
that
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
talent
at
madison
park.
What
opportunities
exist
to
create
a
paid
internship
with
some
of
these
area,
businesses
in
boston
to
help
support
madison
park,
and
I'm
thinking
specifically
also
around
the
building
trades
and
creating
more
employment
opportunities
for
students
in
that
space
and
what
if
any
work
has
been
done
to
ensure
that
madison
park
students
have
your
long
internship
paid
on
internship
opportunities?
D
D
You
know
like
pipe
fitting
and
some
of
those
trades
at
the
school
itself.
We
did
that
we
worked
directly
with
the
headmaster
at
madison
park
last
summer.
Those
conversations
did
not
continue
into
this
summer.
Unfortunately,
so
I
do
think
that
there
it
there
there
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
kind
of
circle
back
around
to
kind
of
figure
out
whether
or
not
there
were
some
changes
in
leadership
at
madison
park
or
what
happened.
D
I
Thank
you
for
that,
and
and
in
regards
to
the
businesses
that
are
in
the
city
of
boston
who
who
we
may
not
have
official
partnerships
with,
as
of
yet
what
opportunities
exist
to.
I
just
gave
hill
holiday
as
an
example,
because
I
know
they're
an
advertising
agency,
but
what
other
businesses
private
businesses
are
within
the
city
of
boston
that
would
be
willing
to
partner
with
us
in
the
future.
D
Yeah,
I
think
that
a
part
of
a
part
of
our
summer
jobs,
evaluation,
work
that
council
bloc,
which
is
asking
about,
is
going
to
include
that
level
of
assessment
in
terms
of
where
all
these
jobs
located
so
the
boston,
private
industry
council.
As
a
as
you
may
be
aware,
they
are,
under
our
summer
jobs,
umbrella
right,
but
they're,
not
ye
they're,
they're
they're
the
pick
and
they
do
work
directly
with
private
sector
companies.
D
I
think
it's
going
to
be
important
for
us
to
know
what
private
sector
companies
they
work
with,
and
what
private,
what
private
companies
which
might
be
smaller
private
companies
they
do
not
work
with,
and
then
there
we
begin
to
identify
the
gaps,
and
you
know
private
sector
opportunities
for
young
people
and
then
I
think
from
there.
We
need
to
put
in
a
pla
a
plan
in
place
to
determine
whether
or
not
we
build.
D
So,
in
terms
of
the
trades,
that's
a
great
question:
councilman
here
like
we,
we
have
been.
We
have
been
asked
that
question
a
number
of
times
is:
can
we
develop
more
intentional
partnerships
with
getting
young
people
into
trade
opportunities?
And,
yes,
we
can
so
I
think
that
we
have
to
be
able
to
that's
gonna.
That's
gonna
be
a
part
of
our
expansion
efforts.
How
do
we
expand
jobs
in
that
area?
B
B
You
know,
obviously
I
think,
there's
definitely
an
interest
from
the
advocates
for
me,
others
that
you
know
in
how
could
we
start
the
year-round
jobs
earlier
in
the
school
year
and-
and
I
just
want
to
recognize
that
just
the
sheer
number
of
year-round
jobs
that
we're
providing
now
is
like
a
huge
jump,
and
we
really
appreciate
it
appreciate
you
guys.
You
know.
B
J
Yeah
so
there's
an
entire
process
that
leads
up
to
us
opening
jobs,
so
we
first
have
to
accept
partners
right
so
we're
releasing
the
partner
application.
The
partners
create
the
jobs,
so
the
job
descriptions
that
you
see
on
our
website,
that's
what
they
create.
We
do
not
create
that,
then
that's
when
young
people
go
through
the
application
process,
so
that
two
month
window
that
we
identified.
J
We
did
that
in
collaboration
with
ohr
and
with
base,
which
is
a
part
of
do-it,
and
so
what
we
did
is
we
mapped
out
our
entire
workflow
from
the
time
that
we
have
a
partner
applied
to
the
time
that
we
hot
up
to
the
time
that
we
get
the
jobs
into
the
system
and
posted,
and
that
takes
about
two
months.
So
that's
not
just
the
youth
application
and
that's
not
just
youth
onboarding.
J
We
keep
the
application
open
for
about
two
weeks
and
then
that
takes
about
three
weeks
and
then
the
entire
process
of
setting
up
the
system
that
we
use,
which
is
items
takes
about
another
month
in
collaboration
with
ohr
and
base,
because
we
are
testing
that
system
we're
making
sure
that
the
application
works.
If
we're
making
any
changes
in
the
language
that
we
use
in
email
templates
or
on
onboarding.
J
We
do
that
as
well.
We
testing
all
of
that
as
well,
so
it
does
take
about
a
m
about
two
months.
I
think
that
the
the
shortest
that
we
can
probably
get
is
maybe
a
month
and
a
half,
and
that's
just
provided
that
everything
goes
perfectly,
but
there
are
so
many
hands
involved
in
us
getting
it
set
up
so
that
that's
why
it
can't
happen
when
the
summer
is
happening.
We
have
to
make
sure
that,
and
I
I
will
give
that
context
from
last
summer.
J
We
were
hiring
until
maybe
end
of
july
right,
and
so
there
would
have
been
no
way
that
we
would
have
been
able
to
post
new
jobs
and
we
were
still
hiring
in
summer
jobs
any
earlier
to
start
by
september,
and
I
think,
season
to
season.
We
do
see
that
we
we
can
go
into
july
for
hiring
for
well
some
every
summer
we
can.
We
can
go
into
july
for
for
summer,
jobs.
B
Got
it
and
yeah
I
mean
I
find
myself,
I
still
find
myself
wondering
like.
Is
there
a
way
like?
Could
we,
for
instance,
when
we
solicit
partners
for
the
summer
like?
Could
we
have
a
like
check
this
box
if
you're
also
interested
in
offering
school
year,
because
I
just
I
do
think
there
are
programs
where
partner
organizations
have
to
make
their
decisions
earlier
right,
and
I
think
in
some
ways
we
let
everybody
decide
at
a
very
late
moment
like
it
wouldn't
be.
B
B
Is
there
a
way
to
create
some
some
kind
of
a
facilitated
on-ramp
for
the
year-round,
even
when
we're
doing
the
summer
solicitation
and
whether
that
might
whether
that
might
also
just
help
save
you
guys
time
right
like
if
it's
oh,
we
put
out
this
app,
and
it
also
has
this
component,
where
people
can
signal
that
they
want.
I
don't
know
anyways
just
thinking
aloud,
but.
D
B
D
No
just
thank
you.
You
know
we
continue
to
be
just
very
much
committed
to
you
know
just
the
feedback
from
all
of
the
city
council
members.
You
know
it
is
our
goal
to
kind
of
work
collectively
with
you
guys,
as
you
all
are
advocates
for
the
constituents
that
we
all
serve.
So
you
know
just
thank
you
for
just
all
your
questions.
We
do
as
you
as
you
have
have
experienced.
D
We
do
take
all
of
your
thoughtful
feedback
into
consideration,
as
we,
you
know,
go
into
planning
mode
for
our
work
on
going
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
So
we
will
do
exactly
the
same
going
into
this
next
fiscal
year
is
to
make
sure
that
we
are
considering
anything
and
everything
that
has
come
out
of
this
session
in
order
to
improve
the
services
that
we
are
providing
so
yeah.
So
thank
you.
B
Great
thank
you
so
much
and
I'm
sorry.
I
remembered
my
one
last
question,
which
is
just
do
you
guys,
because
obviously
you
know
that
some
number
of
roles
don't
get
filled
separate
from
our
whole
issue
about
onboarding
right,
there's
just
like
partners
who
we
assign
jobs
to
who
don't
end
up
getting
them
filled.
So
do
you
guys
sort
of
over
assign
numbers
wise
rashad
like,
or
do
you
only
assign
the
number
that
we
fund
officially.
D
B
B
C
Thank
you
so
much
counselor
bach,
and
thank
you
to
the
dyee
team
for
your
tremendous
report
today.
My
name
is
connor
shone.
I
live
at
359
park
street
in
dorchester
and
I'm
also
the
co-founder
and
co-executive
director
of
break
time,
which
is
a
boston-based
organization
working
to
end
young
adult
homelessness
through
purposeful
transitional
employment
and
financial
empowerment.
C
But
I
just
wanted
to
put
this
in
the
public
testimony
that
there's
definitely
a
need
for
more
general
fund
allocation
to
support
year
round
employment
opportunities
for
young
people.
Boston,
young
people
who
are
out
of
school
need
employment
year-round.
You
know
they
don't
just
need
summer
jobs
and
for
folks
that
are
19
to
24.
C
There
currently
isn't
strong
city-supported
avenues
for
them
to
get
that
employment,
dyee
and
rashad's
team
have
been
doing
tremendous
work
to
make
this
possible,
but
at
break
time
we're
just
advocating
for
an
expansion
of
a
general
funds
allocation
to
support
this
year.
Unemployment,
as
rashad
mentioned,
youth
works
funding,
is
fairly
restricted
in
its
focus.
That's
the
youth
employment
funding
that
comes
to
the
commonwealth
corporation
and
as
the
state.
We
continue
to
work
with
the
state
to
figure
out
sort
of
how
to
expand
the
eligibility
requirements
of
that
state
funding.
B
O
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
for
having
me
and
thank
you
for
giving
me
this
space.
My
name
is
min,
as
you
guys
may
know,
and
I
am
currently
right
now
not
affiliated
with
any
organizations,
but
I
originally
came
from
the
mayor's
youth
council.
As
a
youth
ambassador,
I
started
my
involvement
there
in
freshman
year
and
I
held
a
couple
of
titles
through
my
involvement
with
the
marriage
youth
council.
I
have.
I
have
attended
numerous
our
annual
job
job
fair,
which
is
amazing.
O
The
council,
the
committee
I
served
on
was
workforce
and
economic
development,
and
currently
I
sit
on
the
board.
The
committee
of
youth
engaged,
I'm
sorry,
part
of
me
of
youth
with
the
change
there.
We
go,
there's
a
lot
of
academics
going
on
and
I
in
the
meantime
I
also
work
with
the
culture
district
and
fuse
corner.
I
am
a
part
of
I
help
them
kind
of
ratify
that
bringing
youth
voice
to
the
table.
O
I
remember
when
I
first
joined
I
was
the
only
one
under
18
so
which
is
kind
of
exciting
and
kind
of
terrifying.
At
the
same
time,
I
would
admit
that
joining
the
mage
youth
council
has
caused
such
a.
I
really
developed
me
not
like
as
a
person,
because
I
I
would
never
do
this
on
my
own.
It
started
with
kind
of
the
first
notion
of
sure.
Why
not
do
something
like
this
and
I
joined?
I
started
to
educate
myself.
O
I
I
learned
about
civics
but
in
school,
but
it
wasn't
as
impactful
as
actually
being
involved.
I've
do
my
job
here
learn
about
my
counselors
I
learned
about
who
runs
what
there's
a
lot
of
bureaucracy,
a
lot
of
red
tape
everywhere,
no
matter
what
I
want
to
do.
I
always
find
myself
having
to
go
through
this
department
or
that
department,
which
is
which
kind
of
like
illuminates
kind
of
how
our
democracy
is
wonderful
and
like
just
the
fact
that
it
works.
O
Sometimes
it
might
not
be
the
best
option,
but
it
is
a
very
powerful
option
and
a
very
inclusive
option,
and
then,
when
I
mention
inclusivity,
I
want
to
tie
it
back
to
kind
of
what
I
would
I
joined.
The
council
for
my
mission
was
basically
to
elevate
the
lives
of
boston's
youth
through
financial
literacy.
O
That's
was
the
basis
of
my
of
of
me
running
in,
like
when
I
was
a
freshman
and
as
an
as
a
sophomore,
the
committee
recognized
that,
and
they
saw
me,
and
they
saw
me
and
my
and
my
my
motive
as
genuine.
So
so
last
year
I
worked
upon
with
the
department
of
financial
empowerment
with
their
bank
on
boston
division
to
fight
for,
like
non-custodial
accounts
for
boston's
youth
and
find
ways
to
kind
of
fight
for
making
sure
that
our
youth
are
getting
banked
on
like
banked
and
adequately
banked.
O
That
is
kind
of
like
a
snippet
and
kind
of
the
summary
of
what
that
is
meant
to
do
is
kind
of
my
most
fun
thing,
as
you
guys
know,
and
also
another
thing
is
like
the
cultural
district
that
was
recently
ratified
by
I'm,
assuming
you
guys
a
couple
weeks
back
so
the
feast
corner
cultural
district
for
little
saigon.
So
that
was
very
fun.
O
O
O
I
was
formally
employed
through
success
week
and
I
would
receive
a
check
but
here's
the
problem.
Some
of
these
youths
do
not
have
a
check-ins
account
or
they
come
from
families
or
the
current
position.
Oh
pardon
me,
it
was
like
I
froze
somewhere
there.
Oh
thank
you
some
of
their
they're.
Basically,
their
story
is
that
they're
not
well
connected.
Do
our
financial
banking
system
or
modern
banking
system.
O
So
if
we
can
find
ways
to
kind
of
implement
in
a
banking
system
or
a
financial
literacy
system
through
our
program
and
making
sure
that
these
folks
are
not
just
empowered
but
also
know
what
to
do,
that
is
an
area
that
I
can
see
these
funds
or
potential
funds
and
and
development
take
place
and
grow.
This
committee,
I
see
a
hand
from
michael,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
I
no.
O
I
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
man.
We
really
appreciate
you
joining
us
from
the
mayor's
youth
council.
I
am
going
to
go
next
to
selma
murphy,
who
I
think
is
also
joining
us
from
the
mayor's
youth
council
and
then
we've
been
joined
by
councillor
michael
flaherty
at
large,
so
counselor
flaherty.
I
just
I
had
said
selma
could
go
next,
I'm
just
gonna!
Let
her
testify
and
then
we're
obviously
in
the
public
testimony
portion.
B
E
Okay,
hi
everyone.
My
name
is
solo
murphy
and
I
am
a
junior
at
boston
academy
this
year.
This
is
my
first
year
on
the
mayor's
youth
council,
which
was
an
interesting
one
because
of
you
know
being
virtual,
but
it
was
absolutely
amazing
and
I'm
more
than
grateful
to
have
been
a
part
of
this
opportunity
it
has
presented
so
many
different.
You
know
opportunities
to
myself
along
with
people
part
of
my
community.
I
started
in
the
civic
engagement
community.
E
I
was
able
to
plan,
and
you
know,
help
my
community
co-plan,
the
the
woman
one
of
color
and
government
event,
which
is
absolutely
amazing,
so
insightful.
With
this
opportunity,
I've
been
able
to
learn
more
about
city
council,
get
involved
with
city
council
getting
involved
other
you
know,
elements
of
local
government
has
really
fueled
my
passion
for
this
work
and
it's
kind
of
given
me
and
helped
me
foster
a
sense
of
what
I
want
to
do
in
the
future,
which
is
absolutely
amazing.
E
So
I
do
want
to
get
involved
with
something
similar
and
continue
to
work
with
civic
engagement,
helping
youth,
civical,
youth
of
color
and
low-income
students.
You
know
prosper
and
kind
of
break
the
system
of
oppression
that
we
lift
their
impulse,
and
so
I
think
that
we
definitely
have
to
best
invest
in
our
youth
in
order
to
to
foster
a
better
future
for
boston
and
future
for
our
nation
in
general.
I
believe
that
boston
is
a
blueprint
for
the
for
the
us
as
a
whole.
E
Honestly-
and,
I
believe,
with
you
know,
strong
policy
that
will
advance
our
communities
of
color.
Our
students
of
color
is
is
well
worthwhile
and
well
worth
our
time
discussing
and
going
about
so
yeah.
The
department
has
been
nothing
but
amazing.
To
me
in
general,
majority
council
is
something
I'd
definitely
be
returning
to
next
year
and
then
even
after
high
school.
E
I
really
hope
to
still
be
involved
with
with
the
department
with
the
office
as
well
as
just
dye
being
there,
since
I
was
young,
just
kind
of
being
involved
in
opportunities
different,
you
know
things
they
presented
to
me
as
a
as
a
young
person
growing
up
in
boston,
which
is
absolutely
amazing.
I
work
with
the
office
opportunity
gaps
last
year
summer
2020,
which
is
you
know,
such
a
great
job.
Learning
about
pedagogy
and
education
curriculum,
so
that
was
absolutely
incredible
and
yeah.
E
So
just
I
think,
investing
in
our
youth,
like
I
said
before,
is
a
very,
very
critical
and
crucial
part
of
advancing
boston,
and
you
know
ensuring
upper
mobility
for
everyone
in
boston,
all
of
our
communities.
I've
been
able
to
not
only
you
know,
work
with
such
amazing
people
on
in
the
committee
on
the
committee,
but
we're
people
outside
of
boston
in
different
offices.
Awesome
advancements.
E
I
know
min
does
a
lot
of
incredible
stuff
as
well
alongside
the
whole
committee
and
then
with
the
use
council
just
kind
of
like
what
it's
done
for
me
outside
of
just
what
we've
been
doing
all
together.
It's
also
part
of
my
work.
My
global
work,
so
I
founded
an
organization
called
girls,
give
back
global
where
I
work
with
girls
all
over
the
world
to
promote
female
initiative,
and
so
the
council
has
definitely
definitely
definitely
definitely
been
a
crucial
way
and
critical
way
of
me
growing.
E
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
selma
and
with
that
we'll
just
interrupt
public
testimony
for
a
second
and
go
to
counselor
michael
flaherty
at
large,
who
also
joined
us
and
I
know,
might
have
a
comment
or
two
related
to
men's
comments
and
then
counselor
flaherty.
If
you
have
any
comments
or
questions
for
ye,
then
we'll
go
back
to
public
testimony.
P
P
B
Q
You
have
a
floor
hi.
Thank
you
so
much
hello,
everyone,
my
name
is
perla
lara.
I
am
the
program
coordinator
for
the
southwest
boston,
community
development,
corporation
green
team.
We
are
the
youth
jobs
and
environmental
stewardship
program.
This
summer
is
actually
going
to
be
our
13th
year
operating
the
green
team,
which
hires
boston
youth
to
restore
our
local
conservation,
land
youth,
identify
and
remove
invasive
plants,
restore
walking
trails,
plant
new
trees
and
educate
the
community
about
proper
use
of
the
woods.
Q
Q
The
restoration
work
of
the
program
is
physically
demanding,
especially
on
hot
days.
Youth
are
using
landscaping
tools
which
have
to
be
handled
safely.
Understanding
proper
workplace
conduct
is
new
to
many
youth,
and
for
all
these
reasons
we
need
one
experienced
supervisor
for
every
five
youth
and
for
our
team
of
15
youth.
We
require
three
supervisors.
Q
A
B
Oh
thank
you
for
telling
me
I
was
saying
neyman
that
we
usually
we
usually
default
to
calling
on
folks
we've
been
in
the
waiting
room
for
a
while,
so
we
just
figured
but
glad
to
have
you
with
us.
I
am
going
to
go
to
my
colleague,
counselor
michael
flaherty.
Who's
rejoined
us
just
for
for
his
comments.
P
Thank
you,
ma'am,
chair,
sorry,
for
the
technical
difficulties.
Obviously
we
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
presentations
and
for
their
questions
and
been
a
long
time
supporter
of
year-round
job
opportunities
for
our
youth
and
appreciate
the
work
that
y
e
does.
I
wanted
to
obviously
respond
to
to
men's
questions.
P
So
we
corral
all
of
the
banks
that
do
business
with
boston,
particularly
those
that
have
our
depository
accounts
and
we
were
able
to
rally
them
to
allow
them
to
come
down
when
the
youth
were
getting
their
job
assignments
to
have
them
open
up
accounts,
and
they
were
kind
enough.
I
believe
at
the
time
they
put
25
dollars
in
each
kid's
account
to
get
them
started,
and
then
the
kids
were
able
to
cash.
Their
hot
earned
checks
at
that
at
that
particular.
P
You
know
bank,
and
in
many
instances
they
were
our
community
banks
which
were
helping
kids
build
credit
worthiness.
In
many
instances
these
kids
were
sort
of
you
know
first
generation
bankers
in
terms
of
their
their
families
and
having
the
bank
relationships
that
will
allow
them
down
the
road
to
you,
know
potentially
buy
their
own
car
or
be
able
to
purchase
their
own
home
and
or
qualify
for
student
loans,
so
all
of
it
was
good
stuff.
P
P
P
You
can
count
the
banks
on
both
hands,
and
so
we
do
have
lending
institutions
that
have
been
good
partners
so
happy
to
work
with
men
and
and
others
to
see
if
we
can
reestablish
and
get
our
lending
institutions,
particularly
those
that
hold
our
depository
accounts
for
the
city,
to
step
up
and
start
a
program
again
with
our
youth,
similar
to
what
we
had
when
we
started
the
program
several
years
ago.
So
thank
you
and
thanks
keep
up
the
great
work
for
the
youth
and
come
in
as
a
supporter
of
the
ye
budget.
B
R
R
As
we
speak,
I
would
know
because
I
too
was
that
14
year
old
with
that
predicament
as
a
14
year
old,
you
are
in
this
stage
where
you
are
entering
high
school
and
you
are
already
and
excited
from
leaving
your
old
middle
school
and
starting
your
new
journey
as
a
high
schooler
with
many
kids
during
that
summer.
It
can
really
be
a
make
or
break
for
them,
especially
many
kids.
R
With
new
budget
increases
within
youth
jobs,
it
would
be
more
easier
to
hire
youth
at
age
14
and
with
new
policy,
especially
this
year
with
a
success
link,
saying.
Students
who
turn
15
by
september
can
get
a
job.
Why
not
just
expand
that
job
eligibility
with
all
14
year
olds
as
well,
when
it
comes
to
19
to
22
year
olds,
although
I'm
not
at
that
age.
R
Yet
I
have
many
friends
who
are
and
feel
concerned
with
getting
a
job
after
high
school
from
those
who
are
transitioning
from
the
success
link
process
to
getting
a
regular
job,
and
many
college
kids
who
are
transitioned
from
high
school
would
actually
want
to
get
a
yearly
job.
However,
that
opportunity
is
scarce
with
them.
We
have
all
the
necessary
funds
as
a
city
to
support
them
finding
a
job.
In
fact,
there
are
several
hundred
supervisor
jobs
offered
in
the
summer.
R
Why
not
increase
that
and
extend
that
also
into
the
school
year
for
many
young
adults
who
are
eager
to
grasp
the
opportunity
with
your
support,
this
will
not
only
be
a
win-win
for
boston
youth
jobs,
but
also
pave
a
path
for
economic
stability
for
young
adults
in
our
growing
competitive
work
pool
when
it
comes
to
14
year
olds.
There
aren't
enough
programs
for
them
to
accommodate
their
interests,
something
like
a
little
stipend
with
super
teens
and
some
little
activities
that
replicate
a
summer
camp
isn't
going
to
be
sufficient
enough.
R
So,
in
my
demand,
one
cut
120
million
from
the
police
budget
and
freeze
all
hiring
for
police
officers.
Two
reinvest,
the
120
million
in
community
needs
such
as
hiring
young
people
and
creating
more
access
for
jobs
for
jobs
and
stability.
To
end
off,
I
would
like
to
say
a
quote
from
kim
janey
in
an
interview
with
in
an
interview
in
february,
she
said,
reported
by
the
boston
herald.
R
B
B
So
obviously,
that's
you
know,
that's
the
first
three
quarters
of
14
year
olds,
but
I
I
hear
you
guys
loud
and
clear
on
on
wanting
the
14
across
the
board
to
be
the
lower
eight,
and
I
I
thank
you
for
bringing
that
demand
to
the
table
here
today.
All
right
next
up
is
favor
and
then
it'll
be
sorry.
I've
lost
ion
so
or
is
it
unless
you
guys
want
to
switch
the
order.
S
No,
it's
okay!
I
can
go
quickly,
wonderful,
hello,
my
name
is
faber
and
I
live
in
hyde
park.
I'm
part
of
yjp
and
I'm
here
to
demand
for
more
jobs
for
undocumented
youth,
kim
janey
agreed
to
allow
the
dreamers
fellowship
in
the
school
year,
jobs
to
last
from
september
to
june,
and
we
are
here
to
see
that
she
keeps
his
promise
for
not
only
youth
with
documented
status
but
for
undocumented
youth
as
well.
S
We
also
want
to
see
the
budget
increase
so
that
the
opportunity
to
get
a
job
is
easier
for
undocumented
people
right
now
there
are
only
198
slots
for
the
summer
and
there
needs
to
be
more
undocumented.
Youth
are
people
too
and
should
get
the
same
opportunity
as
u.s
citizens.
Undocumented
youth
are
always
being
targeted
by
ice
and
other
police
groups,
but
don't
get
the
opportunity
to
join
youth
leaderships
organizations
or
jobs
that
can
help
them
for
their
future.
S
Instead
of
investing
in
these
dangerous
police
forces,
we
should
allow
undocumented
youth
to
apply
for
a
youth
job
so
that
they
can
support
their
families.
We
demand
to
see
a
cut
of
120
million
dollars
from
the
police
budget
and
seize
all
hiring.
I
want
to
see
this
120
million
dollars
go
into
creating
more
slots
for
undocumented
youth.
Let's
put
our
focus
in
supporting
undocumented
youth
instead
of
criminalizing
them.
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
yield
my
time
great.
T
Hi,
my
name
is
ayam
mohammed
and
I
live
in
roxbury
and
I'm
with
the
youth
justice
and
power
union,
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
promise
of
five
thousand
summer
jobs
and
one
thousand
school
year
jobs
made
to
us
by
mayor
kim
jamie.
Last
year
we
were
promised
four
thousand
seven
hundred
summer
jobs
and
one
thousand
school
year
jobs,
and
then
we
were
only
given
3758
summer
jobs
and
938
school
year
jobs.
Instead,
it
was
very
evident
why
e
did
not
provide
us
with
what
we
were
told
by
the
marty,
walsh
administration.
T
They
gave
a
bunch
of
empty
promises
if
you
guys
promise
a
specific
amount
of
jobs
along
with
the
budget
and
don't
give
the
actual
amount
of
jobs.
Where
is
the
rest
of
the
money?
Going
now
that
the
royal
mayor
has
been
passed
down
to
mayor
janie,
she
has
the
chance
to
correct
these
errors.
On
may
19th,
mayor
jamie
agreed
with
the
need
to
extend
school
year
jobs
from
september
to
june.
T
We
demand
that
you
guys
actually
give
5
000
summer
jobs
and
1
000
school
year
jobs,
and
we
also
demand
that
school
year
jobs
are
made
year-round
in
my
experiences
with
jobs.
You
should
extend
summer
jobs
from
the
beginning
of
the
summer
to
the
end
of
the
summer.
We
know
that
they're
doing
that
for
the
grant
awarded
jobs.
What
about
the
normal
successing
jobs
in
the
past?
It
was
insufficient.
It's
only
six
weeks.
It
starts
in
the
beginning
of
july
and
goes
to
the
middle
of
august.
T
If
it's
a
summer
job,
it
needs
to
be
the
whole
summer.
On
top
of
that
school
year,
jobs
only
go
from
november
to
april,
even
though
the
school
year
is
from
september
to
june
for
school
year
jobs.
Why
doesn't
it
start
in
september
they're
just
giving
these
titles
such
as
school
year,
jobs
that
don't
go
along
with
what
they're
actually
giving
us
in
reality?
T
In
my
experiences
with
bay
heck
a
summer
job,
I
mean
a
school
year
job.
The
funding
is
different
between
jobs
that
have
the
success
link,
benefit
and
some
that
don't
some
of
my
friends
working
at
success
and
got
hundred
dollars
bi-weekly.
While
I
was
only
getting
80
to
100,
there's
a
huge
difference
in
that
we
were
only
given
the
option
of
four
hours
a
week,
while
successive
workers
can't
have
up
to
ten.
This
highlights
why
more
school
year,
jobs
should
be
provided
for
students
as
of
right.
T
T
L
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
george
lee
and
I'm
one
of
the
adult
support
staff
with
youth
justice
and
power
union.
Thank
you,
chairperson,
both
for
postponing
this
hearing
because
of
the
original
conflict
with
eid
to
make
sure
more
folks
could
come
and,
as
folks
might
know,
our
group,
we
talk
how
we
see
it
when
politicians
support
us.
We
say
that
and
appreciate
it.
L
When
politicians
don't
support
us,
we
say
that
and
want
to
give
a
lot
of
credit
to
mayor
janie
for
leading
a
letter
last
year
to
marty
walsh
that
included,
asking
for
5
000
summer
jobs
and
a
thousand
year-round
jobs,
and
it's
a
fight.
We've
been
waging
for
10
years
under
menino
and
bulsh
and
kept
hearing
lies
and
excuses
that
it
couldn't
be
done
and
within
one
month
of
assuming
office,
mayor
janie
made
it
happen
in
the
budget.
So
all
the
lies
were
told
before
that
there
wasn't
enough
money.
L
Clearly,
there
was,
and
thank
you
to
the
mayor
for
fulfilling
that
promise.
Other
changes
that
have
been
made
as
rashad
and
folks
have
mentioned
before,
is
starting
the
grants
program
allowing
some
14
year
olds
to
apply,
but
from
our
understanding
it's
not
three
quarters
of
14
year
olds,
it's
only
one-sixth
of
fourteen-year-olds.
L
L
My
theme
today
is
mainly
on
the
issue
of
getting
more
information
in
the
communication.
We
asked
a
lot
of
questions
to
success
link
last
year
in
april
and
may
and
we
never
got
answers.
We
had
to
look
back
at
today's
hearing
to
see
if
those
answers
were
given,
but
it
shouldn't
take
a
year
to
get
answers.
It
shouldn't
take
repeated
emails,
it
shouldn't
take
city
councilors,
having
to
ask
it
multiple
times
either,
and
the
reason
that
that
communication
is
important
even
with
some
of
those
solutions
that
have
been
adopted.
L
A
lot
of
that
has
been
came
after
we
asked
for
that
last
year
and
we're
told
no.
We
can't
do
that.
We
can't
do
grants
yet
we
can't
hire
14
year
olds.
We
can't
increase
the
jobs,
we
can't
hire
undocumented
youth
instead
of
just
telling
us
no
flat
out.
If
you
want
to
work
with
us,
let
us
know
you
can
work
with
us
and
then,
when
you
make
these
changes,
let
us
know
so
we
can
celebrate
with
you.
L
This
is
an
example.
The
screen
shares
from
a
budget
back
in
2011,
where
they
actually
said
how
many
people
applied
for
jobs
and
how
many
people
got
the
jobs
over
the
past
two
years.
We
think,
probably
because
there
were
problems
actually
meeting
the
goals
that
were
set
out.
The
numbers
were
very
different
in
the
budget.
They
no
longer
even
say
how
many
now
people
actually
got
jobs
in
the
past
each
summer.
They
just
have
this
generic
goal
of
how
many
what
percent
was
accepted.
L
We
need
more
transparency,
like
we
had
10
years
ago,
in
terms
of
how
many
people
actually
get
jobs
right
now,
we
think
about
8
000
people.
This
was
in
the
info
that
was
sent
to
the
city
council
about
8
000
people
registered
for
success
link,
but
there
were
only
less
than
4
000
jobs
last
year,
so
there's
still
a
need
for
a
lot
more
jobs,
but
again
we
need
to
make
sure
we
get
that
information
in
a
timely
way.
L
So
to
summarize,
we
need
transparency
and
information
and
we
need
to
make
sure
we
hit
those
jobs
that
the
as
mayor,
jenny
has
already
committed
to
to
make
sure
that
jobs
are
really
year
round
from
september
through
june,
which
we
think
actually
requires
an
increase
in
the
budget.
We
need
more
jobs
for
undocumented
youth.
We
need
all
14
year
olds
to
qualify
like
perla
said.
There
needs
to
be
more
funding,
so
there's
19
to
24
year
old
positions
that
there's
more
of
them
that
they're
better
paid.
L
L
Thank
you
to
the
counselors
who
last
year
put
commitments.
Actually,
in
writing
and
helped
make
sure
we
won
this
jobs
increase
this
year.
That
includes
mayor
janie
councillors,
mejia
wu,
edwards,
campbell
royal
breeding
and
bach
council
sergeant
lisa
george
also
wrote
a
letter
saying
she
supported
youth
jobs
and
chester
flynn
wrote
a
letter
without
specific
numbers,
though
unfortunately,
counselors
baker,
o'malley
and
flaherty
did
not
write
letters
of
support
and
even
though
often
people
say
they
support
youth
jobs.
We
need
to
see
that
you're
actually
putting
in
writing
that
it's
a
priority.
L
So
thank
you
to
the
counselors
who
did
support
us
last
year
and
we
hope
folks
will
put
their
support
in
writing
with
specifics,
and
we
also
hope
you
support
actually
voting
against
the
police
budget
until
it
cuts
it
by
entrepreneurial
and
has
the
hiring
freeze.
So
we
hope
you
support
that
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much
taker.
B
B
I
M
Sorry,
my
name
is
about
parkman.
Unfortunately
like
naaman,
I
might
have
signed
up
wrong.
I
work
under
a
direct
coat
so
I'll
just
yield
my
time,
but
I
would
just
just
like
to
say
we
thank
you
for
all
the
support
that
you're
doing,
because
our
work
is
very
important
for
the
youth
of
boston
and
we
hope
to
continue
to
do
that
work
for
many
years
to
come.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
B
B
B
B
B
B
I
needed
a
real
eloquent
job
and
thank
you
again
to
director
cope
and,
and
tara
and
jeremy
and
the
whole
team.
It
was
really
great
to
have
you
all
here
today
and
we
do
appreciate
the
answers
to
all
of
our
questions.
Obviously,
you
know
we'll
have
continued
follow-up
and
I
think,
as
you
heard
today,
right
richard
a
lot
of
what
folks
want
is
to
make
sure
that
that
we
get
every
job
you
know
into
the
hands
of
our
young
people
and
and
that
we
keep
growing.
C
U
B
B
B
Okay,
great
excellent,
so
we
will
we
will
hang
tight
for
a
second
sorry.
These
are
the
joys
of
the
zoom
experience,
but
we
want
to
you
know
as
much
as
possible
as
we're
still
doing.
These
virtual
hearings
make
sure
that
everyone
gets
their
voices
to
be
heard.
Counselor
mejia,
while
we're
waiting.
Did
you
want
to
make
a
quick
comment.
I
Yes,
so
I'm
curious
about
the
lowering
the
age
advocacy.
I
always
talk
about
starting
working
when
I
was
12.,
even
though
it
was
under
the
table.
Nonetheless,
I
I
got
a
head
start
in
the
in
the
workforce,
but
at
14
I
know
that
I
was
able
to
secure
working
papers
and
a
working
permit.
I
believe
through
boston,
public
schools,
and
maybe
things
have
changed
since
then,
but
I
know
that
I
was
able
to
to
work
at
14,
and
so
I'm
just
curious
as
to.
Why
are
we
not
supporting
something
like
that?
D
D
D
D
I
probably
cannot
share
like
what
has
happened
in
the
past,
like
I
guess,
prior
to
me,
coming
into
this
role
and
what
that
has
looked
like
and
how
jobs
of
14
year
olds
were
spread
across
the
city.
But
I
just
know,
since
I've
been
in
this
role.
That's
that's
how
we
have
looked
at
just
the
opportunities
for
that
age
group
population
and
then,
as
councilor
bach
did
mention
like
14
year
olds,
that
are
in
the
same
class
year.
D
I
guess
school
school-wise
as
some
of
their
peers,
who
may
turn
15
before
before
the
summer
are
actually
included
in
the
success
link
program
this
summer.
So
that's
the
adjustment
that
some
of
the
advocates
were
also
mentioning
is
that
if
you
are
14
years
old
by
september
that
eligibility
you
are
eligible.
But
if
you
are
not,
if
you
are
14
going
into
the
next
school
year,
you
are
not
eligible,
so
I
I
hope,
that's
a
a
clear
response
to.
I
That
hopeful,
but
not
hopeful
but
helpful,
to
understand
the
why
and
so
yeah
I
I
believe
it
was
through
the
pic
program
that
I
was
able
to
get
a
job
at
brigham
and
women's
hospital,
and
I
may
have
been
14
or
15
but
anyways.
I
do
believe
that
there
are
benefits
and,
as
you
all
think,
about
the
data
that
you're
collecting,
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
if
you
have
information
available.
I
That
goes
the
impact
that
a
job
has
on
a
young
person
even
at
an
earlier
age,
and
how
that
builds
a
strong
foundation
for
work,
ethics
and
also
a
deterrent
to
violence.
So
I
think
that
that
data
will
help
us
make
data
informed
decisions
about
what
we
can
and
cannot
do.
We
might
be
able
to
a
lot
some
more
dollars
in
the
budget
to
help
achieve
those
goals.
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much.
I
think,
since
we
still
haven't
been
joined
by
the
person
we
thought
might
be
coming
in,
I
do
think
that
at
this
point
I'm
gonna
adjourn
the
hearing
so
again
grateful
to
the
y
e
team.
Definitely
I
think
this.
The
age
question
again
underscores
just
the
idea
of
you
know,
as
we
do
evaluation
thinking
about
how
we
bring
all
those
pieces
in.
So
we
know
to
counsel
me
his
point.
You
know
who
could
we
be
serving
who
exists?
