Good

everyone
I'd
like
to
call
this
meeting
to
order
for
the
record.
My
name
is
Liz
Britain
I
am
the
chair
of
the
Boston
City
Council
Committee
on
women,
strong
women,
families
and
communities.
I'm
joined
today
by
my
colleagues,

and
it's
asabi
George

Madame

Royal
Council,
President
Ginny
will
join
us
militarily
and
I
also
have
a

C
Council

which
I
will
read

the
record:

you

Can
you

Britain
I,
regret

It's

I
am
hopeful
that
the

explore
youth
summer
jobs
for
a
pandemic
recovery
response,
including
food
access
and
elderly
services.
C
The
city
of
Boston
should
also
explore
utilizing
our
youth
youth
to
assist
in
our
city
departments
with
constituent
services,
resources,
2020
census,
outreach
efforts
and
neighborhood
cleanup

Thank
you.
Please
read
this
letter
into
the
record.
Regards
Lydia
Edwards,
Boston
city,
councilor,
district
1,
I.
C
C
She
is
on
good
number
zero,
except
I'm,
firing
to
explore
preparation
for
youth
employment
opportunities
and
made
the
post
covered
19
pandemic
opening
statements.
When
we
take
opening
statements
from
the
elite
school
sponsors,
those
for
those
co-sponsors
will
be
allocated
seven
minutes
for
their
comments.
D
D
This
is
an
opportunity
to
hear
what
those
are
and,
of
course,
to
see
how
the
council
can
work
in
partnership
on
these
pressing
issues,
to
ensure
that
every
single
young
person
who
wants
a
job
and
an
opportunity
over
the
summer
in
the
fall
is
able
to
obtain
one.
We
talked
a
lot
about
not
just
me,
but
also
councillors,
Mejia
and
councillors,
Jamie
on
how
we
were
those
young
people
growing
up
in
the
city
of
Boston,
born
and
raised.
Here
we
had
summer
jobs
pick
through
ABCD.
D
The
list,
as
long
as
to
the
value
of
these
employment
opportunities,
and
so
we
are
hopeful
that
the
administration
will
not
only
look
at
the
line
item
with
respect
to
youth
jobs,
but
look
at
and
possibly
increasing
it,
to
ensure
that
every
single
young
person
has
access
and
now
that
we
are
in
a
new,
a
new
sort
of
context
with
the
murder
of
George
Floyd
Brianna
Taylor
on
Marberry.
The
list
is
long
and
it
continues
to
grow.
D
And
lastly,
I'll
say:
we've
been
talking
a
lot
on
the
public
safety
side
around
how
we
reinvest
resources
redirect
resources
from
our
Police
Department
into
opportunities
that
will
help
our
young
people
and
our
residents
at
the
beginning.
Point
avoid
participating
in
criminal
activity
or
avoid
interacting
with
police
in
such
a
way,
isn't
productive,
and
so
this
is
an
opportunity
to
help
our
young
people.
It
is
proven
that
when
people
have
good
jobs,
they're
less
likely
a
good
opportunity,
an
equitable
economic
opportunity
to
turn
to
things
they're
less
likely
to
turn
to
behavior.
D
That's
not
productive,
they're,
less
likely
to
get
involved
in
the
game
or
end
up
in
our
criminal
justice
system.
It's
important
to
invest
at
the
forefront,
not
at
the
end
and
so
looking
forward
to
having
that
robust
conversation
today.
Lastly,
I
have
to
give
a
special
shout-out
to
Rashad
who
lives
in
the
district
for
the
incredible
work.
You
continue
to
do,
of
course,
and
not
only
thinking
about
what
you
can
do
in
the
city,
but
also
partnering
with
our
higher
ed
institutions.
Midori.
Thank
you
as
well.
We've
worked
on
a
lot
of
different
employment
opportunities.
D
Rufus
I
think
is
also
on
he's
doing
a
lot
in
the
public
safety
space.
So
really
appreciate
you
guys
taking
the
time
to
be
on
this
hearing
today
and
looking
forward
to
working
in
partnership
with
you
as
well.
As
my
colleagues
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you,
council
Braden,
and
congratulations
on
your
first
hearing.
C
G
All
right,
then,
so
I'm
gonna
keep
it
brief.
Thank
You
councillor
reading,
congratulations,
sharing
your
first
hearing
and
what,
how
appropriate
it
is
deeply
rooted
in
the
things
that
are
impacting
our
most
vulnerable,
so
I'm
so
happy
to
be
joining
you
on
this,
as
well
as
I
want
to
thank
a
councillor
Campbell
for
her
leadership
in
this
space,
as
well
as
president
council
Jamie
for
their
passion
around
this
issue
also
mentioned
with
both
city.
Kids
have
worked
in
Boston
pick
ABCD.
So
for
me,
this
conversation
is
personal
and
professional.
G
Having
been
the
business
and
sherée
of
youth
employment,
while
growing
up
I
know
that
youth
having
a
job
was
what
literally
saved
my
life
and
I
know
that
it's
not
just
about
making
those
ends
meet,
but
it's
really
about
developing
strong
work
for
young
people
and
creating
opportunities
for
them
to
look
at
career
explorations
as
viable
employment
opportunities
outside
of
their
everyday
lives.
My
hope
is,
as
we
continue
to
talk
about
these
jobs,
that
we
also
look
beyond
summer
employment.
G
Looking
at
your
long
employment,
how
can
we
as
a
city,
invest
in
resources
to
ensure
that
we're
employing
young
people
throughout
the
entire
year,
not
just
during
the
summer
and
I,
know
that
this
initial
hearing
was
brought
forth
as
a
result
of
Kovac
and
really
looking
to
the
city
to
really
explore?
How
can
we
create
meaningful
opportunities
for
young
people
to
serve
as
civic
leaders
to
work
and
collaboration.
G
To
help
support
neighborhood
services,
so
I
think
that
we
have
a
responsibility
and
an
opportunity
to
figure
out
how
we
can
include
young
people
in
ways
that
make
sense.
I
will
say
this
that
I
remember
when
I
was
a
kid.
I
wanted
a
pair
of
Nikes
and
there
was
an
insurance
agency
that
moved
around
my
way.
I
went
up
to
them.
I
said
I,
know
everybody
here.
G
Also,
the
chair
of
small
business
and
workforce
development
I
think
even
looking
at
economic
development,
the
office
of
economic
development,
we
have
an
opportunity
there
as
well
to
find
some
really
good
jobs
for
our
young
people
year-round
as
well
as
workforce
development.
What
opportunities
exist
besides
pick
that
we
have
yet
to
uncover
I
mean
here
for
all
of
it.
G
I'm,
that's
usually
an
afterthought,
but
I
believe
we
need
to
push
given
what
our
young
people
have
been
facing
these
days,
that
we
need
to
talk
about
mental
health
and
that's
why
I'm
so
pleased
to
have
young
people
who
are
here
to
speak
with
us
today,
because
who
better
to
uplift
those
issues,
then,
when
you
and
like
congresswoman
Presley
says
those
who
are
closest
to
the
pain
should
be
the
closest
to
the
power,
and
we
hope
that
this
hearing
will
give
us
some
insight
in
terms
of
what
we
need
to
do.
C
H
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
council
Braden
and
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
sponsors
council,
a
Campbell
Council,
President,
Cheney,
councilor
Mejia,
for
their
work
on
this
important
issue.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
councillor
Braden
for
sharing
this
meeting
and
looking
forward
to
hearing
from
the
young
people
their
testimony
about
the
importance
of
summer
jobs,
I'm
also
looking
forward
to
in
learning
more
about
summer
jobs
and
maybe
how
they
can
be
expand,
whether
it's
into
the
into
the
fall
as
well
or
throughout
the
school
year.
H
Can
we
make
sure
that
we
have
good
partners
that
are
part
of
the
system
where
our
young
people
are
getting
jobs,
that
getting
good
education,
a
good,
a
good
training
from
these
jobs,
and
also
that
maybe
these
jobs
or
internships
could
continue
throughout
the
school
year?
I
think
all
business
community
has
to
do
a
little
more
a
little
bit
more
work
and
making
sure
that
there's
a
better
and
more
effective
partnership.
H
Year-Round
with
with
the
young
people
in
our
city,
these
great
businesses
in
the
downtown
area
and
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront
I'd,
like
to
see
them,
do
more
work
in
connecting
young
people
to
these
jobs
in
the
training
programs
that
are
often
as
well
so
again.
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
her
shot
into
engine
Rufus
and
all
the
others
and
the
Washington
ministrations.
They
are
important
work
that
they're
doing
is
well
on
on
these
issues.
So
thank
you,
Thank
You,
councillor,
Braden,
the
end.
I
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair,
and
congratulations
on
the
roll
I
excited
to
be
here
today.
Thank
sponsors
for
holding
this
hearing
I,
you
know
we've
we
had
Rashad
with
us.
You
know
about
a
month
back
to
talk
about
this
program
in
the
context
of
budget
hearings,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
we've
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
youth
advocates
throughout
the
budget
process
is
the
desire
to
make
sure
that
the
city
is
really.
I
You
know
picking
up
its
commitment
here,
especially
in
a
moment
where
a
lot
of
those
private
opportunities
that
councilor
Campbell
alluded
to
you
know
are
scarce
or
on
the
ground.
The
summer,
because
of
kovin
and
and
I've
also
heard
from
advocates
that
is
a
dire
to
you
know,
expand
the
age
eligibility
to
increase
the
number
of
supervisor
jobs
for
older
youth.
So
you
know
that's
something
that
I've
been
tracking
very
closely.
My
office
is
working
on.
I
We
want
to
host
some
young
people
this
summer
and
I
just
would
echo
what
everyone
has
said
about
how
important
this
is,
and
you
know,
I
think
it's
just
I
think
really
important.
First
and
foremost,
just
as
an
opportunity
for
human
development,
for
our
young
people
and
for
leadership,
development
and
a
sense
of
a
sense
of
real
ownership
of
the
city
and
I
think
we're
all
seeing
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
young
people
raised.
I
Their
voices
right
now
in
this
moment
and
and
youth
jobs
are
also
part
of
giving
them
that
agency
and
giving
them
the
money
that
they're
that
they
and
their
families
need.
This
is
a
really
important
issue
to
me
and,
and
it
increased
City
commitment
to
it
is
really
important
to
me
and
I'm
excited
to
hear
today
where
we
are
so.
Thank
you
so
much
Thank.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
to
the
make
us
for
this
hearing.
As
someone
who
has
spent
an
early
part
of
her
career
on
student
supports
around
employment,
I
was
a
pic
correct
counselor.
This
is
really
important
to
me
personally
and
professionally
and
as
a
mother
of
teenagers
recognize
how
important
it
is
to
make
sure
that
our
kids
have
work
opportunities
across
our
city
but
have
meaningful
work
opportunities,
and
it's
about
the
youth
and
the
younger
age
group.
J
Today's
continue
the
conversation
about
this
and
looking
forward
to
implementing
some
changes
going
forward
and
very
curious
about
the
impacts
of
couvade
and
Corona
the
pandemic
on
our
employment
opportunities
for
our
young
people
this
summer
and,
as
everyone
else
has
congratulations,
Council
Braden
on
this
first
hearing.
Thank
you.
Ma'am,
chair,
Thank,.
K
First
off,
congratulations
on
your
first
hearing,
I'm,
proud
to
have
passed
on
this
reimagine
committee
to
you
and
you're,
obviously
doing
an
incredible
job,
thanks,
of
course,
to
the
makers
for
this
really
important
topic.
You
know
I,
like
many
people
on
this
call
account
my
first
City
summer.
Job
with
the
city
of
Boston
is
just
such
a
remarkable
part
of
my
foundation
and
really
part
of
my
educational
and
career
trajectory.
K
These
are
all
important
conversations
to
have,
which
is
really
the
fundamental
purpose
of
these
hearings,
so
delighted
to
advocate
both
for
the
policy
and
practicality
as
we
go
forward
and
look
forward
to
hearing
not
only
from
the
administration
but
from
stakeholders
and
residents
as
well.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
the
makers.
I'm
proud
to
be
a
co-sponsor
on
this
very
important
conversation.
K
C
L
M
L
L
C
L
N
I
L
I
think
it
might
be
on
your
end,
but
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
just
quickly
say
thank
you
for
your
patience.
Madam
chairwoman
and
I
want
to
certainly
extend
my
deep
gratitude
to
my
colleagues
for
their
sponsorship
so
to
the
makers.
Thank
you.
This
issue
very
important
I
can
certainly
speak
from
firsthand.
L
G
K
M
M
And
it'll
be
brief.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
sponsors
for
their
leadership
to
bring
this
board
I
want
to
thank
the
panelists
work
for
attending
to
talk
about
this
important
issue
and
I
just
want
to
also
offer
my
congratulations,
two
hoots
councillor
Braden
for
her
first
hearing
with
some
technical
difficulties.
M
I
think
this
is
another
way
of
looking
at
doing
a
number
of
different
things
where
we
can
both
help
people
economically
help
them
by
providing
a
structure
structured
thing
for
them
to
do
over
the
summer
and
so
I.
Look
forward
to
this
conversation
and
I
appreciate
everybody
who's
who's
here
to
speak
on
it
and
to
advocate
for
it.
So
thank
you.
F
B
Is
lifting
up
you
know
for
a
number
of
our
morning
calls
which
is
just
to
have
a
plan
a
summer
plan
for
our
youth
talking
to
a
lot
of
the
nonprofit's
who
are
struggling
right
now,
because
a
fundraising
piece
of
it
particularly
a
lot
of
them
in
this
spring?
Fundraising
efforts
in
the
spring
galas
were
all
canceled,
so
they're
struggling.
B
But
we
all
know
that
once
you
know
school's
out,
kids
are
going
to
need
things
to
do
and
if,
if
they
don't
find,
mischief
mischief
will
find
them,
as
they
say
so,
making
sure
that
they
have
opportunity
access
to
opportunity
access
to
summer
job
programs
an
opportunity
to
make
two
bucks
stay
off
the
corners,
etc
and
maybe
learn
skill
set
and
get
inspired.
That's
what
this
is
all
about,
so
happy
to
lend
any
air
here
and
also
shoulder
into
keeping
as
many
of
our
kids.
B
C
You
councillor
Flaherty
I,
think
I've
heard
from
all
my
car,
our
colleagues
city
councillors,
so
with
that
said,
we
will
move
on
to
our
panelists
the
smart
this
afternoon.
The
first
panel
is
our
youth
panel
and
we
have
Nica
Nakia
Charles
and
Alondra
bod
bag
dealer
I
apologize
if
I
mispronounced
your
names
with
Nakia
Nakia
like
to
begin.
C
P
P
P
P
Firstly,
to
answer
the
question
about
you:
jobs
I,
find
you
jobs
very
important
if
I
community
and
other
community
I
first
found
out
about
successfully
as
in
a
career
at
my
youth
programs
called
st.
Stephen's
youth
programs.
This
is
located
in
Boston.
They
see
these
youth
programs
offers
hundreds
of
jobs
in
the
summer
and
throughout
the
school
year,
since
it
is
an
after-school
program
during
the
school
year
and
it's
a
summer
program
throughout
the
summer.
P
There's
in
the
past,
you've
had
like
six
sites
throughout
the
city
and
hundreds
of
little
kids
from
the
city
teens
ages,
from
from
12
13,
have
baked
parts
of
speech
a
program,
a
junior
counselor
in
training,
and
also
you
have
teams
like
that
either
committed
to
community
organizing
or
committed
lead,
counselors
in
training,
and
then
you
also
have
other
leads
that
watch
over
all
the
kids.
That's
why
I
also
find
the
importance
to
increase
the
budget
students
or
young
adults
who
are
around
the
ages
of
19
and
22
also
have
employment
from
success.
P
Think
also
because
that
they're
living
today
we're
all
trying
to
be
successful,
but
to
continue
how
high
success
being
impacted,
like
students
like
me,
have
the
opportunity
of
hearing
of
having
jobs
at
a
young
age
and
saving
for
up
for
colleges
or
any
of
the
expenses
that
we
have
to
make
do.
In
my
experience,
I've
had
to
pay
for
those,
and
other
students
have
had
to
pay
for
bills,
but
we
also
as
a
city
of
Boston.
P
Leave
has
held
me
as
an
individual
with
paying
expenses
with
my
mom
or
expensive
for
my
grandmother,
because
health
care
is
expensive
and
with
with
the
housing
in
Boston
situation,
we
do
have
to
deal
with
gentrification
in
our
city,
and
a
lot
of
students
also
have
dealt
with
homelessness
in
their
city.
So
it's
important
that
success
thing
and
also
youth
jobs,
youth,
employment,
youth
resources
are
there
and
to
continue.
P
I
would
like
to
say
that
lots
of
students
in
Boston
have
dealt
with
poverty
and
dealing
with
that
trauma
from
poverty
dealing
with
the
background
of
over-policing
or
with
the
background
of
students
in
your
classroom
having
to
have
it,
most
importantly,
not
get
eligibility
of
seeing
their
next
day.
For
me,
throughout
this
quarantine,
I
lost
somebody.
P
Her
name
is
ELISA.
Just
like
councillor
Campbell
was
talking
about.
I,
also
see
Mashhad.
Here
me
and
Rashad,
your
niece
winter.
We
played
basketball
on
the
same
team
and
ELISA
was
also
on
that
team.
So
you
jobs
is
very
important
to
me
and
also
youth
mental
health
wellness.
During
st.
Stephen's,
we
were
able,
as
students
were
able
to
get
paid
general
quarantine,
but
it
consisted
of
show
programs,
so
we
had
mental
health
checkups.
P
We
had
college
and
career
developing
because,
most
importantly,
that
helped
me
with
since
I
am
I
was
a
junior
and
I'm
rising.
I
need
an
SAT
help
things
like
opening,
if
it
to
me
that,
often
as
they
wish
they
could
and
through
st.
Stephens
I
bought
the
college
and
career
I
met
with
professionals
that
were
in
the
interest
of
my
job.
I
also
met
with
other
team
staff,
who
were
able
to
give
me
daily
checkups
throughout
this
mental
health
learners,
because
we
don't
have
that
much
teachers
checking
in
on
their
students.
P
So
it's
it's
very
notable
that
you
have
a
student
that
can
contact
at
least
a
mentor
or
somebody
else
that
they
came
to
talk
to
continue
along
with
that.
We
also
had
like
social
events.
We
had
Netflix
parties
where
students
could
just
have
the
time
to
just
take
a
breather,
because
this
is
quarantine.
A
lot
of
people
are
stressing
out,
but
to
just
make
sure
that
our
students
are
doing
well
at
home
and
to
continue
along
with
my
youth
journey.
P
That
bill
was
finally
passed.
That
I
was
alright
when
I
was
a
freshman
in
high
school.
It
was
me
and
a
lot
of
other
young
organizers
committing
our
days
after
school
to
make
sure
to
go
to
Statehouse
talk
to
our
senators
like
17
Diaz
in
supporting
her,
but
that
was
like
on
a
daily.
So
this
is
a
passion
of
mine
making
change
for
my
communities.
Yes,
I
love,
helping
students,
but
I
also
love
making
change
for
their
futures,
and
that's
why
the
job
is
also
important
to
me.
Nakia.
C
Q
Of
course,
of
course,
thank
you
thank
you
to
the
chair.
My
name
is
Allen
Leavell
Aditya
I'm,
the
city
of
Boston's,
youth,
poet,
laureate
as
well,
a
woman
as
well
as
one
of
Julia
Mejias
youth,
liaisons
I'm,
a
resident
of
Hyde
Park
I
would
go
to
Fenway,
High,
School
and
I'm.
A
rising
senior
I
think
it's
important.
You
know
to
open
up
Success
link
as
well
as
other
you
know,
summer.
Q
Programs
to
a
broader
age
range,
I
think
doesn't
right
now
from
what
I
remember,
I
haven't
been
able
to
get
a
success
link
job
but
I've
applied
through
success.
Link
I
believe
the
age
range
right
now
is
like
14
to
19
something
along
those
lines,
15
to
19
and
I.
Think
opening
that
up
as
well
as
providing
other
types
of
programming
that
are
not
necessarily
jobs
within
themselves,
would
be
incredibly
beneficial.
Q
The
people
preparing
my
food
or
youth,
the
people
that
I
see
protesting
our
youth
and
I
think
that
when
we
think
about
youth
opportunities,
I
feel
that
we
need
to
open
up
more.
Especially
during
this
time
and
I.
Hope
that,
because
of
these
obstacles,
we
would
be
able
to
open
up
more
opportunities
as
a
whole.
Q
Whether
it
is
opening
up
more
opportunities
for
youth,
civic
engagement
and
youth
activism
engagement
because
we're
seeing
that
that's
what
they're
interested
in
or
whether
it
is
just
providing
more
opportunities
for
them
to
get
involved
in
ways
that
they
in
ways
that
they
are
that
they
are
able
tapping
in
again,
like
I,
said
so
their
potential
to
their
gifts
to
their
talents.
I
think
now,
more
than
ever,
I
know
a
lot
of
youth
who
are
involved
in
things
that
have
to
do
with
the
streets.
Q
Youth,
not
necessarily
just
to
death,
but
just
to
illicit
activity
on
the
streets
and
I
know
that
that's
not
something
that
any
of
us
want
to
see
again.
Thank
you
guys
for
I,
appreciate
being
invited
to
to
speak
here
and
then
provide
complimentary
and
I'm
excited
to
see
what
solutions
the
city
have
proposed
on
helping
our
youth
and
keeping
them
engaged
and
keeping
them
safe
over
the
summer
and
beyond.
Thank
you.
Thank.

I

If
I've
mispronounced
your
names.
Would
you
folks,
from
the
administration
like
to
and
open
up
the
next
panel,
make
your
testimony
I
think
we'll
stick
to
five
minutes
if
possible
and
to
keep
things
moving.
I'll
just
set
my
timer
great.
R
Thank
You
chairwoman,
if
I
will
go
ahead
and
get
started
and
I
will
turn
the
floor
to
Raja
so
good
afternoon.

Arroyo,

name
nor
America
and
I.
Am
the
director
of
business
strategy
for
the
mayor's
office
of
economic
development
before
I.
Discuss
this
in
water
I
will
be
remiss
if
I
am
not
to
reiterate
the
message
that
we
have
heard
continuously
from
a
mayor
about
the
importance
of
the
jobs.
R
Just
this
morning
he
announced
an
additional
investment
of
4.1
million
dollars.
That's
4.1
million
dollars,
making
our
total
investment
into
youth
employment
engagement
to
eleven
point,
nine
million
dollars
close
to
12
million
dollars,
and
just
this
is
just
a
city
funding
and,
as
many
of
you
know,
every
year
we
also
get
state
funding
the
line
item
youth
works.
So
we
hope
to
continue
to
allocate
with
our
state
friends,
and
we
hope
that
you
will
join
us
in
advocating
for
funding
from
our
state
as
well.
R
So,
over
the
past
five
years,
mayor
Walsh
has
invested
in
summer
jobs,
particularly
on
evaluating
through
our
randomized
control
evaluation
study
in
partnership,
Northeastern
University,
and
we
want
to
know
what
more,
what
works
and
less
of
what
doesn't
work
so
that
you
are
you
taking
used
summer
jobs
as
a
platform
for
future
success.
Research
shows
that
youth
for
participating
summer
jobs
had
improvements
in
soft
skills.
So
this
is
what
counselor
camp
alluded
to.
They
had
increased
self
efficacy
confidence.
R
Nikki
Allison
mentioned
the
mentorship
importance
of
that.
So
the
soft
skills
development
are
linked
to
30%
reduction
in
violent
and
property
crime,
and
this
impact
followed
18
months
after
the
program
ended.
We
also
have
no
increment
in
academic
aspirations.
We
also
saw
improvement
in
job
reading
skills,
counselor
Mejia,
you
mention
about
work,
ethic,
career
exploration
and
we
saw
a
30%
increase
in
wages
subsequent
after
summer
jobs
program,
and
these
impact
were
seen
largely
for
youth
of
color.
So
this
is
very
encouraging.
R
In
addition
to
that,
you
know,
Nikia
I
mean
here
we
have
mentioned
summer.
Jobs
provide
important
economic
benefits
to
youth
and
their
families.
Over
50%
of
you
said
they
use
the
money
to
help
their
household
bills
in
one
in
five
said
they
use
money
for
to
see
for
college
tuition,
so
the
impact
of
youth
summer
jobs
cannot
be
overstated.
So
it
is
for
this
reason
why
the
mayor
has
prioritized
use
summer
jobs
during
kovat
19
in
the
white.
They
will
continue
to
be
a
focal
point.
R
You
know
recovery
in
reopening
effort,
moving
forward
for
the
city
of
Boston.
So,
as
many
of
you
know,
due
to
the
impact
over
nineteen,
we
expect
to
lose
some
of
the
summer.
Jobs
are
available
in
the
past,
so
these
include
summer
camps.
They
care
some
of
the
hospital
jobs
are
no
longer
available
and
we
are
projecting
losses
up
to
forty
percent
from
the
past
year.
So,
despite
this
challenge,
mayor
Walsh
is
very
much
committed
to
bringing
as
many
young
people
that
we've
hired
a
past
as
possible.
Eight
thousand
to
be
exact.
R
Many
of
you
have
already
seen
the
press
release
today
and
Rishabh
will
go
into
more
details
on
what
our
plan
looks
like.
So,
since
the
start
of
coving
19.
In
order
for
us,
the
closest
job
gap
that
we're
projecting
that
we're
going
to
lose,
the
city
has
identified
hundreds
of
creative
job
opportunities,
engaging
opportunities
for
young
people
during
convey
Cove
8:19.
These
include
jobs
in
our
city
departments,
but
also
our
partners
in
nonprofit
Cooney
partners.
You
mentioned
higher
education
institutions.
R
They
will
all
play
a
role
in
stepping
up
to
create
these
jobs
together
for
young
people.
We
have
also
convened
a
weekly
summer
jobs
meeting
with
our
stakeholders
that
collectively
we
hire
8,000
young
people
so
that
our
efforts
can
be
coordinated
and
reach
to
8,000
number
collectively.
So
these
include
invention,
many
of
them
already
ABCD.
They
serve
use
from
14
to
21
year
old
they're,
the
only
one
that
serves
14
year
old
among
their
providers,
Boston
private
industry
council.
R
They
serve
for
16,
plus
bps
students,
primarily
in
the
private
sector,
John
Hancock,
MLK
Scholars
youth
options,
unlimited
that
serve
primarily
core
gang
volume.
People
in
our
own
youth,
employment
engagement
department,
headed
by
Rashad
coke
we've,
also
had
a
number
of
committee
listening
sessions
where
over
400
of
our
nonprofit
partners
residents,
parents
students
have
come
together
to
share
their
ideas
on
what
the
summer
job
can
look
like.
You
did
a
challenge
at
copĂ¡n
19.
S
Thank
You
Midori
councillor,
Bremen,
hello,
I,
think
they
have
today
to
all
the
other
counselors
that
are
joining
us
today.
Thank
you
for
having
me
here
as
well.
I'm
gonna,
be
very
brief,
so
that
we
can
just
have
more
time
to
answer
some
of
the
questions
that
may
be.
That
folks
may
want
to
ask
today,
before
I
jump
into
on
plans.
You
know
I
definitely
want
to
make
sure
that
our
City
counselors
and
our
young
people
that
are
joining
us
today.
I'm
just
know
that
we
share
in
the
sentiment.
S
You
know
that
you've
jobs
are
important.
We
know
youth
jobs,
you
know,
create
quality
experiences
of
young
people.
It
has
been
our
priority
to
make
sure
that
we
are
looking
at
our
jobs
through
a
quality
lens,
and
we
know
that
youth
jobs
opens
the
door
to
future
career
opportunities
as
well.
So
our
work
everyday
is
driven
by
the
fact
that
we
understand
the
benefit
of
youth
jobs.
I.
Think
myself
and
Rufus
is
here
as
well.
S
We
we
grew
up
in
the
Roxbury
area,
and
you
know
we
are
beneficiaries
of
the
summer
jobs
program
through
the
city
and
we
understand
the
impact
that
that
program
has
had
on
our
childhood.
Thus,
the
impact
it
has
on
young
people
today
so
definitely
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is.
You
know
mentioned
that
we
do
share
in
that
sentiment.
S
You
know,
as
we
continue
to
discuss
youth
opportunities
across
Boston,
so
definitely
want
to
make
sure
that
you
all
know
that
the
city
you
know
just
folks
in
your
communities
appreciate
you
appreciate
the
voice
that
you
guys
are
lending
on
behalf
of
other
young
people,
in
your
schools
and
in
your
neighborhoods.
So
thank
you
both
for
your
continued
leadership
and
advocacy
in
terms
of
our
summer
jobs
plan.
So
our
summer
jobs
plans,
you
know,
will
be
happening
pretty
much
in
three
areas.
There
will
be
virtual
and
online
engagement.
S
There
will
be
safe
on-site
employment
opportunities
that
will
continue
to
be
guided
by
Public
Health
guidelines
and
social
distancing,
and
then
there
will
be
opportunities
connected
to
sunlight.
So
asthma
Barry
mentioned
we
anticipated
a
gap
in
jobs,
and
this
was
probably
early.
We
anticipated
a
gap
or
a
loss
in
summer
jobs,
so
we
have
worked
very
collectively
across
the
board
with
the
intermediaries
that
have
been
mentioned
already
and
in
partnership
with
office
of
workforce
development
ins
play
an
incredible
role
and
helping
us
really
think
about
how
do
we
fill
this
anticipated
Gavin
jobs?
S
So
what
we're
looking
at
for
this
upcoming
summer
is
we're
looking
at
five
primary
bucket
areas,
so
the
first
bucket
area
will
be
our
standard
summer
jobs,
so
those
will
be
the
standard
jobs
pre-code
with
19,
so
those
are
150
plus
on
community-based
organizations
that
success
link
has
partnered
with
over
the
previous
years.
Those
will
be
the
community-based
organizations
on
that
pick
has
partnered
with
that
CES
partnered,
with
the
MLK's
College
has
partnered
with
so
those
standard
job
opportunities.
S
A
portion
of
them
will
continue
into
this
summer
and
in
fact,
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
we
saw
more
community-based
organizations,
step
up
and
say:
hey.
We
didn't
think
we
can
do
this
before.
We
know
we
can
do
this
now,
so
that
will
continue
and
then
additionally,
we
have
worked
together
to
create
four
new
tracks
of
job
opportunities,
so
the
first
track
is
Boston
blue
shirts
program
and
that
program
is
essentially
to
create
beautification
on
projects
for
young
people
across
the
city.
S
That
is
a
partnership
with
the
parks,
department
and
Public
Works
I'm
able
have
stepped
up
to
say.
Yes,
we
can
support
young
people
in
summer
jobs.
The
next
track
is
on
p2p
attract
the
peer-to-peer
track
essentially,
will
help
engage
young
people
on
our
public
relations
and
public
and
the.
S
Track
is
to
put
young
people
at
the
forefront
of
this
pandemic
because
we
want
to
hear
how
the
pandemic
has
impacted
other
people,
but,
more
importantly,
we
want
to
see
how
young
people
a
healthy
move
awesome
forward
and
through
the
pandemic,
the
third
track
on
a
virtual
option.
So
those
a
virtual
courses
where
students
can
learn
various
skills.
A
S
Then
the
fourth,
the
fourth
track,
will
be
career
and
post-secondary
education
will,
where
young
people
will
engage
and
college
credit
bearing
courses
across
these
fit
urban
college
of
Austin
RCC,
and
those
courses
will
focus
on
tech,
creative
economy
in
human
service
field
I'm.
So
that's
those
have
been
the
discussions
that
we've
had
thus
far
about
summer
jobs,
we're
pretty
confident
that
we
are
in
a
really
good
place
on
today,
going
into
next
month
to
make
sure
that
we
so
I'll
stop
there.
Thank
you.
T
Good
afternoon
counselors
good
afternoon,
Nakia
and
Alondra,
my
name
is
dr.
Rufus,
J,
Fogg,
director
of
public
safety
for
the
mayor's
office,
and
largely
why
I'm
here
is
just
to
stress
the
importance
of
a
collaborative
effort
and
collaboration
internally.
That's
what
the
city
of
Boston
that
that
has
been
our
sort
of
foundational
linchpin
for
all
that
our
efforts,
ensuring
that
internally,
whether
it
be
with
with
bps
bphc
soar,
Boston,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
helping
to
identify
those
young
people
who
traditionally
would
not
be
aware
of
what
current
opportunities
are
existing
for
them.
T
Though
those
are
the
disengagement,
people,
those
are
the
gang,
involve
young
people,
making
sure
that
we
are
pulling
them
into
the
system,
ensuring
that
we
are
Express
expressing
and
expanding
opportunities
and
expressing
to
them
that
they're,
not
just
individuals
that
we
look
at
in
the
summer
as
nuisances,
they
are
young
people
that
we
view
as
having
the
most
agency
to
address
gang
violence
within
our
community.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
wrapping
our
arms
around
them
and
we're
doing
so
in
a
collaborative
approach.
T
So
we
also
have
external
partners
whether
it
be
duis
or
work
with
the
Suffolk
County
DA's
office,
but
they're
with
their
juvenile
diversion
program
to
help
identify
young
people
that
are
in
need
of
additional
support
and
also
can
be
put
through
our
city
of
Boston
Youth,
Employment
Program.
So
just
on
our
win,
we're
just
trying
to
stress
the
fact
that
this
is
a
collaborative
effort,
but
I
think
one
thing
that
we
have
to
get
get
to
also
is
that
I
was
listening
to
Nikki
and
in
a
larger,
speak
and
I
know.
T
Rashad
could
speak
to
this,
but
we
were
those
young
people
20
years
ago
we
were
those
youth
advocates.
We
were
those
folks
who
had
those
summer.
Jobs
and
I
won't
speak
for
Rashad,
but
once
I
aged
out
of
the
summer
job
program,
it
appeared
that
the
city
in
which
I
knew
a
love
did
not
wrap
their
arms
around
me
to
try
to
find
a
place
for
me
to
try
to
find
an
opportunity
for
me
to
be
successful
and
I.
T
Think
in
our
time,
within
this
administration,
we've
tried
to
eliminate
that
that
sort
of
gap
that
exists
where
we're
not
wrapping
our
arms
around
the
talent
that
we
do
have
and
they're.
Not
the
talent
that
the
city
has
poured
into
then
goes
to
other
cities
to
be
successful.
So
I
think
as
a
group.
How
do
we
get
to
the
point
where
our
homegrown
talent
could
feel
like
there's
an
avenue
for
them
to
be
successful,
that
once
they
go
to
school
and
all
come
back
to
school
or
age
out
of
high
school?
T
We
have
real
pathways
for
them.
So
I
think
with
the
career
tracks
that
Rashad
laid
I
was
showing
how
we're
sort
of
morphing
our
thinking
to
more
career
paths
and
not
just
busy
work
around
summer
jobs,
but
around
how
we
building
real
substantive
skill
sets
and
helping
I
know
people
figure
out
what
their
place
in
this
city
is
going
to
be
so
in
terms
of
office
of
public
safety.
T
We're
we're
more
in
a
supportive
role
around
this
employment,
but
we're
making
sure
that
we're
helping
to
pull
all
of
our
internal
and
external
partners
together
to
make
sure
that
every
young
person,
not
just
the
ones
who
are
attached
to
community-based
organizations
or
attached
to
other
groups,
have
access
to
the
jobs.
But
those
young
people
who
aren't
currently
engaged
also
had
those
accesses.
So
that's
our
efforts
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
in
particular
around
public
safety
or
any
of
our
sort
of
approaches
that
we're
sort
of
initiating
during
the
summer.
Thank.
C
D
Yes,
Thank
You,
counsel,
Brennan,
and
thank
you
all
for
the
testimony
in
your
hard
work,
of
course,
and
thank
you
to
the
young
ladies
for
your
powerful
testimony
and
for
participating
I
wanted
to
thank
you
at
the
beginning,
I
neglected
to
do
that.
So
my
bag
really
appreciate
you
guys
taking
the
time
to
to
speak
candidly
about
this
work
and
how
important
it
is,
but
also,
more
importantly,
to
share
just
what's
happening
with
you
as
young
people
during
this
really
hard
time.
So
thank
you.
D
D
The
second
is
any
updates
on
the
age
range
piece
and
sort
of
expanding
opportunities
for
those
who
were
older.
Also
for
those
who
are
gang
involved
right.
Rufus
we've
been
talking
about
that
quite
a
bit.
What
does
expansion
of
the
program
to
different
demographics?
Look
like
the
mental
health
piece
councillor
Mejia
talked
about.
It
is
critical.
D
We've
been
separately
in
partnership
with
councillor
sabi
George,
talking
about
the
mental
health
piece
and
expanding
access
for
providers
to
reach
our
young
people
in
particular.
What
are
employers
doing
in
that
space?
If
anything
at
all?
How
might
they
work
in
partnership
with
you
guys,
as
well
as
the
Health
Commission
sort
of
that
intake
process,
the
check-in
piece,
not
just
once,
but
throughout
the
summer?
What
does
that
look
like
and
then
my
last
question?
My
fourth
one
is:
there's
a
you
know:
Rashad,
you
mentioned
120
plus
organisations
as
a
percentage
that
are
like.
D
Yes,
it's
come
back
and
I
think
they
had
to
sort
of
assess
what
they
could
do
curious.
What
that
percentage
is
and
so
of
that
percentage
of
the
returning
are
we
meeting
the
needs
of
our
young
people?
Where
might
be
the
gaps
be
you
know
there
might
be
a
hundred
young
people
requesting
jobs?
Can
you
speak
a
little
bit
to
those
those
gaps
and
what
those
percentages
might
be
and
I
can
wait
for
the
next
round?
Thank
you.
S
Sure
so
Midori,
if
you
want
to
just
tackle,
if
you
have
any
of
the
data
from
the
partner
survey,
I'll,
take
that
back
to
you
so
I'll
kind
of
just
jump
down
to
the
last
three
or
so
questions.
And
then,
if
you
have
any
of
that
data,
midoriya
two-prong,
share
that
oh
I'm,
so
very
quickly
in
terms
of
just
job
opportunities,
or
you
know
just
premium
rich
young
people,
as
Rufus
mentioned.
S
You
know
we
are
working
with
soar,
so
there
are
some
job
opportunities
counter
Campbell
that
will
be
that
soar
will
be
hosting
I
can
get
you
that
exact
number,
but
we
have
an
intention
about
making
sure
that
we
are
supporting
the
efforts
of
the
VCS
or
program,
and
then
we
are
also
providing
jobs
to
the
community
service
bureau
through
the
Boston
Police
Department
as
well.
So
there
are
some
job
opportunities
in
which
some
of
those
folks
in
community
mural
are
connecting
with
young
people
to
engage
them
in
summer
opportunities.
S
S
They
actually
they
have
this
really
incredible
initiative.
It's
called
a
cool
challenge,
the
Koch
channel
and
John.
You
know
it's,
it's
a
curriculum
that
helps
engage
young
people
to
deal
with
stress.
You
know
instill
a
mid-table
challenges,
so
you
know
we're
working
with
them,
see
how
we
can
incorporate
that
into
the
summer
jobs
program.
And
then
you
know
in
terms
of
the
number
of
partners,
yes
120
or
so
partners.
N
R
Great
and
I
can
respond
to
the
question
on
the
survey
results,
so
we
got
over
200
responses
from
employers.
Many
oh,
then
lon.
We
gotten
some
from
private
sector
as
well,
and
this
was
distributed.
Think
early,
April
I
want
to
say
when
this
whole
Cove
in
19m
was
ramping
up
and
we
wanted
to.
We
came
together,
ABCD
pick
MLK
scholar,
y-o-u
and
said
we
have
to
come
up
with
contingency
plan
right
because
we
were
all
committed
to
summer
jobs
program.
R
We
want
to
do
as
many
engagement
opportunities
as
possible,
but
what
is
what
it
would
be,
the
barriers
where
the
city
can
help.
You
know
how
many
jobs
we
can
project
to
lose
and
the
forty
percent
number
that
I
mentioned
earlier
of
the
loss.
That's
directly
came
from
the
survey
right.
We
just
flatly
asked
like
how
many
jobs
are
able
to
provide
for
young
people
this
summer
and
we
saw
a
reduction
in
forty
percent
of
the
jobs.
They
said
they
were
not
available.
The
other
questions
that
we
asked
was
you
know
around.
R
You
know
what
would
be
helpful.
You
know
in
terms
of
support
remote
work,
a
lot
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
that
was,
you
know
they
need
a
guidance,
also
the
best
practices
on
engaging
people.
You
know
during
virtual
work.
They
also
need
access
to
technology,
so
Chromebook
Wi-Fi
right
asked
around.
If
bps
students
can
continue
to
keep
the
Wi-Fi
Chromebooks,
which
we
believe
they
can
continue
over
the
summer.
So
I'm
we're
happy
to
share
the
survey.
Adults
with
you
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
were
happy
to
answer
further
questions.
R
D
T
Your
older
population
I
know
we
sat
in
a
meeting
around
this
time
last
year.
Just
showed
the
median
age
of
the
homicide.
Victims
are
about
thirty
years
old,
and
since
then,
we
have
sort
of
really
tried
to
be
intentional
about
ensuring
that
we
were
increasing
opportunities
for
that
24
plus
population,
recognizing
that
those
same
individuals
that
we
worked
with
in
2006
when
I
was
16
and
17
still
we're
having
issues
around
trying
to
get
their
lives
on
track
when
they
were
29
and
30
years
old.
T
So
that
was
again
with
the
existing
program
in
operation
exit,
but
it
was
also
with
increased
funding
that
came
from
BPD
and
some
of
the
sort
of
great
opportunities
that
you
had
that
that
you
worked
worked
on
in
terms
of
with
the
council
and
we've
also
talked
about.
How
do
we
expand
on
our
existing
operation
exit
program
to
be
more
of
a
year-round
program
and
that's
what
sort
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
for?
Also,
but
it's
still
a
priority.
T
We
still
see
we
just
had
a
young
man
who
was
who
was
shot
and
killed
him
thirty,
two
years
old,
a
young
man
who
was
one
of
those
guys
we
were
working
with
in
2007
2006.
So
we
recognize
that
when
we
talk
about
youth
and
young
adults
it
we,
we
have
to
sort
of
expand
upon
that
and
recognizing
that
a
lot
of
our
a
lot
of
our
under
30
in
early
30
year.
Old
population
still
needs
a
level
of
assistance
and
support
that
we
need
to
be
intentional
about
providing
so
we've
gotten
better
at
it.
T
But
there's
still
a
lot
more
work.
We
need
to
do
with
that
age,
population,
but
again
with
operation
exit,
but
through
our
partnerships
or
Boston,
a
partnership
with
some
of
our
external
partners.
So
we
are
working
with
roca
and
inner
city
weightlifting
to
make
sure
we're
providing
more
opportunities,
employment
opportunities
for
that
age,
population
that
sort
of
aged
out
of
our
city
programming.
So
we
have
a
pilot
program
like
that.
Coming,
that's
gonna
be
launching
this
summer.
Also,
so
we're
trying
to
be
innovative.
T
L
Yes,
thank
thank
you.
So
much
I
wanted
to
start.
Were
the
young
people
left
off
and-
and
we
heard
you
know
over
and
over
again
the
need
for
additional
opportunities,
so
if
one
of
them
may
want
to
speak
to
that
is
one
additional
opportunity.
The
age
issue
just
to
clarify
I,
don't
know
if
our
young
people
are
still
with
us,
so
the
second
panelist
I
think
it
was
Alondra
spoke
to
the
need
for
additional
opportunities.
She
repeatedly
mentioned
opportunities
was
one
of
those.
L
L
S
G
E
L
An
awkward
pregnant
pause
because
the
answer
is
not
there
is
a
technology,
so
I
just
wasn't
clear.
It's
a
little
delayed
okay,
well,
I'm
gonna
try
to
move
it
along
because
I
don't
want
to
waste
all
my
time.
Technical
difficulties.
I
am
very
interested
in
expanding
the
age
I'm,
also
very
interested
in
having
a
breakdown
of
how
many
of
these
jobs
are
just
summer
versus
how
many
extend
throughout
the
school
year
a
breakdown
by
race,
language
and
neighborhood,
and
then
to
the
point
of
the
older,
older
folks
who
are
still
in
need
of
services.
L
I
want
us
to
do
more
reflection
on
the
intervention
and
prevention
that
we're
doing,
because,
if
we're
doing
it
right,
10
years
later,
they
shouldn't
still
need
this,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
taking
the
time
that
we
need
to
reflect
and
to
figure
out
how
to
adjust
and
learn
in
terms
of
our
processes
and
I.
Think
one
concrete
thing
is
expanding
the
age
beyond
eighteen
or
nineteen
that
could
help
set
folks
up
for
future
success.
L
But
it
is
not
going
to
be
a
continuum
where
we're
able
to
kind
of
take
people
through
all
the
way
through
their
adult
lives,
so
the
more
that
we
can
get
it
right
with
young
people
when
we
have
them
and
interrupt
whatever
cycle
of
poverty
or
violence
or
trauma
in
their
lives
improve,
create
new
opportunities
instead,
I
think
the
better
off
we'll
be
I
would
like
to
break
down
of
what
we
currently
do,
though.
Madam
chair
from
the
administration.
L
S
We
do
have
that
data
and
very
quickly
just
respond
to
the
age,
so
we
do
provide
job
opportunities
to
young
people
between
ages
of
19
and
24,
and
the
young
people
on
the
call
have
increased
in
those
numbers.
Those
jobs
have
been
about
200.
Those
are
increasing
this
summer
as
well,
and
then
back
to
the
40
year
old
population
klenda.
That
was
a
question
I
was
asked
earlier.
S
You
know
we
Midori
mentioned
that
ABCD
does
provide
job
opportunities
to
the
Latino
population
and
on
our
previous
budget
call
I
mentioned
that
BC
YF
has
an
incredible
super
teams
program,
which
is
also
a
pre-employment
programme
for
14
year
olds.
That
does
provide
paid
stipends.
So
our
conversation
is,
you
know
how
do
we
expand
those
opportunities
because
there's
an
incredible
model
that
is
already
in
place
to
support
the
40
year
olds
from
employment
lands?
But
yes,.
L
C
A
G
Go
ahead,
thank
you.
So
just
really
quick
I
really
do
appreciate
having
the
young
people
here
representing
the
youth
perspective
and
the
and
that
boy.
So,
thank
you
so
much
to
you
both
for
so
eloquently
keeping
it
a
hundred
percent
about
the
issues
that
you
need
to
be
looking
at.
I'm
also
curious,
I.
Think
about
young
people
who
are
not
here
as
well,
I
think
about
some
of
my
experiences.
G
G
Falk
in
terms
of
young
people,
and
what
I
have
seen
is
that
very
much
trauma
at
16
you're
showing
up
to
16
year
old,
even
though
you're
rocking
it
in
a
30
year
old
body
right
so
I
think
to
present
council
Janey's
point
in
terms
of
what
are
we
doing
and
how
are
we
assessing
previous
strategy
and
work?
I'd
love
to
know
what
reflections
and
what
I'm
systems
have
been
put
in
place
to
evaluate
work?
That
was
done
before
you
dr.
G
folk,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
these
things
happen
before
you,
but
just
wondering
how
you're
utilizing
lessons
to
kind
of
inform
your
thinking
moving
forward
and
then
the
last
question
of
it
I
want
to
get
some
clarity
on.
Is
that
while
I
do
appreciate
some
of
youth,
employment
and
year-round
employment
opportunities,
I'm
also
curious
about
entrepreneurship,
programming
for
young
people?
G
This
work
that
I'm
holding
right
here
was
produced
by
young
people
from
the
Jackson
man
community
center,
and
they
were
selling
these
here
not
too
long
ago
before
we
got
the
shut
down
and
so
I'm
just
really
curious
about
what
employment
strategy
are
we
looking
at,
so
that
young
people
can
also
have
opportunities
to
become
the
next
wave
of
entrepreneurs,
whether
it
be
opening
up
their
own
small
restaurants?
G
T
S
T
Counsel
me
you're
spot
on
just
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
are
making
sure
that
we
are
engaging
that
population
at
all.
The
time
is
the
most
disconnected
population.
So
that's
where
we
lean
on
our
internal
agencies,
so
Raeleen
on
straw
box,
which
is
our
former
street
worker
program.
They
have
the
caseload.
They
are
working
with
the
young
people
from
those
areas
that
have
the
highest
proclivity
for
either
somebody
be
shot
or
to
shoot
somebody,
so
that
is
I,
don't
have
to
name
the
neighborhood's.
T
We
know
what
neighborhoods
those
are
that
is
all
working
with
bphc
and
ssy
program
that
also
identifies
those
young
people
again
most
likely
to
be
shot
or
to
shoot
someone.
Our
external
partners,
which
is
Roca
and
that's
inner
city
weightlifting
again
we
we
are
working
previously
to
this
year.
A
lot
of
the
work
that
was
done
was
being
done
in
silos.
We
will
all
will
work
with
our
populations.
T
We
were
really
converse
about
who's,
doing
what
who
knows
who,
but
that
has
all
changed,
we're
in
weekly
conversations
with
those
entities
along
with
dys
who
oftentimes
has
that
group
of
young
people
who
were
on
that
next
wave
of
young
people
going
to
be
the
most
active
gang
of
all
dys.
Has
him
early
and
we're
engaging
with
them
while
they're
in
those
lock
facilities?
Sores?
T
Not
so
forgive
me
sometime
DA's
office,
juvenile
diversion
program,
that's
where
we
get
non
young
people
at
as
well,
so
making
sure
that
we're
engaging
those
with
our
external
partners,
we're
also
doing
the
old-fashioned
stuff
in
this
age
of
covert
nineteen
fifties
and
recognizing
the
young
people
that
we
serve
are
concerned
about
covert
19
as
their
first
priority
they're
more
concerned
about
getting
shot
and
that
that's
their
main
priority.
So
they're
still
gonna
convene
at
the
parks.
T
They're
still
gonna,
be
present
on
the
neighborhood,
so
we're
still
making
sure
that
we're
out
there
in
present.
So
it's
I'm
an
old-fashioned
on
the
ground
work
I'm,
an
old
man
now,
but
I
still
do
some
of
that
work,
making
sure
that
we
are
present
in
those
communities.
So
you
know
III
agree
totally,
but
we
are
engaged
in
that
group
cuz
off
the
time
that
group
gets
overlooked
as
being
they're
too
far
gone.
T
We
recognize
that
they're
an
asset
if
we're
trying
to
sort
of
in
this
cycle
of
a
territory
gun
violence,
so
we're
making
sure
we're
present.
But
it's
a
collaborative
effort
and
just
in
terms
of
just
real
briefly
just
lessons
taking
lessons
on
what
happened.
When
I
was
a
kid,
when
I
got
overlooked
for
certain
opportunities,
recognizing
that
roof
is
in,
2020
might
still
get
overlooked.
G
S
Company
here,
in
terms
of
the
entrepreneurial
focus
for
youth
jobs,
there
are
many
about
partners,
have
programming
for
opportunities
around
entrepreneurship,
that
associated
we're
funding
those
young
people
that
are
participating
in
those
programs.
So,
for
example,
Jackson
Community
Center
has
been
incredible
around
entrepreneurship.
Some
of
those
young
people
you
know,
are
funded
through
lease
excessing
program,
so
they
can
get
paid
to
do
the
work
at
Jax,
a
man
around
entrepreneurship.
S
You
know
to
businesses
and
that's
an
entrepreneurial
focus
as
well.
We've
just
entered
into
a
partnership
with
a
possible
project
and
they're
located
in
Cambridge
now
they're
here
when
the
Tanya
so
they'll
be
in
hiring
probably
about
25
young
people
this
summer,
and
they
have
an
incredible
focus
around
entrepreneurship
as
well,
and
then.
Lastly,
we
just
expanded,
we
just
explored
a
conversation,
was
imadori
shop
and
small
business
development
around.
How
do
we
connect
young
people
to
Main
streets
and
small
business
opportunities.
S
So
in
terms
of
trauma-informed
practices,
I,
don't
think
I.
We
have
a
direct
program
and
pleased
I.
Think
for
us
is
thinking
about
training
for
our
sites,
training
for
the
folks
who
are
working
with
young
people
and
bring
in
folks
in
my
bphc
zero
on
who's
doing
the
work,
so
they
can
train
our
partners,
but
we
don't
host
a
kid
as
hard
as
coastal
kids.
So
for
us
as
a
training
piece
now,
how
do
we
provide
more
training
to
the
folks
who
are
employing
the
young
people
of
it?
Thank.
G
You
for
that
and
kind
of
the
Friedan
I'm
also
just
curious,
because
dr.
Gail
is
on
the
phone
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
noticed
that
she
was
also
one
of
the
panelists
and
if
we're
gonna
be
able
to
ask
her
some
questions,
because
she
is
a
clinician
and
worked
with
young
people.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
that
mental
wellness
boy
to
the
mix.
That's.
C
In
the
next
panel
and
I
will,
in
the
interest
on
us,
see
how
we're
doing
for
time
and
in
the
interest
of
time,
are
there
any
of
our
other
counselors?
You
have
a
question
to
ask
at
this
point
in
time
and
we
can
move
on
to
the
third
panel.
If
you
have
no
questions
now
or
if
you
want
to
hold
your
questions
to
later,
we've
still
got
another
panel
just
to
hear
from
I.
I
Thanks
so
much
councillor,
Raiden
I
just
wanted
to
ask
quickly
Rashaad.
So
am
I
right
in
understanding?
What's
your
total
number
of
success
linked
jobs
proposed
for
the
summer.
S
S
I
And
so,
and
normally
we've
been
that
what
was
it
30
yeah.
S
I
Great,
so
we're
doubling
the
jobs
for
the
19
to
24
year
olds
within
success
link
and
then
in
terms
of
getting
to
that,
a
that
8000
number
cuz
I.
Remember
you!
When
you
sent
us
the
when
you
sent
us
an
update
back
in
early
May,
you
know
you
were
trying
to
project,
but
you
didn't
have
all
the
survey
data
in
yet
kind
of
how
many
jobs
were
gonna
lose.
So
it
sounds
like
if
success
link
is
coming
out
at
4000.
You
must
have
gotten
some
more
of
those
jobs
back
from
the
private
side.
S
We've
gotten
more
of
our
CBO
partners
that
originally
said
that
they
probably
couldn't
do
it
early,
April
and
now
say.
Yes,
we
can
do
what
we
have
a
plan
in
place,
so
we
bomb.
So
those
are
the
jobs
that
we've
gotten
back,
not
so
much
from
the
private
septic
I
love.
Midori
talk
speak
more
about
the
private
septic.
Oh,
she
has
more
knowledge
around
that
area,
but
definitely
from
our
CBO
and
more
CBO's
have
said.
Yes,
we
can
take
on
more.
We
can
actually
use
summer
jobs
aside.
R
I
I
And
I
know
that
I
remember
in
the
budget
hearing,
we
discussed
the
fact
that
typically,
our
year-round
jobs
get
funded
out
of
kind
of
what's
left
over
when
the
dust
settles
from
the
summer.
Jobs
I
know
that
the
advocates
have
been
pushing
for
an
increase
on
that
front
as
well,
and
so
I'm
sort
of
wondering
where
your
guys
head
spaces
on
the
ear
around
I
think.
S
To
be
fully
transparent,
our
focus
has
been
really
just
trying
to
get
this
summer
off
the
ground
we've
had,
we
probably
haven't
had
any
conversations
about
on
year-round
jobs,
I'm
pretty
sure
once
were
able
to
Elise
get
young
people
hired
and
get
them
started
in
July.
Then
we
can
begin
to
turn
our
focus
towards
what's
happening.
What
is
who
yes.
I
Yeah
no
I
would
just
want
us
to
be
careful
that,
because,
if
we're
using,
if
some
of
our
money
is
operating-
and
some
of
it
is
cares,
act
since
I
know
a
lot
of
our
year-round,
jobs
will
take
place
in
next
calendar
year.
Just
thinking
about
how
we
arrange
our
money,
such
that
we're
maximizing
what
we've
got
left
over
for
year-round
jobs,
that's
just
a
just
a
budget
flag,
but
yeah
and
and
do
you
and
do
you
guys
think
I
mean?
Do
you
think
we're
on
track
in
terms
of
I
know?
I
S
S
I
All
right,
well
I,
have
more
questions,
but
in
the
interest
of
time
I
know
the
chair
is
trying
to
move
us
through.
So
thank
you
so
much
that
was
helpful
and
I'm
excited
I'm
excited
that
I.
You
know
that
we're
investing
more
money
in
this
and
that
and
also
I
definitely
been
concerned
about
this
issue
of
supervisor
jobs.
You
know
for
older
youth
as
well,
so.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
one
of
the
things
in
councillor
Bach
just
sort
of
extended
upon
that
conversation
that
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
we're
having
whether
it's
now
or
through
the
next
panel,
is
this
idea
of
that
second
batch
of
job,
so
I
think
we
have
a
pretty
good
handle
on
the
amount
and
quality
of
jobs
for
that
younger
age
group.
J
So
for
me
it's
it's
a
really
important
piece
and
one
that
I
think
we
need
to
separate
out
sort
of
just
the
simple
summer
jobs
conversation
because
it
does
relate
to
school
year.
It
does
really
to
year-round-
and
it
is
I,
think
something
that
needs
to
be
evaluated.
It's
more
expensive
because
I
think
that,
as
we
as
a
young
person
ages
with
us
and
follows
us
through
employment
opportunities
that
they
should
have
an
opportunity
to
earn
more
money,
I'm
and
increase
the
skill
set
that
they
are
utilizing
exposed
to
building.
All
of
that.
J
S
Need
to
be
more
intentional
about
creating
career
pathway
opportunities
for
that
a
little
population
I
think
Rufus
touched
on
some
of
that
in
terms
of
his
remarks
on
I.
Do
believe
that
this
is
the
right
folks.
There
may
be
some
other
folks
that
we
can
bring
to
the
table
as
well
to
kind
of
have
this
conversation
who's
doing
some
of
that
work
for
the
older
population
across
the
city.
So
I
agree
with
that,
and
hopefully
we
can
probably
have
that
conversation.
Pretty
soon
can.
T
I
can
I
just
add
that
I
agree
with
you,
counsel
and
I
think
we
really
have
to
talk
about
the
narrative
around
that
population.
Every
thought
about
discuss
the
importance
of
talent,
retention
at
the
Mississippi
abortion,
how
much
talent,
yes
or
yes,
and
in
who
each
sort
of
makes
that
be
the
push
about.
How
do
we
cuz
we've
invested
so
much
in
these
kids
I
was
wondering
why
I
came
back
because
I
felt
like
so
many
and
the
City
Boston
invested
in
me.
I
had
a
duty
to
come
back.
T
So
what
are
we
doing
to
celebrate
and
sort
of
highlight
the
talented,
but
also
opportunity,
while
you
sort
of
train
them
up
and
they
can
sort
of
make
sure
the
next
group
of
workforce?
So
just
a
lot
of
narrative
talk
about
town
of
attention
talking
about
being
in
tension
around
finding
what
pathways
will
be
the
best
ones
for
them?
I.
Think
that,
as
a
group,
we
can
sort
of
change
that
narrative
and
sort
of
Express
the
importance
for
for
Boston's,
best
and
brightest
to
stay
here
and
and
feel
like
they
have
a
place
here.
T
J
That
that's
really
important
work
and
I
think
that
it
should
also
involve
the
office
of
strategic
partnerships
because
I
think
about
some
of
our
institutions,
especially
in
this
city.
I
went
to
bu
for
free
cuz,
my
dad
worked
there
and
while
he
was
a
security,
got
it
bu
here
on
two
masters
degrees
for
free.
So
when
we're
looking
to
also
utilize
some
of
those
relationships,
a
young
person
just
leaving
graduating
from
one
of
our
high
schools,
if
we
can
find
employment,
some
of
these
larger
institutions
that
may
have
college
tuition
reimbursement.
J
Some
of
our
for-profit
private
sector
employers
may
have
tuition
reimbursement
opportunities.
Those
are
all
really
possibly
I.
Think
amazing
relationships
for
us
to
have,
and
you
all
work
should
be
a
part
of
that
I
think
it's
still
the
office
of
strategic
partnerships,
but
there's
a
lot
within
the
city
and
through
partnership
for
our
young
people
and
that
slightly
older
age
group,
because
I
think
that's
a
an
important
demographic,
we're
paying
attention
to.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you,
dr.
J
B
B
Maybe
maybe
it's
a
stepping
stone
to
another
bigger
opportunity
that
could
be
in
a
specific
trade
or
profession
or
an
industry,
but
I
think
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
to
kind
of
put
them
on
the
right
trajectory.
So
that's
kind
of
in
a
nutshell:
how
does
the
hope
line
work,
continued
advocacy
for
year-round
jobs
in
more
with
a
focus
on
the
older
kids?
If
we're
gonna
extend
the
age
that
you
know,
we
do
something
a
little
different
with
those
kids
rent
and
share
programs.
B
B
And
if
you
didn't
clean
your
your
a
lot,
your
vacant
lot,
the
city
would
either
lean
it
or
the
city
would
provide
the
red
shirt
labor
to
clean
those
fields
and
those
lots
and
then
in
turn
the
they
would
charge
the
landlord
or
the
owner
of
the
property
to
pay
for
it.
So
we've
probably
kind
of
moved
beyond
that.
But
if
you
think
about
our
city,
we
boast
the
best
colleges,
universities
in
the
world.
Waterfront
is
booming.
C
S
Yes,
I'll
speak
to
that
council
clarity,
so
the
the
whole
line
has
now
been
called
success.
Link
I,
think
the
whole
I
remember
the
whole
line
many
many
years
ago
and
I
think
the
whole
line
has
changed.
I
think
it's
changed
back
in
2011
or
so
some
way
around
there.
So
it's
been
close
to
a
decade
since
its
transition
from
the
home
line
to
successfully
the.
A
S
That
the
success
link
program
works
is
typically
the
part
of
organizations
that
work
with
young
people
expressed
interest
in
hosting
youth
jobs
after
those
young
people
expressed
interest
in
hosting
new
jobs.
You,
our
team
here
in
the
office,
reviews
those
applications
we
post
those
jobs,
and
then
we
open
up
the
success
link
application
for
young
people
across
the
city
to
review
all
the
job
openings
and
be
able
to
to
apply,
and
what
that
does
is
that
gives
young
people
the
opportunity
to
apply
like
it's
a
real
job.
S
You
know
and
be
able
to
apply
the
jobs
that
they
are
interested
in.
So
that's
how
the
process
works
and
then
our
partners
on
which
the
young
people
are
applying
to
their
jobs.
We
give
them
access
to
the
city's
Ison's
platform
and
those
partners
and
that
the
young
people
that
get
resumes
see
they
are,
and
they
are
able
to
begin
to
make
selections
of
young
people
who
we
then
hire
those
young
people
here
in
our
office
or
employment
program.
H
Thank
You
counsel,
Brayden,
thank
you,
Rasheed
Thank,
You
Rufus,
one
issue,
I've
been
focused
on
as
a
probation
officer
for
ten
years
is,
is
Corey
people
with
Corey's.
It
has
a
terrible
impact
on
getting
employment,
as
we
all
know,
even
even
kids
age.
Seventeen
eighteen
on
is
there
anything
that
we
can
do
as
a
city
to
to
make
it
easier
for
people.
Young
young
people
that
have
a
Corey.
Can
we
do
anything
to
get
them
into
the
workforce,
get
them
into
a
training
program
in
a
quarry
shouldn't.
H
T
So,
actually,
in
partnership
with
office
of
Workforce,
Development,
re-entry
programs,
soar,
Boston
and
offices,
Public
Safety
we're
actually
having
a
a
sort
of
a
webinar
sort
of
series.
Gonna
be
this
Wednesday
discussing
that
very
issue
about
Corey
and
the
impact
on
our
workforce
in
talking
about
the
opportunities
for
expungement
the
opportunity
to
keep
Cory
sealed
because
you're
absolutely
right.
That
is,
that
is
one
of
the
main
obstacles
for
a
lot
of
the
population.
T
That
I
know
that
I
serve
a
sort
of
publish,
never
Ishod,
serves
them
having
a
record
and
them
not
being
able
to
sort
of
access
a
little
square
opportunity,
but
I
think
there's
also
step
that
we
can
take
to
with
some
of
those
external
partnerships
that
we
may
have
as
the
city
to
sort
of
say.
Okay,
you
guys
are
hiring
folks.
Can
you
make
sure
that
you
hire
a
certain
population
of
individuals
with
with
Corey,
so
I
think
there's
there's
ways
we
could
be
innovative,
but
you
only
of
the
council's
about
this
here.
T
This
conversation
we're
having
on
Wednesday
about
the
impacts
of
Cory
and
what
other
opportunities
we
have
around
employment.
How
much
do
I
pass
that
information
to
you?
So
what
we're
thinking
about
it,
but
you're
absolutely
right
as
a
main
obstacle
for
for
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we're
trying
to
do
with
that
oldest
population
and.
S
Not
typically
does
not
turn
these
young
people
that
have
hoards
what
we
typically
do
is,
if
we
find
could
we
do
run
quarries
and
if
we
find
that
he
got
person
does
have
a
quarry.
We
look
to
make
sure
that
we're
placing
them
was
one
of
our
partner
organizations
that
are
able
to
work
with
coordinate
long
game.
H
C
You
Constance
and
I
will
keep
moving.
We
will
go
on
to
panel
3.
We
have
Gil
Crump
swabby
from
Spring
City
College
Boston.
We
have
left
our
D
from
Roxbury
environmental
empowerment
project.
We
have
Susan
young
from
youth,
violence,
prevention,
task
force,
I.
Think,
let's
just
check
everyone's
here
Susan
here
and
then
we
have
this
yeah,
so
I
understand.
Someone
may
have
a
time
limit,
can
I'm
not
sure
which
of
these
panelists
I
have
a
limited
time.
C
C
C
V
But
I
think
my
video
short
I'm,
not
quite
sure
so
good
afternoon,
come
to
the
Braden
and
the
rest
of
the
counselors
who
are
here.
I
my
name
is
dr.
Gail
from
Phoebe
I
am
an
associate
professor
for
Springfield,
College
and
I
also
have
a
group
practice
that
provides
clinical
treatment
in
the
city
of
Boston,
primarily
located
in
Dorchester
of
Massachusetts.
I
have
had
several
years
of
experience
working
with
young
people,
one
of
my
first
one
of
many
jobs
within
the
city
of
Boston
was
working
for
a
particular
health
center.
V
The
Dimmick
Center,
where
I
ran
a
youth
program
for
primarily
prevention,
where
we
provided
as
a
matter-of-fact
employment
for
many
young
people
and
I.
Remember
specifically,
one
year
when
I
was
in
that
program
there
was
a
high
number
of
violence
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
at
the
time
Mayor
Menino
had
provided
funding
to
the
Dimmick,
and
actually
we,
in
a
matter
of
two
weeks,
we
hired
three
hundred
young
people
to
work
with
in
on
the
Dimmick
Center
campus
and
provided
work
opportunity.
So
not
only
did
we
provide
work
opportunity.
V
The
other
thing
we
did
was
provide
social,
emotional,
wellness
and
well-being
for
those
young
people
too,
as
well.
So
I
am
here
to
support
in
any
way
possible
the
importance
of,
of
course,
employment
as
a
way
to
help
young
people
stay
healthy,
but
and
to
provide
them
with
any
type
of
employment
that
will
support
the
economic
well-being,
but
also
their
social
and
emotional
well-being,
their
concept
of
self
connectedness,
coping
ability
amongst
many
other
things.
V
One
of
the
other
thing
is
that
specific,
affective,
cognitive
and
behavioral
skills
for
young
people
play
a
large
part
in
a
young
person's
personal
and
social
success,
so
providing
opportunities
for
employment,
especially
in
times
like
these
many
young
people
are
affected
by
trauma.
Stress
and
anxiety
and
anxiety,
as
we
know,
is
associated
with
a
number
of
undesirable
intrapersonal
and
interpersonal
characteristics
and
anxiety
can
lead
to
chronic
stress.
So
we
as
the
adults
as
a
way
to
help
reduce
stress
and
anxiety
that
these
young
people
are
already
experiencing.
V
V
So,
in
conclusion,
it's
important
that
we
address,
especially
our
youth,
who
are
also
at
higher
risk
of
our
variety
of
problems
and
risk
can
be
associated,
of
course,
with
school
problems.
Adolescent
suicide,
violence,
school
dropout,
additional
public
health
issues
such
as
abuse,
SDI's,
drug
and
alcohol
use.
Our
youth
need
ongoing
attention
of
professionals
across
all
disciplines.
We
must
employ
the
methods
of
prevention,
which
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
funding
for
the
employment
methods
of
intervention
which
I
have
heard
here.
V
In
terms
of
business
and
community
partnerships,
who
will
employ
these
young
people
and,
of
course
in
our
world,
a
mental
health
world,
we
talk
about
treatment
and
part
of
that
treatment
includes
being
hired
and
participating
in
a
workforce
and
providing
them
with
social,
emotional
well-being
that
can
help
to
improve
the
lives
of
our
young
people.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
U
Yes,
all
right
hello,
my
name
is
neptr
I
go
to
school,
live
and
used
to
live
in
the
neighborhoods
of
Dorchester,
Mattapan,
High,
Park
and
Roxbury.
If
you
want
to
find,
you
can
find
me
in
one
of
those
neighborhoods,
the
organization
I
organized
with
is
reap
Roxbury
environmental
empowerment
project.
Today's
hearing
is
about
ifs,
assessing
is
ready
for
summer
jobs.
This
year
more
than
ever,
we
need
to
expand
a
jobs
program
and
we
tried
more
than
a
month
ago
to
accessing
changes,
but
they
said
no
to
all
our
demands.
W
U
We
ask
them
to
high
14
euros
and
they
said
no
I
think
it's
never
too
young
for
people
to
learn
or
start
a
working
experience.
They
said
ABCD
high
as
14
euros,
and
but
they
have
a
lot
of
restrictions,
including
income
requirements,
and
it
will
provide
as
many
jobs
assessing
needs
to
hire
14
euros.
We
ask
them
to
hire
19
to
22
euros
and
they
said
no,
even
as
assessing
is
hard
to
find
a
job.
U
It's
right
after
high
school,
some
people
don't
in
the
buna
college
or
school,
so
providing
them
with
a
job
can
give
them
more
experience
to
the
next
couple
years.
So
they
can
go
and
get
a
job.
Man
you
get
finding
a
job
nowadays
is
hard.
We
asked
for
more
grants
and
they
said
they'll
think
about
it.
Then
they
said
no.
We
want
to.
We
want
you
to
provide
more
grants
to
community
groups.
So
with
those
grants
community
can
hire
young
people
who
don't
fit
the
state
requirements.
It
would
let
organisations
take
work
off
assessing
plate.
U
U
Some
people
can't
fulfill
requirements
ssink
as
if
we're
basically,
if
you're
talking
basic
hours,
success
link
is
usually
25
hours
if
someone's
working
15
hours
that
cuts
into
their
money,
so
they'll
only
be
paid
less,
and
on
top
of
that
they
have
to
pay
for
food
out
of
their
own
pocket
change
it
to
slide
one
up
alright.
So
we
also
demand
the
the
the
decrease
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
overtime
budget
by
sixty
million
dollars
to
20
million
dollars
or
less
decreasing
the
overall
budget
by
10%
to
three
hundred
and
seventy
two
million
or
less.
U
There
are
other
things
in
this
world
that
need
to
be
funded
like
education
and
shelters,
but
the
Boston
Police
Department
is
not
one
day
blacklist
people
on
their
break
gang
databases
that
is
secretive
and
include
people
who
don't
have
gang
ties.
The
police
department
racially
profiles,
people
and
will
always
be
suspicious
of
people.
Call
it
ever
since
I
attended
the
summer
Leadership
Program
in
a
Roxbury
empowerment,
graduate
environment,
empowerment
project.
It
has
changed
me
a
lot.
U
I
have
gotten
to
witness
firsthand
what
my
community
stands
for
and
how
power
for
the
history
behind
it
is
after
I
joined
these
programs
I
the
courage
to
speak
up
more,
especially
on
these
issues.
I
looked
at
I
looked
at
you,
calm,
youth
jogs
differently,
because
it
turned
a
young
person
like
me,
who
used
to
be
shy
into
someone
with
a
little
fire
in
him.
This
is
Wow,
always
fully
being
a
favour
of
supplying
and
having
more
youth
jobs
into
funding
the
police
department.
Thank
you.
Thank.
W
Thank
you
so
much
so
as
that
sort
of
said
where
we
are
in
support
of
defunding
the
police
by
10%
and
given
15
million
dollars
to
fund
5,000
summer
jobs
and
a
thousand
year-round
jobs
for
youth
neck
slide.
Please
all
right.
So
this
is
a
chart
of
the
city
budget
for
the
2020
to
2021
cycle.
As
seen
here,
while
youth
jobs
only
makes
2.2
percent
of
the
city's
budget,
14.8%
spend
on
our
Police
Department
an
entire
two
point:
sixty
percent
of
their
budget
alone
is
allocated
for
overtime.
W
W
However,
despite
this
disparity,
the
city
still
doesn't
use
the
whole
budget
allocated
for
youth
jobs,
as
shown
on
the
Left
graph.
1.8
million
dollars
have
gone
unspent
from
youth
jobs
and
I've
gone
into
the
city's
reserves.
Meanwhile,
10
million
extra
dollars
have
been
spent
on
the
police
overtime
budget.
This
money
should
be
long
into
youth
jobs,
so
we
need
to
define
the
police
and
police
overtime
and
fun
youth
jobs
instead
on
the
next
slide,
please.
W
Furthermore,
in
the
summer
of
2010,
the
boston
youth
fund
provided
3,300
youth
jobs
in
this
summer.
Ten
years
later,
and
in
the
midst
of
a
depression
to
testlink
is
promising
the
same
amount.
So
since
we
haven't
got
many
info
from
successfully
before
to
this
infos
a
little
bit
outdated,
but
this
is
happening
despite
the
use
population,
growth
and
economic
instability.
W
W
Next
slide:
I'm.
Sorry,
thank
you.
When
we
tried
to
meet
with
success
linked
to
improve
these
conditions,
we
were
met
with
much
disappointment,
the
first
time
they
spoke
to
us.
They
stated
that
they
wouldn't
be
increasing
youth
jobs
and
that
they
deny
it
and
they
denied
the
other
changes
requested
though
they
promised
to
me
with
us
again.
We
got
no
response
until
four
emails
and
three
and
a
half
weeks
had
passed.
We
also
asked
the
following
questions,
but
no
data
was
given,
so
these
questions
were
written.
W
Well,
this
somewhat
small
script
is
all
of
the
questions
that
we
have
x
effects
just
like
in
the
past,
but
we
have
gotten
no
response
and
no
data
as
of
yet
on
the
next
slide.
Please
thank
you.
So
our
organize,
because
of
this,
our
organization
has
taken
the
fight
in
our
own
hands.
They've
made
this
website
to
have
organizations
sign
up
to
receive
youth
for
the
summer
and
therefore
to
receive
more:
u
s--,
jobs.
I'd
also
like
to
add
on
that
several
people.
W
Well,
it
has
been
stated
several
times
throughout
this
call
that
not
many
youth
jobs
can
be
given,
because
not
many
youth
are
signing
up,
but
I
can
argue
that
if
we
were
to
increase
the
age
range
from
14
to
22,
we
can
definitely
have
more
people
apply.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
You
is
Susan
young
on
the
call
anyone
from
youth
violence,
prevention,
task
force,
okay,.
C
B
D
Yes,
no
I
do
sorry,
counselor
brand
names
on
mute.
So,
first
of
all,
thank
you
so
much
to
this
panel,
not
only
for
the
level
of
detail
in
the
presentation,
but
also
to
our
young
people
right
for
the
presentation,
the
PowerPoint
in
getting
straight
to
the
facts,
I
think
I
would
like
to
take
much
of
whatever
time
I
have
in
this
round
being
mine
for
the
fact
that
it
is
getting
late.
D
You
know
there
are
questions
in
their
presentation
that
I
would
love
our
administration
to
sort
of
respond
to,
since
it's
rare
that
we
have
everyone
at
the
same
table.
I
put
that
in
quotes.
Obviously,
so
if
folks
could
respond
to
the
two
miss
Charles
and
neptr,
that
would
that
would
be
great,
because
I
think
we're
asking
the
same
questions
around
age
around
expanding
the
amount
of
money
for
jobs,
increasing
the
amount
of
jobs
available,
we're
talking
about
the
police
department,
now
I'm
sitting
with
three
dockets
in
my
committee.
D
Right,
probably
that
won't
go
anywhere
anytime
soon,
as
we
think
about
how
we
redirect
some
of
those
resources
to
what
the
young
people
are
talking
about.
So
if
I
would
like
to
just
sort
of
give
my
time,
councillor
Braden
for
some
of
those
questions
in
the
presentation
to
be
responded
to
by
the
administration.
Thank
you.
Anyone.
C
S
There
were
some
questions,
particularly
around
funding.
I
think
we
spoke
about
that
when
I
call
today
and
how
there
has
been
a
effort
on
the
ground
to
strategize
around
increasing
huge
jobs.
Thus,
you
know
has
allowed
for
us
to
increase
funding
to
youth
jobs.
So
some
of
those
conversations
have
an
answer
today
in
terms
of
the
age
population
as
well.
S
So
that's
so
that's
the
response
about
the
age
in
terms
of
the
budget
from
year
to
year,
I
think
I,
dated
back
to
about
2016
I,
think
you
know
that's
something
that
we
will
need
to
sit
down
and
have
a
conversation
with
budget
to
get
more
information.
You
know
around
some
of
the
data
that's
presented.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
it's
it's
clear
data
and
it's
accurate
data.
So
that
requires
us
to
kind
of
sit
down
and
have
that
conversation
before
we
respond
to
some
of
those
questions
about
budget
from
2000.
S
S
D
They're
currently
so
I'm
curious
to
pull
apart
a
little
bit
more
of
the
conversation
this
morning
around.
You
know
what
was
the
number
before?
What
is
the
number
that
we're
thinking
now
in
terms
of
making?
You
know
what
is
the
number
that
we're
gonna
make
available
for
youth
jobs
and
have
we
opened
it
up
so
that
we've
done
mistis
was
taking
notes,
I
guess
what
are
some
of
the
updates
that
you
heard
this
morning?
Rashad,
because
we
I
don't
know
those
right.
D
So
if
there's
more
a
larger
number
available
now
for
youth
jobs,
that's
fantastic,
I
mean
I
know
this
is
not
directed
at
you
per
se
right
I
know
it
goes
up
to
you.
You
would
have
probably
a
much
sizeable
number
of
our
budget
go
into
these
youth
jobs.
I
know
your
heart
is
there's.
Obviously
you
submit
what
you
can
then
every
department,
and
then
decisions
are
made
right.
S
Sure
so,
in
terms
of
this
summer,
we
typically
have
looked
at
about
3100
jobs
at
youth
and
about
200
of
those
200
jobs
for
19
and
24
year
olds.
This
summer,
with
the
conversations
we
had
with
mayor's
office,
you
know
we're
looking
at
about
4,000
a
little
bit
more
than
4,000
jobs
for
young
people,
which
is
an
increase
and
then
we're
looking
at
close
to
about
400
jobs
for
19
and
24
year
olds.
So.
S
Talk
about
us
filling
that
gap
from
other
agencies
that
will
not
be
even
provide
as
many
jobs.
That's
the
city
stomach
office,
a
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
playing
our
role
and
we're
filling
those
gaps,
because
young
people,
you
know
should
not
be
you
know
they
shouldn't
lose
these
opportunities
because
you
know
other
private
sector
overthrows
on
are
unable
to
provide
job
opportunities.
S
D
S
R
So
you
know
I
think
I
mentioned
my
earlier
marks.
You
know
we're
looking
at
gaps
of
up
to
40
percent
right,
that's
all
Nair,
you
know
and
that's
what
we
projected
and
we
have
set
up.
You
know
over
the
last
eight
weeks
to
just
find
as
many
opportunities
as
possible.
So
at
this
point
in
time
our
gap
is
it's
closed.
Based
on
our
estimate
right
now
on
how
many
jobs
that
we're
gonna
lose
both
in
private
sectors
as
well
as
CBO
jobs,
right
and
I.
Think
your
question,
councillor
Campbell.
R
It
is
also
money
money's,
an
issue,
obviously
always
an
issue.
There's
always
a
more
demand
that
we
can.
You
know
every
every
year,
but
there's
also
issuing
jobs
right.
A
lot
of
the
companies
just
cannot
offer
jobs
that
are
traditionally
available,
aranged
jobs,
a
great
example
right:
there
are
institutions,
Revere
indigenous,
aren't
able
to
they
don't
want
to
bring
in
young
people.
You
know
P
19
and
the
risk
opposes
the
daycare
summer
camps.
You
know
they
are.
R
You
know
the
governor
just
announced
they
are
operating,
but
the
reduced
capacity
right
so
I
think
that's
why
we
have
to
get
think
outside
the
box
and
say
great,
like
now
that
these
jobs
don't
exist
anymore
right.
Let's
talk
to
our
college
partners.
Let's
talk
to
what
other
options
there
are
for
engaging
young
people,
so
the
numbers
will
close
the
gap
both
from
the
private
sector,
as
well
as
from
the
Hawaii
CBO
nonprofit
side
and.
D
I,
just
this
is
just
a
comment
you
know.
Use
us
I.
Think
us
on
the
council.
Side
are
often
saying
to
the
administration
announced
plainly
to
the
mayor.
Use
us.
You
know
we
all
have
relationships
and
are
all
advocates
for
a
large
constituency
across
the
city
and
to
the
extent
we
need
the
private
sector
to
step
up
a
little
bit
more.
The
higher
ed
institutions
and
just
step
up
a
little
bit
more
I.
D
D
How
do
we
help
you
push
more
of
these
institutions
to
come
online
in
terms
of
job
opportunities,
use
us
or
here
to
partner
in
the
work
to
has
made
to
its
main
opportunity,
fill
gaps
happy
to
do
anything
I
can
with
respect
to
that,
thank
you
guys
again
and
thank
you
again
to
our
young
people
for
participating
for
showing
up
and
for
just
being
just
remarkable
advocates
on
behalf
of
yourselves
and,
most
importantly,
all
the
other
young
people
who
can't
participate
in
this
platform.
So
thank
you.
L
L
So,
assuming
that
we're
gonna
lose
40
percent
right,
and
so
we
filled
that
gap,
but
my
question
is
just
for
this
summer
and
what
we
were
thinking,
what
was
the
existing
gap
before
we
started
before
kovat,
because
do
we
meet
each
summer?
What
we
think
the
gap
is
in
terms
of
employment?
My
experience
has
been:
we've
done
all
the
partnerships
that
we've
done
and
here's
the
number
of
jobs
that
it
doesn't
necessarily
meet
the
gap.
L
So
that's
one
question:
are
we
clear
about
what
the
true
gap
is
and
then
the
second
question
would
be
around
pathways
and
partnerships
with
some
other
organizations
that
I
did
not
hear
mention
today
and
kudos
to
all
of
those
who
are
already
partnering
with
the
city.
I
think
that's
great,
but
I'm
interested,
particularly
as
we
are
trying
to
create
pathways
career
pathways
for
folks.
What
kind
of
partnerships
do
we
have
with
like
the
partnership?
L
What
kind
of
relationship
do
we
have
with
like
amplify
or
the
chica
project,
for
example,
as
we
are
trying
to
do
outreach,
but
also
as
we're
trying
to
set
people
up
for
a
pathway,
a
career
pathway
that
goes
beyond
just
summer?
Employment
and
then
I
support
all
of
the
questions
around
entrepreneurship
that
my
colleague
and
sister
and
service
and
co-sponsor
council
Mejia
mentioned
earlier
in
the
first
room.
E
M
S
Career
sector
to
need
something
that'll
be
helpful.
So
in
terms
of
the
gap
you
know,
I,
don't
think
that
we
they're
worth
there
wasn't
any
data
collected
pre-coated
that
really
helped
us
identify
that
a
gap
existed
I
think,
typically,
what
we
have
done
is
we've
looked
at
the
number
of
applicants
that
have
applied
to
successfully,
which
is
about
6,000
every
summer,
and
we
looked
at
the
number
of
young
people
that
we've
employed
through
successfully
intracoastal
3,000.
S
That
3,000
gap
from
3,000
to
600
does
not
mean
that
a
young
person
did
not
get
a
job
and
I
think
that
we
have
to
be
clear
about
that.
That
means
that
there
were
3,000
young
people
then
apply
that
did
not
get
a
job
for
success
link,
but
very
much
so
would
have
work
to
pick
ABCD
MLK
scholars,
because
we
do
see
young
people
apply
to
multiple
intermediaries
for
some.
So
I
think
that
more
data
needs
to
be
collected
to
speak
on
whether
or
not
there's
an
actual
gap.
S
S
L
R
So
you
know
I
think
as
dr.
Faulk
mentioned
earlier,
you
know
we're
really
looking
at
summer
jobs,
it's
a
challenge,
the
Bauman's
strategies
and
that's
why
my
office
officer
work
we're
sorry
that
economic
development
is
involved
in
the
summer
jobs
program,
because
every
year,
when
visit
new
businesses,
new
companies
come
to
Boston
to
set
up
the
headquarter.
You
know
they're
always
looking
right.
We
need
talent
right.
We
need
a
local
talent
to
get.
R
So
that's
why
we
invest
in
an
evaluation
to
say:
hey,
you
know
it's
just
more
than
the
violence
prevention
strategies
right,
it's
building
people's
career
people,
building
people's
aspiration,
a
college-going
culture,
and
we
really
want
to
tap
into
that
and
I
think
one
of
the
concrete
ways
that
you
know
talk
about
a
couple
things
you
know:
we've
done
this
year
is
to
create
the
college
track
for
older
youth
right.
R
So
we
have
450
slots,
that's
450
slots
between
Benjamin
Franklin,
urban
college
and
RCC
for
young
people
to
get
paid
to
take
classes,
college,
bearing
courses
in
creative
economy,
business
and
technology
right.
It's
three
college
credits
and
it
swimming
for
everyone
right,
because
if
they
take
it
they
don't
like
it
right.
Then
they
know
they
don't
want
to
go
to
that
career
field
right
if
they
like
it.
You
know
they're
ahead
of
the
game
and
we
paid
for
that.
R
R
S
S
Quickly,
speak
to
the
Oxford
worship,
and
you
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
in
respondent
to
counsel
Mejia,
that
you
know
we
are
very
much
interested
in
supporting
these
entrepreneurship.
There
are
four
organizations
that
are
providing
entrepreneurial
experiences
and
opportunities
through
summer
jobs
with
young
people.
Our
funding
is
supporting
the
hiring
of
those
young
people
within
those
organizations,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
there
are
more
organizations
that
are
doing
more
work
around
entrepreneurship
as
well.
But
yes,
it's
something
that
we're
interested
in
and
we
will
continue
to
explore
conversations
and
partnerships
that
focus
specifically
around
entrepreneurship.
L
P
L
C
C
G
Here,
oh
no
seriously,
thank
you.
Just
I
have
some
questions
and
all
my
questions
are
for
dr.
Kemp's,
wavy
and
they're
all
in
regards
to
mental
illness
and
trauma
informed
practices.
I
keep
going
back
to
it
because
for
me,
that
is
definitely
what
I
see.
As
we
start
transitioning
back
to
the
workforce.
We
can't
do
that
without
really
having
the
conversation
around
mental
illness,
so
dr.
Krim
slavery.
Thank
you
again
for
hosting
our
weekly
mental
wellness
check-ins
with
young
people.
We
really
do
appreciate
you
being
in
that
space
and
I'm
just
curious.
G
If
you
could
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
things
that
have
come
up
in
our
weekly
check-ins
with
young
people
and
what
are
some
of
the
things
I
do
have
heard
about
moving
into
the
summer
as
Maine
leads
to
Cove
it
and
I'm
just
also
curious.
If
you
can
help
us
understand
how
young
people
can
monitor
their
own
mental.
Well,
health
I'm
just
wondering
what
you
can
share
with
the
administration.
G
Some
of
the
things
that
folks
who
are
in
the
workforce
development
field
can
think
about
in
terms
of
monitoring
our
mental
wellness,
especially
for
those
who
are
suffering
emotional
events.
We
had
survey
leads
to
Kovac
and
other
traumas
that
we've
experienced
on
from
generation
to
generation,
and
then,
lastly,
is
how
would
you
define
what
success
looks
like
in
terms
of
mental
health,
mental
wellness
in
the
workplace?
A
great.
V
Thank
you
thank
you
come
over
here
and
thank
you
again
for
allowing
me
to
be
here
in
this
platform.
As
counselor
may
see
it
Mejia
said
we
have
been
running
a
weekly
mental
wellness
check-in
for
the
young
people,
and
they
have
been
doing
as
a
matter
of
fact.
They
co-host
with
the
young
people
and
they
have
been
doing
an
excellent
job
and
I,
would
I
would
have
to
say
that
doing
that
kind
of
co-hosting
actually
improves
someone
mental
health
and
their
their
well-being.
So
I
just
want
to
say
to
come
from
here.
V
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
allowing
me
to
be
a
part
of
that
platform
of
the
young
people.
So
what
we
have
been
hearing
in
terms
of
the
regular
conversations
are
that
many
of
the
young
people
are
feeling
a
sense
of
isolation.
A
sense
of
isolation
can
also
lead
to
depression.
It
can
also
lead
to
again
increased
anxiety
and,
of
course,
if
they've
already
had
any
underlying
issues
related
to
any
other
mental
health
challenges,
then
those
are
expounded
even
more
because
of
this
Cove
in
nineteen
and
their
inability
to
connect
with
friends.
V
As
we
know,
during
that
age
group,
young
people
have
a
sense
of
connectedness
with
their
peers
and
not
being
able
to
connect
with
their
peers
in
the
ways
in
which
they
are
used
to
can
be
difficult.
I
think
many
times
we
think
of
young
people,
as
you
know,
connecting
via
social
media
using
their
technology
to
do
that,
but
they
tend
to
connect
with
their
social
media
and
the
technology
in
the
presence
of
each
other
and
I
think.
Sometimes
we
are
not
aware
of
how
that
happens
in
terms
of
how
they
see
connections.
V
You
know
the
importance
again
of
these
social
and
emotional
wellness,
so
how
many
of
these
organizations
do
understand
the
importance
of
trauma-informed
approaches
when
working
with
not
just
young
people
but
in
general,
but
for
young
people
more
so
so
there
needs
to
be
a
sense
of
safety
for
the
young
people
to
feel
a
sense
of
security
and
safety
within
the
the
work
organization
in
terms
of
where
they
are
working.
There
need
to
be,
of
course,
trustworthiness
and
transparency.
Again.
V
We
are
raised
in
a
we
want
to
raise
a
generation
of
young
people
who
feel
empowered
and
feel
some
sense
of
ability
to
have
some
choice
in
terms
of
where
the
the
in
terms
of
career,
choice
and
we'd
like
to
be
employed.
So
that's
important
and
last
but
not
least,
especially
amongst
you
know,
within
the
city
of
Boston
and
black
and
brown
children
and
our
ethnicity,
you
must
employ
a
sense
of
cultural,
historical
and
gender
issues
within
the
context
of
trauma-informed
approaches
when
dealing
with
young
people.
V
G
T
I
literally
just
had
a
just
a
question
for
for
Tom
from
for
dr.
Crump
swabby,
just
in
terms
of
how
have
you
been
able
to-
and
this
is
just
for
my
own
edification
as
we're
trying
to
expand
upon
the
work
that
we're
doing
with
certain
population.
How
have
you
been
able
to
broach
the
conversation
around
trauma
with
black
and
brown
boys
like
how
huge.
T
It
just
until
the
population
that
we
service
sort
of
is
it's
a
difficult
thing
to
do.
They
had
that
conversation,
just
someone
if
you
had
any
sort
of
sort
of
takeaways
for
some
of
the
some
of
the
sort
of
successes
had
that
you
may
have
had
with
that
population,
because
the
population
that
we
serve
generally
is
not
the
ones
that
even
are
going
to
acknowledge
that
they
are
traumatized
and
most
sadly,
those
of
us
who
are
offering
those
services
are
also
traumatized
as
well.
T
So
just
in
terms
of
if
you
have
any
sort
of
just
takeaway
or
something
that
that
was
a
best
practice
for
you
to
sort
of
start.
That
conversation
is,
it
ended
true
basis.
It
is
a
group
conversation
just
something
that
we
may
be
able
to
take
when
we're
talking
about
reaching
reaching
some
of
that
that
population.
Thank
you
thank
you,
counselors
for
recognizing
my
question.
You're.
V
V
You
know
the
adults,
it's
all
black
and
brown
communities
who
feel
that
that
were
traumas,
give
gives
a
sense
of
negativity
and
often
times
I
always
talk
about
language
and
how
we
use
language
is
important
and
I
may
not
start
off
with
the
word
trauma.
I
start
off
with
just
hearing
from
that
young
person
in
terms
of
what
have
been
your
experience,
when
you,
you
know,
have
been
walking
down
the
street.
V
What
have
you
have
been
your
experience
when
you
walk
into
the
school
building
and
what
has
been
your
experience
when
you
are,
you
know
into
interacting
with
people
and
then
once
we
have
that
conversation
that
dialogue,
then
I
put
a
word
to
it
and
help
them
to
understand.
So
it
really
taught
starts
with
you
know,
educating
folks
in
terms
of
helping
them
to
understand
what
their
personal
experiences
are
and
then
helping
them
to
add
the
language
and
helping
them
to
add,
add
the
language
that
helps
them
understand
much
better.
V
This
is
what
has
been
going
on
for
me
all
my
life,
so
that's
usually
my
approach
to
it.
I,
don't
start
off
with
the
word
trauma,
I
start
off
with
just
here
and
there
their
lived
experience
and
then
providing
them
with
some
education
around.
This
is
what's
been
happening,
and
this
is
how
you
understand
what's
been
happening
forth.
C
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
apologize
for
stepping
away
and
not
being
here
when
you
called
me
last,
but
and
because
of
that
I'd
rather
just
watch
the
video
and
follow
up
with
the
panelists.
If
I
have
additional
questions,
I'm
I
will
just
say
thank
you
to
dr.
frock
for
that
question.
I
think
that
it
was
a
really
great
question
to
ask
and
I'm
happy
that
I
was
here
to
hear
dr.
Krim
Swami's
response
to
it.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
Just
had
a
couple
more
questions
about
just
I'm.
Just
you
know,
as
a
new
counselor
just
trying
to
get
up
to
speed
and
thinking
about
kind
of,
like
you
know,
long
term
how
we
built
out
youth
jobs,
so
I
was
just
wondering.
I
have
the
impression,
because
I
paid
some
attention
to
it
as
a
like
young
activist
myself,
that
the
youth
jobs
numbers
like
used
to
be
higher
like
back
in
the
same
way
that
our
state
aid
went
down
after
the
recession
and
never
recovered
that
like
we
might
also.
S
Yes,
council,
Bock
I
think
it
will
probably
it
will
probably
be
best
if
I
connect
back
with
budget
to
kind
of
get
an
idea
around
numbers
that
happen
reported
over
the
last
decade.
I
mean
I've,
been
in
my
role
for
about
three
summers,
so
I
think
what
I
know
is
you
know
the
trajectory
over
the
last
three
years.
Anything
post
we
being
in
this
role,
I,
don't
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
looking
at
the
correct
data
before
I
share
it's
not
backed
up
by
the
data,
the
city.
Actually,
yes,
totally.
M
S
I
M
R
I
S
I
You
know
how
many
young
people
yeah
are
in
the
super
teens
program,
because
I
just
I'm
wondering
because
I
know
that
I
know
we've
talked
about
that.
As
being
reasons
we
don't
start,
we
start
our
jobs.
The
success
linked
ones
at
fifteen
instead
of
fourteen
but
I'm
just
curious
when
we
think
about
scale
like
how
many
14-year
olds
are
getting
a
new
super
team
is
in
yeah.
S
Knowledge
over
the
last
couple
years
since
I've
been
here
that
number
has
read
about
two
hundred
to
a
little
bit
of
over
two
hundred
last
year
and
I
believe
they're
looking
at
kinda
find
ways
to
expand
it
this
summer,
primarily
because
there
will
be
more
large
community,
so
they
probably
will
be
opportunities
to
engage
more
young
people,
but
again
BC
YF
probably
has
that
they
should
have
that
data,
and
we
can.
We
can
reach
out
to
Pam
and
Commission
of
Road
Morales
get
those
numbers.
Okay,.
I
Yeah
and
my
office
can
reach
out
to
them
too
that's
great
and
then
I
guess
the
one
other
yeah
and
I
just
think
you
know
the
year-end
thing
I'd
love
to
have
that
conversation.
We
don't
need
to
do
it
now,
but
just
because
I
know
there
has
been
some
unspent
budget
Authority
on
the
Yee
side,
and
it
seems
it
feels,
like
you
know,
figuring
out
how
to
get
that
spent,
and
in
this
year
in
particular
to
the
extent
we're
relying
on
cara's
Act
funding.
I
I
C
Thank
you
constable
I'm,
very
cognizant
of
the
time
it
is
2:35
and
we've
been
here.
This
is
an
incredibly
important
conversation
to
have
in
the
context
of
code
of
19
and
all
the
other
issues
that
are
happening
in
our
city
at
this
moment.
So
I
would
there
are
any
other
councillors
who
would
like
to
make
a
comment
but
you're
blue
hand
up
I
would
like
to
move
on
to
public
testimony.
We
have
I
understand.
We
have
a
video
of
public
testimony
and
some
written
testimony,
so
if
no
one
has
any.
C
X
Hi,
my
name
is
Siri
car
and
I
live
in
Jamaica,
Plain,
Boston
I'm.
Also,
a
teacher
in
Boston,
Public,
Schools
I
believe
it
is
time
to
defund
the
police
and
invest
in
black
and
brown
communities.
The
city
has
to
increase
funding
for
youth
jobs,
215
million
dollars
and
cut
the
police
budget
from
four
hundred
fourteen
to
three
hundred
seventy
four
million
dollars,
or
even
less
and
cut
overtime
from
sixty
million
to
20
million
dollars
or
less
I.
X
Am
a
teacher
with
the
young
people
of
Boston
and
I,
see
how
my
students,
who
in
the
school
I
work
in,
are
mostly
students
of
color.
They
benefit
so
greatly
from
having
access
to
summer
jobs.
My
eighth
graders
in
particular,
are
definitely
responsible
enough
to
hold
a
paid
summer
job,
so
opening
up
youth
programming
and
summer
job
opportunities
to
14
year
olds
is
critically
important,
especially
so
that
my
students
can
feel
some
sense
of
empowerment
over
supporting
their
families
during
this
difficult
financial
time.
X
This
is
why
I
really
think
we
need
to
put
more
funding
to
protect
and
expand
our
youth
jobs
and
why
the
police,
budget
and
police
overtime
needs
to
be
cut.
It
is
a
much
better
use
of
our
resources.
We
need
15
million
dollars
to
double
those
youth
jobs,
expand
the
munson,
expand
the
age
ranges
and
include
undocumented
young
people
as
well,
who
are
among
my
students,
who
bring
nothing
but
amazing
things.
C
Y
You
yes,
so
my
name
is
Tamika
Hines
and
I.
Am
the
racial
justice
community
advocate
at
the
ACLU
of
Massachusetts
I'm?
Also,
a
black
and
queer
resident
of
Dorchester
I.
Give
this
testimony
on
behalf
of
the
ACLU
are
over
walked
10,000
members
in
Boston
and
my
community.
In
favor
of
this
document.
Recently
we
have
witnessed
the
murders
of
Brianna,
Taylor,
Toni,
McDade,
joy
and
George
Floyd
at
the
hands
of
police,
and
over
our
lifetimes
we
witnessed
countless
others.
Y
These
murders
represent
the
harm
and
trauma
that
happened
in
our
community
when
we
invest
in
over
policing
instead
of
resources
for
our
youth.
The
bottom
line
is
that
youth
deserve
an
investment
in
their
future,
not
an
investment
increasing
their
communities.
During
the
pandemic,
our
state
has
experienced
an
unemployed
rate
as
high
as
15%
in
Boston,
the
predominately
black
in
Latin
X
neighborhoods
of
East
Boston
in
Dorchester,
are
among
the
hardest
hit
areas.
We
can
only
begin
to
understand
how
this
is
affected.
Y
Our
black
and
brown
youth
for
our
state
LGBTQ
youth
are
2.8
times
as
likely
to
be
homeless
oftentimes.
They
engage
in
the
stream
economy
to
survive,
and
so
they
have
a
higher
chance
of
interacting
with
police.
Meanwhile,
the
Boston
Police
Department
currently
boasts
a
more
than
four
hundred
fourteen
million
dollar
budget,
which
is
53
times
more
than
the
youth
engagement
in
employment
department.
I'm
gonna,
repeat
that
one
more
time
that
is
53
times
more
than
the
youth
engagement
and
employment
department.
This
is
inherently
choosing
correlation
trauma
and
death
of
our
youth
over
their
future.
Y
It's
time
for
Boston
to
follow
in
the
footsteps
of
cities
like
Minneapolis
and
Portland
that
have
removed
police
from
their
classrooms,
as
proven
by
a
study
out
of
Northeastern
University
summer
job
programs
for
youth,
improve
social
skills
and
reduce
violent
crime.
Investing
in
youth
jobs,
our
youth
jobs,
rather
than
investing
in
criminalization
of
black
and
brown
youth,
as
well
as
LGBTQ
youth
perpetuated
by
the
Boston
Police
Department,
ensures
that
we
are
diverting
them
from
the
juvenile
justice
system
and
powering
the
with
community
resources.
Y
By
supporting
this
docket,
the
City
Council
will
prioritize
the
future
of
our
youth.
We
see
what
happens
when
we
empower
the
trauma
caused
by
law
and
order.
Today
we
stand
in
solidarity
with
the
youth
who
have
testified,
and
our
community
partners
to
say,
let's
power,
youth
instead
and
if
folks
are
interested
in
seeing
any
of
the
data
that
I
cited.
It's
in
my
written
testimony
that
I
submitted
thank.
C
Z
Z
C
AA
That
mayor
Walsh
and
the
City
Council
defund,
the
Boston
Police,
invest
in
black
and
brown
communities
and
fund
15
million
dollars
in
youth
jobs.
My
name
is
Adeline
Ansel
and
I
am
a
Boston
Public
Schools
teacher
the
students
that
I
teach
loved
their
summer
jobs
their
side
jobs
during
this
school
year.
A
lot
of
them
I
work
in
bright
in
a
lot
of
them
work
at
the
oak
square.
Why
they
go
to
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
and
the
Boston
centers
for
family
and
youth
in
their
neighborhood
and.
AA
They
work
for
the
mayor's
summer,
job
programs
I'm,
asking
that
you
cut
the
BPD
budget
from
four
hundred
and
fourteen
million
to
three
hundred
and
seventy
four
million
or
less
and
cut
overtime
from
60
million
to
two
to
20
million.
With
this
money,
you
can
increase
you
jobs
to
15
million
instead
of
policing
the
young
people
that
I
teach
and
surveilling
the
young
people
that
I
teach
your
the
BPD
I'm
asking
that
the
City
Council
and
Mayor
Walsh
use
this
money
to
fund
jobs
for
these
same
kids.
O
Hi,
my
name
is
Julius
Tyler
and
the
teachers
of
Boston
Public
Schools.
Here's
my
be
t-shirt
and
I
also
live
in
Roxbury
and
I
think
that
we
have
to
defund
the
Boston
Police
Department
and
reinvest
that
money
in
the
communities
where
it
seems
like
the
only
investments
you
make
in
black
and
brown
Queenie's
in
Boston
is
police
like
building
new
police
stations
and
up
pain,
big
salaries
to
police
and
not
investing
the
the
most
important
it's
for
these
communities
to
flourish
like
education
and
I
think,
especially
with
koban.
O
When
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
reductions
in
state
income
and
presumably
reductions
in
education
now,
does
it
make
any
sense
to
D,
invest
upstream
in
these
lives
of
the
students
in
these
neighborhoods
and
then
just
pay
to
punish
them
later
in
life,
after
that,
after
they
bomb
Bennett
disinvested
it
and
their
schools
haven't
served
them
what
they
needed.
So
it's
important
that
we
take
the
money
that
we
are
giving
to
the
Boston
Public
Police,
Department
and
I'm
invested
in
youth.
O
Jobs
would
like
to
invest
for
two
million
dollars:
idiots
jobs
for
the
summer,
so
that
our
kids
can
grow
up
and
I'll
reach
their
potential
and
make
money
and
not
even
need
the
police
to
be
criminalizing
them
because
they
are
engaged
in
society.
AB
My
name
is
Maggie
Webb
and
I
live
in
Jamaica
Plain
I
want
to
say
that
it's
time
to
defund
the
police
and
invest
in
black
and
brown
communities,
the
city
must
increase
funding
for
youth
jobs.
Fifteen
million
dollars
cut
the
police
budget
from
414
to
three
hundred
and
seventy
four
million
or
less
and
cut
overtime
from
sixty
million
to
20
million
or
less.
The
city
should
fund
five
thousand
summer
jobs
and
1,000
year-round
jobs
for
youth,
in
particular,
hiring
undocumented
young,
undocumented
young
people
who
are
valuable
members
to
our
community.
AB
AB
Police
departments
need
to
be
defunded
to
stop
violence
against
black
and
brown
people,
particularly
black
people,
that
we're
seeing
across
the
nation
and
Boston
is
not
immune
to
racist
cops.
It's
important
to
expand
youth
jobs
during
and
after
the
Cova
19
pandemic,
recognizing
the
economic
crisis
that
were
in
and
that's
why
I
think
we
should
get
more
funding
to
protect
and
expand
youth
jobs
and
why
the
police,
budget
and
police
overtime
needs
to
be
cut.
We
need
15
million
dollars
to
double
youth
jobs,
expand
the
months,
expand
the
age
ranges
and
include
undocumented
young
people.
AB
AC
As
the
country
is
racked
in
turmoil
and
really
coming
to
terms
with
systemic
racism
and
how
that
infiltrates
our
lives,
our
policy
and
how
we
interact
with
others,
I'm
calling
on
you
today
to
defund
the
Boston
Police,
the
Boston
Police
currently
has
a
over
four
hundred
million
dollar
budget,
and
definitely
it
should
be
cut,
at
least
by
sixty
million
dollars.
There's
so
many
other
uses
for
where
this
money
could
go
particularly
to
investing
in
black
and
brown
communities
and
funding
jobs
for
youth
over
the
summer.
That's
a
much
more
productive
way
to
spend
this
money.
C
AD
AD
I'll
use
my
experience
with
this
husband,
like
I've
seen.
People
in
my
community
become
criminalized
because
of
the
heavy
policing
that
has
happened
and
I
genuinely
I'm
concerned
that
if
we
do
not
stop
this,
like
sooner
than
later
than
that,
it
will
become
a
bigger
problem,
and
we
already
know
that
Boston
has
an
issue
being
like
the
most
racist
city
in
the
country
and
I
think.
AD
This
is
like
one
way
that
we
can
remedy
that
I'm,
currently
working
on
an
art
and
activism
curriculum
with
a
non
profit
center
that
focuses
on
engaging
high
school
youth
and
making
them
think
about
how
they
can
become
leaders
for
social
justice
within
their
pro,
like
within
their
skills
and
within
their
range.
So
I
would
definitely
love
to
see
more
money
funded
towards
that,
rather
than
scrambling
for
funding
like
we
are
right
now
and
not
having
like
policemen
around
our
communities,
because
that's
just
not
serving
anyone.
You've
seen
thank.
AE
My
name
is
Moroni
and
I
live
in
South
Boston,
since
I
was
young
I
thought
that
the
normality
in
life
was
that
there
are
certain
people
in
life
who
are
rich
in
some
more
poor.
I
grew
up
with
hard-working
parents
who
were
basically
absent.
All
of
my
life.
Their
jobs
took
them
from
me
and
all
of
the
experiences
that
a
child
should
have
with
their
parents
was
replaced
with
an
empty
home.
This
was
because
my
parents
were
forced
to
work
100
times
harder
than
those
who
were
better
off.
AE
They
had
no
other
choice
but
to
work
day
and
night
to
pay
off
the
rent
of
our
apartment.
That
was
infested
with
roaches.
My
parents
are
not
the
only
ones
who
come
from
another
country,
hoping
for
opportunities
of
Education
for
their
children
and
come
to
find
themselves
working
more
than
anything.
Seeing
results
come
every
blue
moon,
Jeannette
Rowe
vacation
is
a
terrible
occurrence
that
has
not
only
affected
families,
but
also
the
children
who
benefit
from
living
in
Boston
having
homes
that
are
affordable,
lessen
the
stress
that
students
have
and
can
help
them
perform
better.
AE
The
more
housing
opportunities
are
invested
for
minorities,
the
more
they
are
able
to
live
in
better
suited
conditions
for
all
their
families
instead
of
neighborhoods
that
are
always
referred
to
as
the
projects
or
the
hoods
because
of
the
lack
of
income
they
received
from
the
government
to
make
a
better
living.
If
youths
are
provided
more
during
after
and
after
the
pandemic,
it
would
a
lot
more
minority
students
to
help
their
parents
regaining
the
money
that
they
lost
during
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
and
help
them
need
their
parents.
AE
I
am
asking
the
City
Council
to
cut
at
least
10%
of
Boston
Police
Department
budget,
including
forty
million
dollars
from
over
time.
Mayor
walsh
must
reinvest
that
money
in
black
and
brown
communities
prioritizing
increasing
funding
for
youth
jobs
to
fifteen
million
dollars
and
aiding
in
better
housing.

Hi,
my
name
is
Nathan.
I
live
in
Watertown
Massachusetts,
but
I
am
a
former
Boston
Public
Schools
teacher
I
was
taught
in
bps
for
four
years.
I
taught
special
ed
and
I
taught
science
in
a
dual
language:
Spanish
English
school
I
taught
wonderful,
wonderful
people,
I
worked
with
wonderful
people,
many
of
them
the
overwhelming
majority,
were
black
and
brown
and
they
are
suffering
right
now.
It
is
really
really
time
to
defund
the
police.
We
need
to
invest
in
black
and
brown
communities,
like
my
students
and,
like
so
many
others
across
the
city.
AF
We
need
to
cut
the
police
budget,
cut
it
cut
it
cut
it
cut
it.
You
need
to
fund
summer
jobs,
we
need
to
hire
undocumented
young
people.
We
need
to
give
grants
to
organizations
that
are
supporting
the
immigrant
communities,
the
black
and
brown
communities
them.
There
are
so
many
of
my
students.
If
you
know
any
teachers
you'll
once
they're
your
student
they're,
always
your
students
I
still
love
these
kids
I
still
miss
these
kids.
They
need
summer
jobs.
They
need
something
to
do,
especially
this
summer
with
kovat
and
all
of
its
craziness.
N
My
name
is
Sarah
and
I
live
in
Cambridge
Massachusetts,
it's
time
to
defund
police
and
invest
in
black
and
brown
communities.
The
city
must
increase
funding
for
youth
jobs,
to
15
million,
cut
the
police
budget
from
four
hundred
and
fourteen
to
three
hundred
and
seventy
four
million
or
less
and
cut
overtime
from
sixty
million
to
20
million
or
less
expand
jobs
to
the
14
to
22
year
olds
and
hire
undocumented
immigrant
youth.
As
a
Boston
Public
School
teacher
I
can't
emphasize
how
important
it
is
to
invest
in
our
youth.
N
My
students
are
brilliant,
but
they
need
opportunities
to
show
and
grow
their
skills
so
that
they
can
become
the
citizens
of
this
city
that
we
mean
and
that's
why
I
think
we
should
get
more
funding
to
protect
and
expand
youth
jobs
and
why
the
police,
budget
and
police
overtime
needs
to
be
cut.
We
need
15
million
to
double
youth
jobs,
expand
the
months,
expand
the
age
ranges
and
include
undocumented
young
people.
E
Hi
I'm
Ally
critiques
out
I
live
in
Somerville,
but
I
work
in
Back,
Bay
and
it's
time
to
befriend
the
police
and
invested
black
and
brown
communities.
The
city
must
increase
funding
for
these
jobs,
215
million
dollars
and
cut
the
police
police
budget
from
414
to
374
million
or
less
and
cut
overtime
from
60
million
to
20
million
or
less.
In
addition,
the
city
should
fund
5,000
summer
jobs
and
1000
year
run
job
year-round,
jobs,
expand
jobs
to
14
to
22
year
olds
and
hire
undocumented
young
people.
E
These
jobs
are
more
important
now
than
ever
as
a
condemning
have
disastrous
impact
on
our
economy.
Jobs
are
hard
to
come
by
for
everyone,
and
that
means
that
youth
are
even
more
likely
to
be
unemployed,
and
this
will
have
a
disastrous
long-term
effects
on
their
economic
status
and
overall
well-being.
So
it's
imperative
that
the
city
act
now
and
that's.
Why
I
think
that
these
funding
changes
are
so
crucial.
AG
C

Thank
You
councillor,
Braden
I,
will
keep
it
short
and
sweet.
I
know
it's
getting
late.
Thank
you
for
chairing
the
hearing.
Congrats
again
on
your
first
hearing.
Was
it's
awesome.
Thank
you
to
everyone
from
the
administration
for
the
hard
work
you
do.
You
know
Midori,
Rashad
and
Rufus,
appreciate
you
guys
being
here
and
frankly,
staying
for
this
long
period
of
time.
D
Thank
you
to
all
of
our
youth
based
organizations,
our
community-based
organizations,
all
of
our
panelists
for
coming
and
providing
their
perspective
from
there
from
where
they
sit
and
what
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
and
and
I'm
committed
to
absolutely
ensuring
that
there
is
adequate
funding
for
youth
jobs
that
the
numbers
that
people
are
requesting
that
we
make
it
happen.
I've
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
with
just
youth
development
and
making
sure
there
is
organizations
with
respect
to
our
young
people
that
are
available
to
all
of
them
and
not
just
jobs,
mental
health
mentorship.
D
The
list
is
long
in
terms
of
what
our
young
people
need
and
in
terms
of
specifically
the
youth
jobs.
Conversation
in
the
context
of
the
police
department,
as
chair
of
Public
Safety,
absolutely
be.
Looking
at
those
line
items
those
numbers
over
time,
many
other
issues
to
say
how
do
we
redirect
resources
into
this
work
into
youth
jobs
and
that
our
budget
definitely
is
a
value
statement?
And
if
we
want
our
young
people
to
be
successful
well,
then
we
have
to
align
the
money
with
the
value.
D
L
Thank
you
so
much
madam
chair,
I
I
would
like
to
thank
my
sister's
and
services,
counselor,
Campbell
and
Councilman
here
for
their
partnership
in
their
leadership
in
this
space.
Very
important
issue,
as
we've
all
heard
grateful
to
all
of
the
young
folks
and
all
of
the
activists
and
advocates
and
educators
who
participated
in
this
hearing
very
important
issue
excited
to
kind
of
look
to
see
what
we
can
cut
and
how
we
can
invest
differently.
L
I,
agree
and
I
think
you
know
the
evidence
is
clear
when
we
do
the
investment,
we
see
the
reduction
in
crime,
and
we
heard
that
loud
and
clear
in
this
hearing
and
so
I'm
as
we
continue.
This
conversation
around
our
budget
and
around
funding.
I
hope
that
the
advocates
and
and
everyone
stay
is
engage
I.
G
Thank
you
so
much
counselor
reading
for
hosting
your
first
public
hearing
great
job
and
to
my
sister's
and
service
councillor
Campbell
for
your
leadership
in
this
space,
as
well
as
president
council
Janey,
and
thank
you
to
the
panelists
and
the
administration
and
participated
and
for
the
public
for
the
public
testimonies.
I
am
really
here
to
just
say
three
things.
One
is
that
public
testimony
is
really
about
an
opportunity
for
us
to
amplify
our
voices,
and
we
hear
you
loud
and
clear.
G
J
You
ma'am,
chair
and
I
will
be
brief,
appreciate
leadership
of
the
lead
sponsors
on
this
effort
and
happy
to
add
my
name
in
support
of
this
effort.
As
a
former
high
school
teacher
and
former
pick
coordinator,
I
value
the
opportunities
that
employment
bring
our
young
people
and
for
me
this
conversation,
a
particular
point
of
focus
is
really
the
slightly
older
age
group
and
the
work
that
remains
undone
to
support
to
support
our
young
people
here
in
the
City
of
Boston.
J
So
I
look
forward
to
continued
effort,
both
in
the
in
the
work
and
also
in
calling
for
additional
funding
to
support
these
efforts,
but
we
need
to
fund
it.
We
need
to
create
the
policies
around
it.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
critical
partnerships
in
order
to
make
those
employment
opportunities
available
to
our
young
residents,
in
particular
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Congratulations
and
thank
you
to
everyone
who
participated
today,
especially
the
young
people
who
took
time
in
deliberate
testimony
and
served
on
on
the
panels.
I
I
All
of
our
head
space
right
has
to
just
shift
into
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we
spend
the
money
in
the
sense
of
actually
getting
the
youth
into
these
opportunities
for
the
summer
and
I
really
agree
with
councillor
Campbell
that
we
any
anywhere
that
we
have
an
opportunity
and
we
have
a
young
person
needing
an
opportunity
this
summer
like
let's
make
it
happen
whatever?
Whatever
money
we
need
to
make
it
happen,
and
yeah
and
I
I
really
just
appreciate.
I
I
know
that
that
I
know
the
team
at
Yee
has
generated
a
huge
number
of
new
jobs
in
the
last
couple
of
months
and
and
glad
about
that,
and
just
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we
take
advantage
of
every
opportunity
on
that
front
and
yeah
and
just
and
as
I
said
before.
Work
on
the
year-round
jobs
front
make
sure
that
I
make
sure
that
we're
just
we're
doing
everything
we
can
in
partnership
with
the
advocates.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
having
this
and
I
again
want
to.
C
You
councillor
Bach,
thank
you.
Everyone
thank
you.
I
told
our
colleague
city
councillors
for
joining
this
conversation
today.
I
want
to
thank
especially
all
the
young
youth
advocates
and
for
their
testimony
and
for
their
passion
and
for
their
advocacy.
It's
really
important
upstream
investment
and
youth
jobs
will
pay
dividends
in
the
long
run
in
terms
of
reducing
of
crime
and
produced
and
and
really
helping
young
people
to
establish
their
their
work
history
and
get
good
jobs
going
forward.
C
So
it's
really
important
to
our
mental
health
and
our
stability
going
forward,
and
thank
you
also
to
the
members
of
the
administration
who
have
participated
is
very
valuable
and
important
conversation
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
it.
This
conversation
will
be
ongoing,
but
for
now
I
would
like
to
draw
this
hearing
to
it.
Thank
you.
I've
got
my
little
wallet.
Thank
you,
bye,
everybody's
nice
to
see
everybody
thanks.
Everyone.
