Dockets #0588 - 0596 - Fiscal Year 2021 Budget: Youth Engagement & Employment
A
So
glad
to
see
all
of
your
faces.
Okay,
we
today
our
hearing
is
on
talk
at
zero.
Five,
eight,
eight,
two:
zero
five,
nine
Oh
orders
for
the
FY
21
operating
budget,
including
annual
appropriations
for
departmental
operations
for
the
school
department
and
for
other
post-employment
benefits,
orders
for
capital
fund
transfer
appropriations
and
orders
for
the
capital
budget,
including
loan
orders
and
lease
purchase
agreements,
as
I
said,
we'll
be
focusing
on
youth
engagement
and
employment.
A
Today
and
hearing
from
Commissioner
Rashad
cope,
I
just
want
to
let
people
know
the
running
order,
and
so
we'll
hear
from
the
commissioner.
We
then
because
we've
started
so
late.
There
is
a
group
of
four
youth
who
had
signed
up
in
advance,
who
I'm
going
to
allow
to
testify
immediately
following
the
commissioner
and
then
we'll
go
to
counselor
questions
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
balance
of
public
testimony
and
which
I
know
is
also
there
also
a
number
of
other
people.
A
C
C
Very,
very
flattering,
but
again
thank
you,
I'm
into
the
members
of
the
City
Council.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
service
in
advocacy
I'm,
especially
at
the
center
of
this
global
pandemic,
and
thank
you
for
having
our
office
here
today
to
present
our
fiscal
year.
21
budget
I
would
also
like
to
send
a
formal
congratulations
from
our
office
to
all
of
the
newly
elected
officials.
Your
presence
in
resilience
is
incredibly
important
for
our
community
I'm,
so
well
I'm.
C
A
C
So
fiscal
year,
20
started
with
I
would
say
so
much
positive
momentum
for
the
work
of
youth
engagement
in
employment,
and
then
we
were
all
hit
with
this
public
health
curve.
This
morning,
I
sat
on
a
webinar
with
HHS
and
she
has
some
remarks
that
I
think
it's
fitting
to
share
during
this
time
with
you,
and
those
remarks
are
that
this
pandemic
continues
to
prove
difficult
times.
But
in
this
we
are
experiencing
many
opportunities
to
serve
our
communities
more
effectively.
C
We
realize
that
no
population
is
less
important
during
this
time,
especially
our
youth
population
I'm.
So
while
the
data
is
showing
small
to
minimum,
usually
to
cases
we
know,
our
young
people
are
severely
impacted
by
this
I'm
and
we
feel
that
we
as
Yee
and
others
play
a
role
in
supporting
our
youth
through
this
I'm.
So
with
that,
I
am
extremely
thankful.
Now,
more
than
ever
to
be
really
being
good.
C
Health
and
humbled
by
this
continuing
experience,
I've
been
provided
to
lead
and
serve
in
the
work
of
driving
opportunities
for
young
people
and
our
service
providers
across
the
city
of
Boston
I'm
gonna
jump
into
one
highlight.
One
notable
highlight
that
I
feel
helps
capture
the
importance
of
our
work
and
then
I'll
share
a
few
program.
Specific
highlights,
I'm.
C
So
on
December
4th
a
group
of
my
C
members,
mayor's
Youth
Council
members
met
with
Stacey
Abrams,
who
was
a
former
Georgia
gubernatorial
nominee,
and
this
meeting
was
hosted
by
the
Edward
M
Kennedy
Institute
for
the
US
Senate
as
part
of
their
civic
engagement
education
session
on
the
the
young
people.
They
got
the
chance
to
hear
how
important
the
census
is
for
his
store
working
under
represented
populations,
specifically
black
and
hispanic
householders,
stacy
abrams
shared
the
1.5
trillion
that
will
be
allocated.
C
She
shared
how
money
is
not
lost,
if
not
distributed
appropriately
to
black
and
expanded
communities.
It
just
goes
to
communities
who
over
counted
and
she
shared.
If
you
don't
get
counted,
you
will
not
count
for
the
next
ten
years
and
how
this
can
lead
to
weaker
infrastructure.
Poor
overcrowded
schools
for
hospitals
and
how
it
affects
affordable
housing.
So
I
mentioned
that
because
this
was
a
great
experience
for
our
young
people
in
the
city
of
boston,
particularly
the
NYC
youth.
C
There
were
other
young
people
from
boston
that
attended
as
well
and
we
are
hoping
to
discuss
how
young
people
can
support
the
census
work
here
in
boston,
which
conversations
have
already
started.
So
this
effort
defines
our
work
in
the
youth
space
and
why
it's
so
important,
because
we
we
don't
know
what
fire
was
sparked
from
that
experience
and
it's
our
role
and
our
responsibility
to
create
more
of
these
experiences,
whether
it
be
through
employment
opportunities
with
community-based
organizations,
civic
engagement,
youth,
some
youth
voice
and
other
things.
C
So
our
office
is
responsible
for
the
youth
leader
chain
and
effort,
and
this
past
year
we
led
the
effort
to
redesign
you
flee
the
change
program.
Some
of
this
information-
maybe
you
guys,
can
probably
find
me
our
fiscal
year,
20
accomplishments
and
your
fiscal
year.
21
goals
and
initiatives
counselors
the
NYC
program
it
was.
It
was
redesigned
into
a
two-year
program
to
increase
program
awareness,
engagement
and
project
implementation.
It
was
also
designed
to
better
align
with
the
city's
capital
budget
process
and
their
timeline.
The
highlight
of
this
is
our
engagement
outreach
team.
C
They
collected
a
staggering
over
7,000
volts
from
various
young
people
across
the
city
of
Boston.
Most
of
those
votes
were
conducted
in
public
high
schools.
Some
of
those
votes
were
collected
within
community
organizations
and
then
City
Council's.
You
all
have
the
additional
notes
around
the
projects
that
were
funded
for
that
for
you
for
the
change
I'm.
The
second
major
highlight
is
our
school
year,
Youth
Employment
Program,
which
is
our
success,
link
program
where
the
city
of
Boston
hire
755
young
people
in
the
program.
C
So
this
was
remarkable
really
because
this
has
been
a
highest
number
of
jobs.
The
department
has
provided
to
use
during
the
school
year
in
over
five
years,
and
you
all
have
the
data
around
the
number
of
partner
organizations
we
partner
with
for
that
effort
and
also
with
the
school
year
program.
Our
office
made
it
a
point
to
continue
to
provide
wages
to
young
people
that
were
participants
in
the
school
year
program
through
the
end
of
April,
which
was
really.
We
was
really
excited
that
we
were
able
to
do
that
on
our
end.
I'm.
C
C
C
This
is
an
online
platform
where
there
are
over
a
thousand
Youth
Center
resources
for
young
people,
so
those
are
some
major
program
highlights
I
want
to
share,
and
then
again
there
are
a
ton
of
other
efforts
that
are
outlined
in
our
fiscal
year,
accomplishments
and
our
initiatives.
So
let
me
quickly
switch
to
you
know
our
Colbert
related
efforts
and
particularly
our
plans
around
summer
jobs.
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
here
who
are
I'm
wind
to
kind
of
hear
some
updates
around
our
summer
job.
C
So
our
Department,
in
partnership
with
the
mayor's
office
of
economic
development
you've
been
leading
this
effort
on
the
city
and
to
create
a
contingency
plan
that
will
help
provide
parameters
to
allow
for
a
modified,
Summer,
Youth
Employment
Program.
Here
in
Boston.
Our
goal
is
to
maximize
the
originally
calculated
job
opportunities,
pre
kovat
19.
So
what
that
means
is
that
there
is
funding
that
we
have
set
aside
for
youth
jobs
and
our
goal
is
to
ensure
that
we
have
maximizing.
C
You
know
that
funding
and
maximizing
those
numbers
to
the
young
people
to
provide
jobs
to
young
people
this
summer,
midori
mark
Cara
from
the
Office
of
Economic
Development,
has
really
played
a
major
role
in
helping
us
inform
this
plan.
So
thank
you
for
her
leadership
and
partnership
and
help
in
helping
us
navigate
the
contain
priorities.
Privatization
of
youth
jobs
during
this
time
and
Jill
McLaughlin
and
Alicia
Tino
Jose
from
pic
and
Alicia,
is
from
Wolfe
Eastern.
C
They
they
to
have
been
very
instrumental
in
analyzing
this
issue
from
a
research
resource
and
a
policy
lens,
and
then
the
last.
The
next
thing
in
terms
of
staffing
I
wanted
to
kind
of
go
back
just
to
just
to
thank
our
team.
Ye
has
a
team
of
caring
adults
I'm
that
extremely
thoughtful
and
committed
and
moving
our
work
forward.
C
We
launched
you
first
and
other
efforts
around
while
see
as
well
and
then
waddle
Franco
our
career
development
team,
who
Romanians
invested
in
helping
us
shape,
career
development
and
skill
development
opportunities
for
our
young
people
and
local
parkland,
who
supports
our
operational
and
IT
needs
for
the
office.
And
then
we
can't
forget
our
part-time
interns,
who
are
closer
to
who
are
closer
to
the
ground.
C
I
would
say
than
our
than
our
full-time
staff
and
they
really
serve
as
the
people
resources
in
the
work
force
to
implement
our
programs,
our
services
and
to
move
on
work
from
ideas
to
action,
they're,
paramount
and
any
goals
or
success.
We
achieve
so
I
say
thank
you
to
all
of
them
and
I
think
with
that
I'll
take
as
many
questions
as
possible
yeah.
Thank
you.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
your
shot
and
thank
you
also
for
the
really
thorough
responses
that
ye
provided
to
the
council's
questions.
I
really
appreciate
that
and
I
will
just
flag
for
my
colleagues
that
if
you
didn't
get
a
chance
to
see
those
yet
today,
you
should
definitely
pull
them
up
on
your
screen
during
this
hearing,
because
they're
very
helpful
and
informative
I
I,
as
I
mentioned
a
bit
at
the
start.
So
this
is
what
we're
gonna
do
in
terms
of
questions
and
testimonies.
A
So
we
do
have
a
group
of
our
young
people
for
of
our
young
people
who
asked
ahead
of
time
if
they
could,
if
they
could
go
a
little
earlier,
especially
given
that
we
I've
started
so
late,
so
I'm
gonna
take
those
four
together
I'm
in
order
and
I'll
admit
them
in
a
second
into
the
panelists
room.
We
will
then
go
to
Council
to
a
round
of
counselor
questions
and
then
we'll
go
back
to
public
testimony.
A
I
know
there
are
other
people
who
have
also
signed
up
to
testify
and
and
we
right
now,
we've
got
besides
myself,
counselor
Mejia,
counselor,
Campbell,
counselor
clarity,
counselor
savvy
Georgian,
counselor,
Edwards
I'm,
so
want
to
thank
them
all
for
joining
and
then
and
then
so.
We'll
do
a
round
of
counselor
questions
after
that
initial
testimony,
then
some
testimony
and
then,
if
colleagues
have
a
second
round
of
questions
and
they
stay
on
to
the
bitter
end
and
Rashad
is
still
here.
A
C
A
A
A
All
right,
we're
gonna,
go
we're
gonna
go
so
so
we're
gonna
hear
in
order
from
no
suka
and
then
just
money
Janelle.
If
Janelle
manages
to
join
us
and
then
Kanaya
and
we're
also
gonna
central
staff
is
gonna
put
up
with
just
a
couple
of
slides
that
they
had
asked
also
present
with
their
testimony.
So
so
I
we
will
begin
with
well.
A
Actually,
if
you
will
begin
with
no
suka
and
if
you
can
wait
one
second,
just
until
Michelle
Goldberg
throws
up
the
first
two,
your
slides
and
if
you
I
know
you
have
a
couple
here.
So
if
you
just
say
slide
she'll
move
to
the
next
one.
I
want
to
thank
central
staff
again
for
being
the
wizards
behind
our
entire
budget
process
and
and
although
I'm
calling
on
you
by
name,
if
you
can
just
introduce
yourself
briefly
and
I'll,
remind
everyone
that
we're
really
asking
you
it's
two
three
minutes.
So
thank
you.
Ock.
D
Okay,
hi,
my
name
is
Lucia
and
I
live
in
AI,
Park
and
I.
Work
for
youth
justice
of
our
Union
also
know
why
Jake
you,
you
and
I
also
work
with
as
well.
So
why
do
you
have
decided
to
make
on
youth
jobs
our
end
of
the
years?
Our
end
of
the
school
year
campaign,
jobs
in
general
are
important.
D
They
keep
our
economy
going
all
the
way
from
a
youth
boiling
the
launch
of
$5
to
a
corporate
500
CEO,
making
millions
of
dollars
adèle
attempt
pirate
continue
to
overlook
the
youth
jobs
department
when
it
comes
to
funding
and
I.
Think
nothing
more
than
coronavirus
has
put
many
families
out
of
Bob's
and
on
the
verge
of
being
homeless.
In
a
time
where
people
cannot
go
and
interview
for
any
drugs
or
get
more
hours
than
the
one
that
they
already
have.
D
We
now
have
many
families
struggling
as
you
can
see
on
the
left
side,
you
can
see
that
there
are
that
recently
in
the
past.
In
the
last
six
weeks
there
were
33
million
people
in
the
US
who
have
filed
for
unemployment
benefits,
and
you
can
see
that
it
started
around
the
end
of
March
and
in
the
beginning
of
April
and
then
on
the
right
side.
D
I'm
so
sorry
I
said
that
I'm
sorry,
my
wife
is
I'm.
So
sorry
about
that,
so
I
said
that
that,
on
the
left
side
you
can
see
that
more
than
33
million
people
in
the
US
have
filed
for
unemployment
benefits
in
the
last
six
weeks.
So
in
the
end
of
March
and
the
beginning
of
April,
and
then
you
can
see
on
your
right
side
that
there
is
this
graph
that
is
showing
you
how
the
corona
virus
outbreak
began.
The
US
and
is
most
is
most
likely
too
late.
E
So
hi,
my
name
is
just
money:
Rogers
I'm
from
the
social
justice
organization
called
we,
where
accident
city,
to
increase
funding
for
a
youth
jobs
to
15
million
and
make
sure
the
jobs
the
summer
jobs
program
is
slowly
running
fully
running.
I
know
that
we
tried
mentioned
the
possibility
of
having
adjustments
for
the
summer
dog
snacks.
What
we're
looking
for
the
program
should
expand
to
5,000
summer
jobs,
a
thousand
year-round
job
from
September
to
June
and
from
14
years
old
to
22,
year
olds
and
I'm.
Here.
E
E
A
lot
of
the
parents
of
his
youth
in
the
low-income
communities
that
apply
for
these
jobs
barely
have
enough
money
to
provide
things
such
as
clothes
and
subsequent
food
for
their
children,
meaning
that
without
these
jobs,
a
lot
of
students
could
go
hungry
or
without
clothes.
These
jobs
are
also
very
important
because
a
lot
of
youth,
if
they
are
not
using
the
money
to
buy
their
own
necessities,
they're
giving
their
money
to
their
parents
to
help
pay
bills.
As
you
can
see,
the
youth
songs
are
a
very
important
asset
to
children
in
lower-income
communities.
E
A
A
F
So
hi,
my
name
is
Janelle
Fenton
and
I'm
from
Dorchester,
and
today,
I
will
be
testifying
and
supporter
for
youth
jobs.
I
have
watched
my
mother
struggle
with
her
financial
burdens
for
years.
I
thought
working,
ID,
whyyyy
I
would
be
able
to
help
all
my
mother's
family
help
my
family
situation,
but
come
to
find
out.
I
wasn't
being
paid
enough
in
this
pandemic.
Instead
of
putting
more
money
into
well
for
well-funded
organization,
you
should
start
putting
more
money
into
youth
jobs
that
can
help
the
Harmony.
F
This
can
help
help
them
and
help
their
family
and
needs.
For
example,
the
police
officers
are
getting
more
funding,
then
youth
jobs.
This
have
forced
me
to
find
another
job
while
still
working
for
d
ye.
You
have
to
understand
as
a
student
as
essential
worker
there's
a
lot
on
my
plate,
I'm
a
high
school
student,
getting
ready
to

And
in
this
slide
it
has
shows
about
how
the
funding
for
the
youth
jobs
in
the
yellow
one
it's
like
smaller
than
the
other
ones.
Then
the
one
that's
the
arm.
The
other
police,
which
is
the
blue
one,
is
the
police
officers
and
they
get
more
money
than
the
youth
charge.
In
the
second
slide,
it
shows
how
the
youth
job
still
they
have
the
money,
but
they
still
on
the
same

while
the
police

go
over

no

If
you
look
at
the

there,
there
is
a
graph
that
shows
that
more
than
33

in

in

last
six

starting
at

in
rising
in

as
well,
and
then
on
the
right
side.
D
Please
summer,
20,
2010,
Boston,
youth
funded
for
3,300
summer
jobs
and
then
in
this,
then
in
the
summer
of
2020,
Boston's,
again
jobs,
and
this
shows
that
the
data
hasn't
changed
in
the
past
ten
years.
If
we,
if
we
talked
about
youth
and
take
their
work
seriously,
we
should
see
that
these
numbers
start
growing
exponentially,
providing
more
jobs
for
more
use,
and
by
doing
that,
we
continue
on
with
our
demands
next
slide.
D
Please,
and
our
demand
is
that
Dee
Yee
starts
heading
for
summer
right
now
and
starts
taking
into
account
the
amount
of
youth
that
they
will
have
to
start
providing
jobs
for
and
I
know
that
has
we're
talking
about
not
cutting
on
jobs,
but
actually
increasing
them,
especially
at
a
time
like
this.
When
so
many
families
are
struggling
and
actually
need
them.
We're
also
talking
about
doubling
the
amount
of
success
linked
jobs
at
the
city
funds.
G
Yeah,
basically
I
just
wanted
to
reinstate
I've
been
mourns
like
we
said.
We
asked
for
the
mayor
to
start
making
a
plan
to
the
summit
now
so
that
the
young
people
always
looks
forward
to
to
double
the
amount
of
success
linked
jobs
for
this
summer.
At
history
here
raise
the
budget,
so
it's
50
million,
so
that
we
can't
afford
those
five
thousand
summer
jobs
and
year
a
thousand
a
year
around
their
summer,
jobs
open
successfully
from
14
to
22.
A
Great
thank
you
thank
you
can
I
thank
you,
jazz
money,
no
Sica
and
and
Janelle
as
well
and
so
I
that
that
concludes
the
testimony
from
our
initial
group
of
young
people.
Thank
you
guys
so
much
for
joining
us
and
now
we're
gonna
jump
to
counselor
questions
and
then,
as
I
said
before,
well,
we'll
move
to
taking
testimony
from
other
people
who
signed
up.
So
next
up
is
going
to
be
counselor,
Mejia,
counselor
Mejia.
Yes,.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
I'm,
chairman
Hancock,
thank
you
I'm,
so
I'm
grateful
for
how
thorough
your
presentation
was.
You
definitely
answered
a
lot
of
questions
during
the
one
exception,
so
thank
you.
I
just
had
a
few
quick
follow-ups,
then
I'd
just
like
to
quickly
just
share.
While
I
look
for
my
notes,
I
will
say
that
I
had
three
jobs
allowed
during
the
summer
months,
so
a
jobs
literally
saved
my
life.
So
for
me
this
is
personal
and
professional
and
I'm
you
and
someone
just
muted
me,
I,
don't
know
why.
H
H
Through
all
my
questions,
but
you
could
we
could
do
let
me
just
go
through
all
of
them,
because
you
might
find
some
bad
fellows,
and
so
you
mentioned
that
you
that
you
were
in
discussion
about
how
to
create
virtual
spaces
for
you
during
this
time.
Can
you
talk
to
me
a
little
bit
about
that
process?
I'm,
really
intrigued.
I'm
thinking
about
youth
virtual
peer
leaders,
you
know
I
mean
creating
opportunities
for
young
people.
They're
not
gonna,
be
able
to
be
counselors
during
the
summer.
H
What
opportunities
exist
for
them
to
assume
different
types
of
jobs
within
the
virtual
space?
So
I'm
just
curious
about
your
thinking
about
and
I
asked
this
question
during
the
Public
Works
hearing
earlier
today,
but
I
figured.
It
might
be
a
good
question
to
ask
here
as
well.
I'm
one
of
their
goals
is
to
plant
2,000
streets
and
trees
and
I'd
love
to
know
how
we
can
act
to
make
some
young
people
in
this
process.
Through
internships
there
are
10
chances.
You
know
learning
how
to
be
addressed.
H
Learning
about
landscaping
if
there's
any
opportunities
for
youth.
Well,
the
the
practice
apartment
and
your
thoughts
to
kind
of
work
in
collaboration
to
help
fund.
You
know
employment
opportunities
for
young
people,
and
this
is
my
last
question,
because
a
lot
of
the
services
are
going
digital
for
young
people
during
this
time,
I'm
curious
to
know
what
ye-es
plans
are
to
make
retro
spaces
and
languages
other
than
English
for
young
people
who
speak
other
languages.
H
C
Sure,
thank
you
I'm
counselor,
so
there
are
four
questions
that
I
gather
from
there.
So
I'll
run
through
all
four
those
questions
and
then
please,
let
me
know
if
I
missed
anything.
So
the
first
question
was
centered
around.
How
can
we
activate
young
people
right
now,
instead
of
waiting
until
the
summer,
so
from
a
youth
job
standpoint?
C
That
is
our
efforts
for
the
summer
in
terms
of
just
gearing
up
to
provide
opportunities
for
young
people
during
the
summer
months,
right
now,
I
think
we
can
think
we're
working
on
a
peer
to
peer
campaign
and
what
that
peer-to-peer
campaign
is.
How
can
we
hear
the
voices
of
young
people
and
their
experiences
during
this
time?
How
can
we
hear
about
these
stories?
How
can
we
hear
about
their
issues
and
how
could
we
pull
that
together
in
campaign
effort
that
is
launched
by
the
city?
So
there
are
some
conversations.
C
That's
happening,
our
office
chief
John
barrels
office
to
really
think
about
a
peer-to-peer
campaign
right
now,
I'm
going
into
the
summer-
and
it
was
an
ax
of
the
mayor
as
well.
So
I
believe
that
is
a
tangible
way
right
now
and
I
can
connect
with
you
about
this
to
get
some
young
people
involved
at
the
current
moment.
So
that
was
the
first
question.
C
They
will
probably
be
great
think-tank
partners
to
think
about
what
does
that
use
space
actually
look
like,
so
we
can
I
love
to
kind
of
sit
down
and
figure
out
ways
in
which
we
can
bring
multiple
folks
to
the
table.
So
we
can
begin
to
explore.
What
are
we
talking
about
in
terms
of
the
youth
space
and
then
kind
of
think
about
what
steps
can
we
take
moving
forward
to
get
there,
so
that
was
kind
of
my
my
response.
I'm
around
the
youth
space
and
then
with
the
plant
with
the
the
partnership
parks.
C
C
C
H
H
Tech
industry
to
really
create
meaningful
opportunities
for
young
people
for
employment.
I,
don't
think
that
summer
employment
is
just
the
only
I
believe
in
a
year-round.
Employment.
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
support
youth
jobs.
Oh
yeah,
anything
I
can
do
through
my
office
to
help
support
those
efforts.
I'm
raising
my
hand
to
to
help
you
do
just
that,
and
so
just
curious
about
your
engagement
with
other
businesses
across
the
city
to
have
them
open
up
their
doors
to
young
people.
We.
H
A
I
You
counselor,
Bock
and
Rashad,
it
is
so
great
to
see
you
constituent,
hope
you
and
your
family
are
doing
well,
safe
and
healthy,
and,
as
always,
thank
you
for
your
thoughtful
leadership
and
work
in
this
space.
I
know
how
passionate
you
are
for
our
young
people.
I'm
gonna
talk
really
quickly,
so
that
I
can
give
all
of
my
time
or
most
of
my
time
to
the
young
people,
who've
joined
us
and
want
to
thank
them
too.
For
being
a
part
of
this
conversation
so
critically
important.
I
We
have
a
hearing
order
that
we
filed
I
along
with
counsel
Mejia
and
counselor
Janie,
and
other
colleagues
on
council
signed
on
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
summer
programming
and
summer
jobs.
What
we
can
do
creatively
now,
what
we
can
do
in
the
summer
and
then
of
what
we
can
do,
post
koban
19
and
with
the.
I
Recent
sort
of
uptick
in
violence-
you
know
parts
of
the
city
of
quiet,
but
district
4,
largely
Dorchester
Matapan.
As
my
district
are
not
quiet,
we
know
how
critically
important
you
programming
and
jobs
are,
and
so
I
am
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
as
long
with
Midori
north-eastern
and
all
these
other
partners.
Frankly,
who
are
stepping
up
I,
guess
I'm
too
quick
questions
and
some
I
can
just
sort
of
do
via
email.
I
mentioned
this
earlier.
I
Great,
my
computer
is
freezing
I
I,
really
appreciate
the
presentation
of
the
young
people
and
have
to
say
absolutely
need
to
invest,
increase
our
budget
as
best
we
can
I
know
we
are
going
to
at
some
point
have
to
really
talk
about
the
numbers
in
the
future
post,
Cova
19,
but
to
the
extent
we
can
get
creative
and
pulling
from
reserves
resiliency
fund,
whatever
resources
are
coming
in.
This
absolutely
needs
to
be
a
priority.
I
A
Excellent
Thank
You
councillor
Campbell
I,
appreciate
that
all
right
next
up
is
councillor
asabi
George
and
then
ability,
councillor,
Edwards
and
councillor
clarity.
I
mean
I
should
note,
since
the
start
that
we
were
also
joined
by
councillor,
splint
and
Breeden,
who
will
be
after
them
so
councillors
having
George.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
for
sure.
I
think
you
should
team
and
your
youth,
especially
that
we're
here
I,
am
curious,
a
little
bit
about
work
of
the
mayor's
Youth
Council
and,
in
particular,
the
role
of
the
participatory
budget
that
they
did
this
year
or
I.
Suppose
they
did
that
through
the
you
see
the
change
effort,
I'm
curious.
J
If
people
talk
just
a
little
bit
about
that
and
then
in
separate
to
that,
or
in
addition
to
that,
kids
that
aren't
involved
in
use
employment
or
haven't
participated
at
all
haven't
been
touched
at
all
by
Yee.
What
are
the
ways
that
we're
thinking
about?
How
do
we
engage
those
young
people
in
particular,
and
you
know
I've
always
I,
guess
I
should
have
practiced.
J
My
question
my
comment
by
first
saying
how
I've
enjoyed
so
much
speaking
before
the
mayor's
Youth
Council
and
talking
to
your
group
of
kids,
that
you
have
engaged
pretty
regularly
and
that
are
at
City
Hall
pretty
regularly.
They
have
followed
up
a
number
of
times
it's
some
of
the
work
that
they're
doing
and
their
policy
their
policy
agenda
that
they've
created
on
their
own
I,
really
appreciate
that
opportunity
to
spend
time
with
them.
J
I
think
I
had
a
meeting
with
two
young
women
who
were
proud
of
your
group
around
accessing
feminine
products,
just
just
before
everything
sort
of
shut
down,
so
I
just
want
to
applaud
those
efforts
and
the
work
that
your
staff
does
every
day
to
engage
the
young
people.
Thank
you
Rashaad
and
appreciate
any
sort
of
information
that
you
want
to
share
on
any
of
those
programs.
Great.
C
So
I
can
give
a
quick
response
to
the
NYC
and
YLC.
So
we
do
have
a
dynamic
team,
I'm
working
to
move
the
youth
leader
change
and
the
matrix
Council
work
forward
and
they're
doing
an
exceptional
job
and
I
think
from
some
of
the
notes
that
I
shared
with
you
guys
about
the
current
state
of
my
see
the
program
in
what's
canceled.
C
But
we
are
trying
to
do
everything
we
can
to
prepare
for
a
virtual
I'm
NYC
in
the
event
that
is
our
reality
going
back
into
the
school
year
next
year
and
then
in
terms
of
you
through
the
change
the
program.
So
this
year
was
our
program
year.
So
I
mentioned
earlier
that
we
moved
it
to
a
two
year
phase
a
two-year
initiative.
So
this
year
was
our
program
year.
Leading
ideas
were
collected,
young
people
created
project
proposals,
young
people
voted
on
those
projects
and
there
were
three
winning
projects
this
year
the
next
year.
C
That's
upcoming
is
an
implementation
year
of
the
projects,
so
that
we
can
work
very
closely
with
the
city
departments
to
ensure
that
those
projects
are
in
fact
implemented
because
we
found
that
we
were
doing
the
program
every
year
and
it
was-
and
we
was
getting
backed
up
in
project
implementation.
So
this
upcoming
year
as
a
project
implementation
year
and
then
following
you
into
program
design
and
both
of
those
efforts
are
moving
forward
pretty
strongly.
So.
C
Three,
so
the
three
winning
projects
for
this
year
was
plant
the
city.
So
that's
you
know
that's
an
effort
to
plant.
You
know
more
trees
and
gardens
around
the
city,
I'm
heat
for
success.
These
are
young
people
that
really
care
about
the
schools.
So
this
is
a
partnership
with
Boston
Public
Schools
to
kind
of
get
more
heat
in
those
schools
and
then
Boston
shelters.
This
is
a
partnership
with
on
BPH
Woods,
Mellon
shelter.
So
those
are
the
three
on
projects
that
young
people
who
would
have
known
it.
C
J
Leadership
and
I
think
of
you
every
now
and
then,
as
a
triplet
brother,
my
boys,
my
triplets,
turned
14
on
Sunday,
so
amazing
I'm
always
impressed
your
presentation,
your
ability
to
do
this
work
and
look
for
a
similar
success
from
my
own
boys
and
down
the
line.
But
thank
you
for
shad
and
it's
great
to
see
you
happy.
A
K
You
very
much
chairwoman
Bach
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
Rashad
I
echo.
All
of
the
compliments
that
my
colleagues
have
given
you
and
I
do,
do
really
see
great
leadership
and
really
bringing
this
program
and
bringing
up
the
program
and
making
sure
we
get
out
there.
I
understand
you
have
a
lot
of
dynamics
impacting
you're
going
to
employ
youth,
but
I
hear
a
commitment
in
your
voice
to
employ
you
and
to
make
this
program
continue
to
grow.
So
I'm
very
happy
about
that.
K
I
wanted
to
make
sure
or
wanted
to
ask
me
about
a
partnership
with
nonprofits
and
how
some,
what
we've
noticed
with
even
the
housing
is
that
sometimes
some
of
the
best
outreach
and
sometimes
the
best
way
to
get
to
youth
that
is,
you
know
in
between
or
not
quite
in
line
with.
All
of
the
programs
is
to
partner
with
an
organization.
K
You
know
the
tree
program
you
just
mentioned,
for
example,
Noah's
also
the
doing
the
glance
or
to
escape
and
study
in
in
East
Boston,
so
I'm
wondering,
if
there's
a
possibility
to
take
some,
you
know
funding
or
grant
block
money
and
give
it
to
a
local
nonprofit
for
them
to
hire
directly
with
that
money,
youth
in
in
court
to
either
enhance
programs
in
the
city
or
to
enhance
the
programs
from
this
from
the
nonprofit.
So
that's
my
curiosity.
K
If
that's
possible
and
then
number
two
I
had
brought
up
a
version
of
this,
but
in
terms
of
online
jobs
that
are
now
possibly
available
to
youth,
is
there
a
way
to
look
at
that
now
that
more
youth
have
access
to
laptops
now
that
more
youth
have
access
to
electrical
equipment
working
from
home?
What
is
the
jobs
program?
Look
like
we
used
to
work
from
home.
K
No
not
so
much
as
well.
I
know
that
Noah
specifically
has
been
doing
all
of
the
kids
had
been
counting
the
trees
and
talking
about
the
the
Cheesecake
in
East
Boston
I
just
brought
that
up
as
an
example
of
just
one
organization,
that's
organizing
working
with
youth
or
something
I'm
wondering
if
and
it
seemed
to
be
among
the
three
projects
you
had
talked
about
just
just
with
a
counselor,
sorry
George.
No,
so
I
just
brought
that
out.
C
So
I
think
that
there's
four
one
there's
definitely
an
opportunity
for
them
to
be
a
partner
and
we
can
employ
young
people
to
work
through
their
program.
So
that's
the
immediate
saying
that
we
can
work
with
them
around
in
terms
of
being
able
to
provide
grants
to
those
organizations.
We
have
had
conversations
about
ways
in
which
we
can
begin
to
think
about
granting
out
some
of
our
summer
job
dollars,
but
those
are
conversations
that
are
still
ongoing
and
I.
Think
as
we
continue
to
explore
the
feasibility
of
that.
C
That
will
help
us
better
determine
how
we
can
do
that
with
community
organizations,
but
I
think
for
the
interim.
You
know
that
that
organization
can
definitely
be
a
partner
and
we
can
definitely
employ
young
people
and
pay
for
the
wages
and
have
those
young
people
still
work
at
that
organization
supporting
network.
C
So
that's
the
first
question
and
then
the
second
question
in
terms
of
the
online
virtual
engagement,
so
we
are
pulling
a
ton
of
different
virtual
options.
So
we've
had
conversations
with
Northeastern
there's
a
Google
IT
certificate
program
that
we
are
trying
to
pull
together
into
the
virtual
platform,
we're
having
conversations
with
Europe
on
Europe
as
a
condensed
version
of
their
on
curriculum,
which
is
called
grants
for
life
that
offers
work,
readiness
opportunity.
C
K
And
think,
thank
you.
I
look
forward
to
how
that
is
going
to
you
know,
come
to
fruition.
I'll
just
put
a
plug
in
again.
I,
do
think
some
form
of
block
grants
or
or
separation
of
funds
I
think
would
be
helpful.
It
also
allows
for
certain
amount
of
flex
with
a
new
organization,
maybe
just
split
it
up
with
several
part-time
workers.
K
Folks,
who
might
want
to
you
know
they
work
for
a
certain
amount
of
time
and
then
need
to
leave
and
they
can
hire
other
folks
so
I,
just
especially
if
they
don't
want
to
leave
the
community
and
want
to
stay
other
in
the
church
or
whatever
specific
organization.
I
do
think
it
would
be
very
helpful
to
consider
even
a
pilot
program
this
summer,
so.
B
As
we
hear
back
from
the
partner
survey
that
you
had
administered
back
in
mid-april
I'd
love
to
be
included
in
those
discussions
around
how
we
can
best
leverage
our
existing
partnerships.
I
know,
I
often
say
that
you
know
Boston
is
where
a
resource
rich
and
we're
an
opportunity.
Rich
City,
but
we
oftentimes
find
ourselves
working
in
silos
and
as
the
longest
serving
City
Council
I
can
tell
you.
I've
got
relationships
all
across
the
city
and
often
times
get
asked.
B
You
know
how
do
I
get
involved
and
well,
who
do
I
need
to
call
and
would
love
to
partner
stuff
like
that.
So
we
can
never
take
those
partnerships
for
granted,
given
that
some
folks
just
need
to
be
asked
for
they
really
don't
even
know
where
to
start
so
would
love
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
you
further
about
this
out
of
the
humanists
of
how
we
could
leverage
some
of
those
relationships
to
to
benefit.
You
know
our
city
sure.
B
Also
like
to
think
about
ways,
we
could
incorporate
more
of
local
colleges
and
universities
into
this
type
of
program.
I
know,
Uncle
Hill
is
doing
it
and
from
from
what
I'm
hearing
they're
doing
a
great
job
out
of
it.
So
you
know,
for
example,
we
could.
We
could
think
about
ways
to
you
know,
to
use
the
private
council
use
their
funding
paired
with
the
college
program
to
complement
that
type
of
experience
or
learning.
So
it's
I
know
earlier.
My
colleague,
council
media
talked
about
incorporating
virtual
reality
into
summer
jobs.
B
I
think
there
could
be
an
opportunity
to
prepare
kids
for
jobs
of
the
future
that
maybe
use
remote
technologies
and
I'm
sort
of
thinking
about
thinking
about
coding,
robotics,
construction
technology,
digital
design,
cybersecurity.
Things
like
that,
you
know
in
these
types
of
courses
can
all
be
done
in
a
remote
environment.
I
I
can
speak
to
having
three
of
my
kids
are
in
college
now,
and
one
of
the
things
that
their
school's
thinking
about
now
that
they've
all
been
home
taking
courses
online
and
chairwoman
bar
could
probably
speak
to
this.
B
Their
experience
is
that
College
University
now
identifying
which
programs
are
best
suited
for
online
instruction,
which
ones
traditionally
need
this
sort
of
that
traditional
professor
in
the
classroom
and
sort
of
more
the
hands-on
and
and
I
think
once
that
happens,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
result
of
kovat,
19
I
think
we're
gonna
see
our
college
universities
completely
transform
across
the
board.
So
again
those
are
sort
of
the
types
of
things
that
I'm
thinking.
B
That
would
be
right
in
your
wheelhouse
in
terms
of
using
you
know
your
passion,
your
energy,
your
skill
set
and
gonna
be
able
to
connect.
You
know
all
these
things
together.
All
these
silos
as
I
refer
to
refer
to
the
mass
and
really
take
this
to
a
whole
new
level
and
I'm
happy
to
talk
to
you
again,
offline
I'm,
happy
to
partner
with
you,
I'm
excited
about
the
future
of
this
to
500-meter
programs.
B
C
Counselor
and
then
I
appreciate
that
quick
responses
to
that.
So
we
do.
We
are
partnering
with
local
Community
College.
They
do
have
a
learn
and
earn
initiative
and
I'm
people
are
working
during
summer
draw
program
and
they're
also
taking
an
online
3-play
course
for
credit.
So
there
is
an
existing
punch
it
with
Bunker
Hill
and
we've
had
conversations
as
early
as
today
to
think
about
ways
in
which
we
can
expand
that
partnership
with
I'm
going
into
this
summer.
C
So
that
is
something
that
is
happening
and
then,
as
we
talk
about,
you
know
our
collective
summer,
jobs
plan,
the
boss
and
private
industry
Council
pick
they
are
at
the
table
in
they
are,
apart
of,
they
are
playing
a
tremendous
role
in
that
conversation
as
well.
So
it
is
not
just
us
as
Yee.
It
consists
of
ABCD
John,
Hancock,
MLK
scholars
and
Boston
pick
so
collectively
we
are
trying
to
think
of
the
strategy
together
and
not
work
in
silence.
As
you
mentioned,.
B
Very
good,
Rashad
and
obviously
I
think
it's
kind
of
dovetails
with
Pilate
payment
in
lieu
of
taxes.
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
like
that
kind
of
jump
on
our
colleges
and
universities.
They
add
tremendous
value
to
our
city
they're,
some
of
our
largest
employers.
They
do
things
oftentimes,
quietly
behind
the
scenes,
they've
been
doing,
tremendous
they've
been
partnering
and
obviously
throwing
a
shoulder
into
the
cove
at
19.
B
B
Given
you
know
again,
the
pilot
program
they're
tax
exempt
so
ways
that
we
can
get
them
more
engaged
and
involved
and
tap
into
the
resources
that
they
have
on
their
respective
campuses,
as
well
as
the
financial
backing
for
programs
is
huge,
so
again,
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
it's
good
to
see
you
good
to
talk
to
you.
Thank
you
great.
L
Thank
you,
council
block
and
thank
you
to
Rashid
for
your
presentation.
More
importantly,
for
the
great
work
that
you're
doing
you
represent
the
city
very
well.
Thanks
for
your
dedication
and
hard
work,
commitment,
I
work
closely
with
the
group
in
the
South
End
called
st.
Stephen's
Episcopal
Church,
David
youth
group.
There
it's
a
lot
of
kids
in
the
South
End
and
in
in
Roxbury
as
well
to
doing
wonderful
work
on
youth
engagement
in
after-school
educational
programs
just
want
to
see.
L
If
you
know
you
knew
about
that,
and
some
of
the
services
that
they're
there
working
on.
They
have
a
great
relationship
with
the
Blackstone
community
as
well
and
again
right
before
you,
when
the
young
people
testified,
I
enjoyed
listening
to
them
and
very
very
fortunate
to
have
these
young
people
in
our
city
working
hard,
trying
to
make
Boston
a
better,
a
better
City.
So
I
I
don't
have
any
questions
other
than
just.
If
you
want
to
take
a
look
some
time
at
the
st.
Stephen's
Church,
but
they
have
an
excellent
youth
program
they
ever
again.
C
L
A
You
so
much
councillor,
Flynn
and
yes,
st.
Stephen's
is
awesome,
great
program,
all
right
next
up,
councillor,
breathe
in
and
then
just
so
folks
know.
I'm
gonna
continue
to
defer
my
questions.
I
have
a
bunch
of
questions
and
they're
mostly
related
to
this
question
of
how
we
amp
up
support
for
youth
jobs
this
summer,
but
I
do
want
to
let
the
you
advocate
speak
for
themselves,
so
I'm
gonna
go
to
councillor
Breeden
and
then,
after
her
we'll
go
to
the
public
testimony
and
all
I'll
back
clean
up
with
some
questions.
After
so
councillor,
great.
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
she,
the
summer
jobs
program.
It
will
be
critical
and
I
really
appreciate
your
creativity
and
thinking
outside
the
box
and
thinking
of
all
sorts
of
ways.
We
can
provide
jobs
this
summer.
One
concern
I
heard
from
another
local
youth
youth
organization
in
the
neighbourhood.
M
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
councillor,
Breeden
and
now,
as
I
said,
I'm
gonna
go
to
some
testimony,
I'm,
so
I'll
read
off
a
few
other
names
and
then
and
then
let
you
into
the
way
in
your
room,
I'll
recognize
you
and
then
we'll
add
a
few
more
people
in
so
we're
gonna
be
starting
off
with
testimony
from
Armani
white.
Oh
no
I
think
our
money
may
have
just
had
to
leave
alright,
so
skipping
our
money.
For
a
moment.
A
Our
money,
if
you're
watching
you're,
welcome
to
rejoin
we'll
hear
from
daisya
Charles
and
then
NEFT
our
Daryl
loose
and
then
jamika
Mourinho
do
those
three
first,
okay,
so
and
I'm.
Please
forgive
me
folks.
If
I
mispronounced,
your
name
just
make
sure
to
introduce
yourself
at
the
start,
so
that
everyone
can
know
how
its
properly
said
so.
N
Hi,
thank
you.
My
name
is
deja
and
I'm
not
gonna,
be
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
member
of
ISA.
So
these
are
her
words
good
day.
All
my
name
is
Phoebe
I'm,
a
junior
at
Brighton,
High,
School
I'm
here
representing
the
superintendent's
executive
cabinet,
Boston,
Student,
Advisory,
Council
and
youth
on
board.
I
am
writing
to
advocate
from
more
youth
jobs
and
to
tell
the
importance
of
these
jobs
in
our
community.
N
These
jobs
are
important
because
it
gives
us
use
the
opportunity
to
learn
skills
that
we
are
not
taught
at
school.
It
also
gives
us
first-hand
experience
of
what
it
is
like
to
work
for
someone.
You
started
the
future
and
it
is
the
responsibility
of
everyone.
Listening
to
this.
To
make
sure
we
have
the
training
and
resources
to
help
us
succeed
in
the
future.
Look
at
this.
N
N
The
last
point
I
am
going
to
bring
up,
is
having
a
job
at
a
younger
age
tends
to
boost
confidence
and
self
resilience.
They
will
have
more
confidence
when
applying
to
jobs
and
more.
There
are
many
more
reasons
why
youth
jobs
are
crucial.
I
hope
you
give
this
the
funding.
They
need
to
ensure
a
better
future
for
us,
because
remember,
we
are
the
future.
Thank
you.
O
A
little
bit
for
themselves
and
their
children
bills
are
piling
up
loved
ones,
getting
sick,
some
or
even
thinking
about
where
the
next
meal
will
come
from
the
access
to
use
genomics
could
have
helped
all
things
we
are
accessing.
The
budget
for
the
youth
jobs
be
increased
to
15
billion
dollars
the
school
year.
Programs
are
fully
funded,
fully
funded
and
running.
O
Really
one
picture
you
want
the
won't
get
it
be:
an
increase
of
jobs
like
up
to
like
5,000
summer
jobs
for
youth
and
a
thousand
new
jobs,
ranging
from
September
2
all
the
way
to
June,
also
the
ages.
You
would
like
to
extend
the
ages.
You
know
how
the
ages
for
the
summer
jobs
and
all
that
stuff,
you
have
to
be
14
and
you
can't
work
a
success.
Link
anymore.
O
A
D
My
little
game
as
a
mom
of
17
old
twins
in
a
basa
public
school
system,
one
whom
is
profoundly
deaf,
a
student
at
Horace,
Mann,
School,
put
it
up
and
writing
in
he
was
decided
to
join
the
workforce
last
summer.
It
was
his
first
year
and
one
that
accommodates
him
made
him
feel
even
more
happy.
I
worked
in
recovery
and
walks
right
with
mothers
where
their
children
living
with
them.
D
This
is
a
normal
occurrence
in
in
the
city
where
either
the
mothers
sing
or
both
parents
are
working
to
provide
for
their
families
to
no
avail
to
make
ends
meet.
These
can
feel
that
stress
want
to
help.
My
son
save
18
hundred
of
his
summer.
Paycheck
the
rescues
sorted
school
supplies
in
holding
a
lot
of
the
youth
would
love
the
opportunity
to
work,
but
they
either
don't
know
about
the
opportunity,
not
enough
outreach,
no
resume
or
no
idea
how
to
write
one
with
that
being
said,
it
would
benefit
these
communities.
D
The
funding
that's
going
to
the
police
department
for
overtime
would
lower.
They
need
a
patrol.
They
got
summer
jobs.
This
will
lower.
The
need
of
patrol
in
the
area
is
Lily
streets.
What
are
the
streets
on
the
possibly
kidneys
contain
at
the
community
in
the
communities
that
they
had
a
place
to
go?
That
could
teach
the
foundation
whatever
C
structure
their
lifestyle.
Positive
social
emotional
outlook
on
the
world
will
come
from
this
in
the
world
around
them
working
with
the
communities
in
these
demographics.
D
A
Thank
you
so
much
to
make
it
so
next
up,
it's
Amanda
Amanda
your
turn.
If
gonna
meet
yourself
and
that
it'll
be
Maria,
didn't
get
spray
and
then
Arlen.
P
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
guys
for
having
me
my
name
is
Amanda
Cole
van
I
am
a
residential
representative
for
on
reclaim
Roxbury
I'm.
Also
a
Roxbury
representative
for
the
ITP
coalition
and
I
lived
in
Lennox
Street,
which
is
Boston
housing,
and
we
have
a
vibrant
about
of
youth
on
the
property
and
I
just
want
to
speak
to
a
couple
of
issues
that
I
noticed
that
has
been
going
on
in
the
past
couple
of
years.
P
Really
is
enough
because
we
have
I
would
say
we
have
more
than
just
five
thousand
teenagers
in
the
city
in
general,
and
even
though
this
teaches
a
lot
of
the
youth
life
skills,
employment
skills,
professional
skills,
a
lot
of
stuff
that
they
don't
learn
in
the
school.
These
funds
have
to
be
allocated
set
aside
and
protected,
because
I
feel
every
year
we
shouldn't
be
having
conversations
about
the
youth
budget
when
we
already
know
that
money
needs
to
be
put
aside
for
the
youth
during
the
summer
too.
P
P
That's
already
that
should
already
be
in
place
and
protected,
because
the
youth
in
the
city
and
outside
the
city
needs
to
be
protected
as
well,
and
I
also
wanted
to
actually
give
a
shout-out
to
a
lot
of
the
armed
nonprofit
organizations
that
are
actually
working
with
the
city
government
to
actually
allocate
and
actually
understand
and
know
that
they
need
to
bring
their
resources
forward
as
well
to
actually
teach
the
youth
and
you
actually
have
them
start
on
an
actual
lifetime
employment
path
and
actually
have
a.
You
know.
P
A
way
to
actually
having
a
career
once
they
graduate
high
school
and
actually
know
just
because
this
pandemic
is
going
on.
That
doesn't
mean
that
your
life
has
to
stop.
This
doesn't
mean
that
you
know
your
life
has
to
be
put
on
pause.
Everybody
is
figuring
out
a
way
and
we're
figuring
out
a
way
for
you
as
well.
So
I
really.
Thank
you
guys
for
that.
A
Q
Those
programs
are
directed
by
fellow
students.
The
classrooms
are
taught
by
college
students
working
alongside
junior
counselors,
teen
counselors,
many
of
whom
are
funded
through
the
Yee
program.
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
little
bit
about
maybe
take
a
slightly
different
set
of
perspectives.
Cuz
I
echo
everything
everyone
said
and
I
want
to
appreciate
what
Amanda
just
said
in
terms
of
considering
multi-year
funding
sort
of.
Q
Why
my
line
items
it
makes
lot
of
sense
instead
of
us
showing
back
up
here
every
year
and
I
saying
that
if
someone
who's
been
in
this
movement
and
at
these
hearing
since
the
late
90s,
so
this
feels
silly
to
have
to
do
every
year,
but
especially
important
this
year.
So
the
things
that
are
true
about
why
these
jobs
matter
every
year
are
still
true
this
summer.
But
I
would
add
that
there's
some
additional
considerations
that
make
this
investment
actually
a
smart
decision
for
the
city
at
large.
Q
It's
also
kind
of
a
bargain
really
when
we're
thinking
about
long-term
economic
costs
to
our
city.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
our
our
teens
work
in
the
classroom,
that's
right!
So
this
summer,
we're
planning
on
continuing
to
run.
You
may
have
to
remember,
we
say,
probably
will
and
we're
gonna
be,
focusing
on
making
sure
that
the
children
in
our
programs
are
receiving
tutoring
and
small
group
instruction
around
preliminary
standards.
Q
Those
are
the
standards
that
were
identified
by
the
Department
of
Education
to
make
sure
that
invested
in
those
standards
before
the
children
start
the
following
year,
and
many
of
our
children,
as
we
know
be
piece,
has
done
a
tremendous
job.
I've
been
amazed
as
a
parent
and
seeing
this
firsthand,
but
many
of
our
children
lack
access
right
now
and
are
falling
further
behind.
Q
So
we're
not
just
talking
about
summer
learning
loss
this
summer,
we're
talking
about
the
kovetz
slide
as
well,
and
so
the
need
to
really
invest
in
our
children
and
our
so
many
of
our
teens
who
work
as
counselors
help
make
that
possible
for
the
children.
So
it's
kind
of
a
multiplier
effect
investment
and
making
sure
that
the
teens
have
the
jobs
summer.
Q
The
thing
that
I
wanna
to
name
in
terms
of
why
this
matters
for
investment
in
the
teens
is
that
making
sure
that
the
teens
have
that
connection
is
extremely
important,
always
and
more
so
than
ever
this
summer.
So
they
may
also
have
been
dealing
with
sort
of
loss
of
academic
loss.
These
past
few
bites
people
in
critical
years
that
impact
our
ultimate
numbers
with
the
Department
of
Education.
Q
How
much
funding
you
end
up
getting
so
we
should
be
connecting
these
young
people
to
programs
to
caring
adults
to
make
sure
that
they're
on
track
this
summer
and
have
those
connections
so
they're
not
falling
for
behind
and
affecting
because
rating
the
achievement
gap
for
young
people
this
summer.
So
it's
a
huge
argument
for
us
to
make
that.
Actually.
This
is
a
smart
economic
investment
and
said
that
look
people
from
losing
stuff
down
the
line
and
then
the
other
piece
around
that
that
I
just
want
a
name.
Q
Is
that
we're
a
and
it's
really
important
to
make
sure
that
our
families
and
our
young
people
in
our
use
are
connected
in
a
way
that
they're
getting
accurate
information
around
public
health
and,
what's
going
on
that,
they
have
places
to
be
safely
and
to
know
and
have
the
resources
you
got
it's
a
way
for
us
to
make
sure
we're
getting
resources
to
the
broader
community
and
to
the
families.
Many
of
the
parents
of
these
young
people
have
been
laid
off.
Q
Don't
have
jobs,
don't
have
income,
and
so
the
income
to
these
teens
and
young
people
is
going
to
matter
now
more
than
ever.
It's
it's
just
a
really
smart
move
for
us
to
do
as
somebody
who's
been
part
of
these
for
a
long
time.
I
just
want
to
say
also.
Fifteen
million
dollars
is
nothing.
It
is
a
very
small
increase.
I'm,
not
gonna,
say
that
I'm
advocating
for
us
to
to
go
up,
I'm,
actually
gonna,
say
I'm
not
advocating
for
us
to
go
back
when
I.
Q
We
were
doing
these
things,
the
late
90s
we
were
advocating
for
14.5
million
dollars.
If
you
do
inflation,
that's
what
that's
what
the
funding
was,
if
you
do,
inflation
we're
actually
way
under
what
we
used
to
be,
and
we
actually
used
to
have
for
14
to
22
year
olds.
So
this
is
not
like
a
new
thing,
it's
something
that
was
cut
that
we
cut
and
you
can
see
direct
correlation
between
when
we
made
these
cuts
to
the
increase
in
violence
in
the
city
that
we
call
the
Boston
Marathon
really
talked
about
at
the
time.
Q
A
lot
of
that
was
investment
that
we
made
in
these
meaningful
opportunities
for
young
people.
So
I
really
want
to
support
these
job
coalition,
a
platform
in
terms
of
making
sure
we
get
14
to
22
year
olds.
We
expand
the
platform
we
go
to
the
15
million
and
want
to
offer
that
we'd
be
happy
to
take
increase
people.
I
know
the
survey
went
out
in
April
Rashaad.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Q
I
want
to
say
many
of
us
didn't
kind
of
know
what
was
gonna
happen
in
April,
so
I
think
it
might
be
doing
some
follow-up
phone
calls
or
bringing
these
providers
back
together
to
brainstorm,
how
we
can
expand
opportunities
across
the
board,
so
we'd
be
happy
to
take
that,
with
the
help
of
the
census
to
help
you
voter
registration
to
do
additional
areas
outside
of
either
the
classroom
support.
So
thank
you.
Q
All
I
really
really
do
sincerely
appreciate
you
guys
having
this
hearing
and
listening
to
the
young
people
and
all
the
leadership
you've
had
around
the
kováts
situation,
but
as
I
say
to
my
own
organization,
you
know
if
you're
ever
gonna
use
reserves.
This
is
why
we
have
deserts
or
summarize
like
this,
so
please,
please
consider
the
reserves
we've
had
of
the
flesh
past
of
years
and
invest.
A
Thank
you
so
much
Priya
next
up
we've
got
Ireland
and
then
it
will
be
David
and
then
markeesha
and
then
nurse
again
can
I
all
right
Ireland.
A
R
My
name
is
Arlene
I'm
from
Dorchester
Mattapan
that
area
this
past
school
year,
I've
had
the
privilege
of
working
at
the
Roxbury
environmental
empowerment
project
brief
for
short
I'm
here,
advocating
for
the
youth
job
during
these
uncertain
times,
because
they
provide
security
for
many
families
across
Kovan
19
has
disproportionately
affected
the
lives
of
people
of
color
in
our
city.
I
personally
know
many
young
people
who
have
loved
ones
in
the
hospital
currently
because
of
the
phone
virus
and
also
other
health
conditions
which
they
can't
visit
because
of
the
pandemic.
R
This
in
combination
with
people
are
believing
their
jobs
and
being
laid
off.
Two
thirds
of
Kogan
makes
things
just
that
much
more
difficult.
Please
don't
make
young
people
losing
their
jobs
during
the
summer
or
not
having
access
to
a
job
pile
onto
the
issues.
Families
are
really
experiencing.
I
also
want
to
mention
how,
because
we
are
not
living
under
regular
circumstances,
young
people
can't
just
go
out
and
look
for
other
jobs
that
they
usually
would
be
able
to
get
like,
for
example,
working
in
retail
if
they
weren't
I'm
working
to
be
serious.
R
Boston's
drunk
like
Boston's
young
people,
have
limited
access
to
these
things
because
it's
Ovid
and
that
the
DCYF
program
is
and
off
like
in,
in
most
cases
their
last
strand
of
Hope
when
looking
for
a
way
to
provide
for
themselves
and
their
families,
which
is
why
I
also
want
to
push
you
all
to
what,
in
your
age,
range
to
include
people
from
the
ages
of
14
to
22
in
your
program
to
support
as
many
people
as
possible.
During
closing,
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
A
S
S
This
means
that
they
have
to
help
their
families
when
it
comes
to
paying
rent
and
household
necessities
without
a
job,
young
people
will
no
longer
be
able
to
help
their
families
or
worst
case
scenario,
will
try
to
find
a
job
that
is
not
leaving
these
jobs,
put
young
people's
lives
at
risk
and
are
dangerous,
because
there
are
no
regulations
like
government
provided
jobs.
When
people
are
pushed
to
the
wall,
they
will
do
what
they
can
to
survive
and
America's
young
people
are
no
different.
Providing
jobs
keeps
people
from
doing
things
they
shouldn't.
S
It
gives
them
a
place
to
be
and
something
else
to
do,
but
your
spare
time
that
provides
them
with
some
money.
Another
reason
why
youth
jobs
are
important
is
that
it
gives
young
people
proper
exposure
to
the
workforce.
I
know
for
me
personally.
I
do
not
know
what
field
I
want
to
procure
in
the
future,
but
being
able
to
work
as
any
given
has
given
me
more
experiences
and
feels
I
didn't
know.
I
was
interested
in
new
jobs.
Allow
youth
to
be
productive
parts
of
society.
S
A
You
David
all
right,
Marcus
chat
and
then
no
Sica
and
then
Kanaya
and
I'll
just
say
before
we
go
to
markeesha
if
I
think
George,
Jason
and
Janelle
are
the
only
ones
left
in
the
waiting
room.
So
if
any
of
you
all
and
I
don't
have
you
on
my
list
to
testify,
if
you
want
to
testify
just
raise
your
hand
and
y'all
got
to
go
after
all
right
so
Marky
show
you
have
the
floor
and
you
have
to
unmute
yourself.
T
Sorry
about
that,
so
yeah
I'm
gonna
be
really
quick.
I
just
want
number
one
to
say
how
impressed
I
am
and
how
like
proud,
I
am
to
listen
to
these
Jews
plead
their
case.
T
These
are
the
the
they're,
so
smart,
and
so
articulate
and
I
want
I
feel
like
this
is
the
reason
why
we
need
to
invest
in
our
use
when
we
don't
they,
they
represent
what
we
put
into
them,
having
the
having
the
tools
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
succeed
and
to
be
able
to
work,
have
be
able
to
get
necessities,
be
able
to
get
just
the
basics.
Be
able
to
have
food,
be
able
to
have
computers,
be
able
to
have
the
tools
that
they
need
in
order
to
get
ahead
this.
T
This
is
what
we
need
to
teach
them.
We
need
to
teach.
We
need
to
invest
in
our
use
because
we
need
to
teach
them
that
they
are
important
to
us
so
that
the
next
generation
invests
in
their
use
and
that's
how
we
change
our
society
in
the
way
society
looks
at
us
in
the
way
I'll
use
look
at
themselves,
so
I
just
wanted
to
tell
you
guys.
You
are
important
to
me
and
I
really
hope
that
the
you
know
they
invest
in
youth
jobs.
T
I
have
a
15
year
old
right
now
at
home,
and
my
you
know
the
kids
that
my
kids
are
very
smart,
but
if
we
don't,
if
they
don't
have
what,
if
I'm
not
able
to
buy
them
a
computer
or
able
to
get
they
don't
they
have
to
worry
about
how
they
feel
about
when
they
go
back
to
school
or
how
people
view
them
I,
don't
think
those
should
be
worries
that
that
our
children
should
have.
T
D
Hi,
my
name
is
no
speaka
again
again,
I'm
from
Hyde
Park
and
today
I
will
be
testifying
in
support
of
jobs.
So,
as
many
as
you
all
know,
we
are
currently
in
a
pandemic
and
it
has
been
getting
way
much
worse,
rather
than
better
and
many
families
have
been
going
through
a
lot
financially
mentally
and
physically,
and
though
we
cannot
do
much
one
thing
that
we
can
do
with
movie
at
the
financial
burden
by
putting
more
money
into
you,
drugs
we're
helping
those
families
where
either
laid
off
or
currently
unemployed
or
filing
for
unemployment.
D
Many
families,
especially
low-income
or
and
PLC
families,
are
struggling
heavily
in
our
communities
and
their
youth
would
like
to
help
as
we.
It
is
very
hard
to
watch
my
mom
work
extra
hard
to
make
money
to
pay
for
the
bills
and
pay
for
everything
during
this
pandemic,
especially
when
she's
gonna
such
to
worker.
D
It
was
much
easier
for
her
to
work
during
a
time
in
the
pandemic
wasn't
around
because
she
felt
more
comfortable
going
outside,
but
as
a
person
who
has
many
illnesses,
including
diabetes,
high
cholesterol
and
also
anxiety,
it
is
harder
for
to
work
her
best
as
a
nurse
knowing
that
she
can
possibly
get
a
sickness
like
that
is
very
detrimental
to
her
body,
especially
at
the
age
of
she
is
me
being
able
to
work
now
throughout.
The
pandemic
is
a
very
big
help
in
my
family,
even
though
it
may
not
be
a
lot.
D
That's
why
I
think
that
the
coronaviruses
and
nothing
more
than
push
into
the
inevitable
and
realizing
that
youth
matters
and
I?
Can
you
in
our
economy
and
youths
matters
in
our
future?
Because
of
that,
we
need
to
support
them
more
by
funding
for
more
new
jobs,
to
not
only
help
them
in
the
time
right
now,
but
also
develop
them
with
the
people
that
we
want
to
see
on
our
side
tomorrow.
D
So
I'm
acting
now
when
we
take
into
account
what
the
city
budget
should
look
like,
you
should
think
about
how
we
are
funding
for
a
better
future,
so
instead
do
not
add
on
to
the
oppression
and
the
burden
with
that,
these
youth
and
their
family
go
through,
but
it
alleviate
them
by
adding
more
money
into
the
budget.
Thank
you.
G
Reading
the
testimony
from
someone
at
the
sac,
hello,
everyone,
my
name-
is
Simon
I
am
a
16
year
old
student
from
Boston,
MA
and
Academy
I'm
talking
here
today,
because
I
believe
it's
both
essential
and
vital
that
your
summer
job
program
could
take
places.
There
are
fedora
breeds,
been
blighted,
youth
jobs
provide
so
much
for
the
city
of
there's.
So
much
for
the
citizens
of.
G
Young
people,
it
would
also
extremely
healthy,
confident
and
many
organizations
in
the
city
I
have
come
to
see
that
many
organizations
actually
providing
young
workers
to
work
for
them
and
the
city
to
do
a
lot
of
the
what
they
need
to
get
done.
For
example,
my
ninth
day
summer
I
was
a
lifeguard,
a
team
at
the
beach
knew
I
have
pool
in
every
day.
It's
the
most
minute
I'm
taking
calls
cleaning
bathrooms
and
doing
the
work.
No
one
else
had
the
time
to
do
between
the
life
lights
and
a
manager.
G
G
G
Additionally
and
my
template,
so
my
I
work
for
the
FASTA
Student
Advisory
Council.
This
is
a
job.
Clearly
student,
like
organization,
all
all
students
exist.
This
shows
exactly
how
boring
it
is
just
because
they
affect
so
much
more
than
people
realize.
Furthermore,
it's
a
lesson
that
students
learn
and
that
early
on
jobs
are
very
important
to
their
future.
G
This
is
because
they
now
have
responsibilities
and
a
boss
or
someone
above
them
telling
them
what's
sharp
summer
and
get
the
job
done.
When
I
receive
a
check
every
other
week,
they
then
have
to
think
and
working
how
that
money
will
convince
will
be
given
their
check
there
I
go
to
their
families
and
eat
anything
that
will
help
them
better
understand,
cost
the
city
money.
These
are
very
important
skills
learned
and
that
are
vital
for
young
people
to
learn
it.
G
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
kind.
Alright,
I
think
that
concludes
the
public.
Testimony
portion
of
our
hearing
and
I'm
really
grateful
to
everybody
for
for
testifying
and
also
to
to
the
many
folks
who
testified
for
sticking
around
I'm
waiting
to
do
that.
It's
really
a
benefit
to
all
of
us
to
hear
your
voices
rashad.
If
you
don't
mind,
I
have
a
few
questions
that
I
wanted
to
raise
and
then
I'll
see
you
I'll
see
you
Friday
councillors,
Abbey
Georgia
counselor,
you
didn't
have
follow-ups
as
well.
A
So
so
my
question
is
a
couple,
so
one
is
I
mean
to
the
point
that
the
young
folks
raised
about
you
know
for
a
couple
years
running,
we
haven't
spent
all
the
budget
Authority
that
ye
has
on
summer
link
I'm
just
curious
about
like
to
me.
I
would
really
like
to
see
us
have
a
big
surge
and
youth
jobs
and
there's
two
pieces
of
that
right
and
one
of
it
is
advocating
for
more
money
and
which
is
something
that,
like
I,
intend
to
do
in
this
process.
A
Obviously,
for
you,
it's
like
you
have
to
administer
what
you
get,
but
then,
but
then
there's
a
separate
question,
which
is
even
if
we
get
that
budget
Authority.
You
know
the
raise
to
sign-up
potential
host
organizations,
whether
they're,
public,
private
or
nonprofit,
for
our
for
our
young
people
I
mean.
A
Obviously
the
council
hasn't
yet
seen
the
sort
of
data
on
who's
saying
yeah,
they're
still
up
for
it
and
who's
saying
they're
not,
but
but
it
seems
to
me
like
we're
gonna
like
to
in
order
to
even
fund
a
bunch
more
jobs
and
we
need
a
bunch
more
placements
and
I
would
love
to
be
part
of
kind
of
really
pushing
on
that.
A
So
to
that
point,
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
the
challenges
have
been
in
the
past
in
terms
of
placing
as
many
youth
as
we
budgeted
for
and
and
what
your
strategies
are
for,
whatever
your
budget
authority
ends
up
being
for
this
summer,
making
sure
that
we
are
using
every
dollar
of
it
to
place.
Somebody
in
a
job
sure.
C
Counselor
so
first
thank
you
to
all
the
young
people
who
testified
I'm,
definitely
very,
very
helpful
and
great
to
hear
your
advocacy
for
yourselves
in
Flook
appear
so
definitely
appreciate
it.
I'm
hearing
all
of
you
speak
today,
counselor
so
to
your
question.
So
I've
been
in
my
role
for
about
four
years
and
well,
the
September
will
make
four
years,
and
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
that
we
have
seen
is
the
actual
hiring
process
for
young
people,
the
hiring
process.
It
is
a
come
from
some
process
because
we're
hiring
them
was
city
employees.
C
C
We
relaxed
some
of
the
guidelines
as
much
as
we
can
to
still
ensure
that
we're
following
federal
guidelines
and
Ohr
guidelines
to
employee
young
people,
but
I
think
that
we
have
to
think
a
little
bit
more
creative
in
terms
of
ways
in
which
we
can
support
young
people
with
you
know
not
being
able
to
follow
through
on
the
completion
of
a
lot
of
their
paperwork,
because
the
jobs
have
been
filled.
It's
just
they're
having
a
gap
in
number
of
young
people
who
have
either
one
didn't
complete
the
paperwork
or
two
they
may
have.
C
You
know
taking
one
of
our
successive
jobs,
but
they
may
have
also
applied
for
a
job
with
pick
or
ABCD,
so
they
may
have
taken
one
of
those
jobs
and
then
we're
not
aware
of
it.
So
that's
why
I
think
in
our
fiscal
year
20
accomplishment.
You
will
see
that
we
talked
about
working
on
trying
to
improve
our
alignment
across
all
of
these
some
Ajanta
providers
to
make
sure
that
we're
at
accounting
for
all
of
the
jobs
that
were
provided
to
young
people,
not
just
the
successive
jobs.
C
C
So
we're
so
we're
still
waiting
to
we're
combing
through
and
I.
Think
Maria
from
PB
eights
Phillips
Brooks
house
mentioned
this,
so
we
are
circling
back
around
to
all
of
the
partner
organizations
that
completed
the
survey.
The
survey
went
out
mid-april
and
yes,
you
realize
that
there
are
organizations
who
are
in
a
different
place.
Now
they
were
mid-april,
so
we
are
circling
back
around
to
them
to
really
get
a
commitment
on
whether
or
not
they
can
move
forward
with
summer
jobs.
C
During
this
time
and
then
the
mayor
has
put
an
axe
count
to
all
city
departments
if
they
have
the
capacity
and
ability
to
host
young
people
during
summers.
Well,
so
Midori
and
myself
were
fielding
any
requests
from
more
city
departments
that
are
interested
and
working
with
us
to
design
I'm
job
opportunity
to
young
people
and
in
early
in
terms
of
just
general
community-based
organizations,
we
are
open
to
more
community
organizations
that
are
not
currently
partners
that
may
be
interested
in
providing.
C
A
Certainly
suggest
that
I
think
you
know
I
think
we
need
to
have
as
many
placements
as
we
can
and
I'm
sure
I'm,
not
the
only
one
of
colleagues
who
would
be
happy
to
feel
such
a
email
positively.
I
think.
My
other
question
is
just
to
your
point
about
the
difficulty
with
paperwork
and
hiring
I
mean
to
me.
It
raises
the
question
of:
should
we
I
think
this
was
part
of
what
councilor
Edwards
was
maybe
getting
at,
but
like?
Is
there
a
way
for
us
to
send
some
of
the
summer
like
funding?
A
A
They've
got
you
know
something
set
up
because
it
just
seems
like
the
I'm
familiar
with
the
process
of
becoming
a
city
worker
I
think
we
all
are,
and
it
is
it's
frankly,
a
hurdle
that
like
takes
a
lot
of
adults
some
time
to
get
through,
and
so
it
just
seems
like
in
an
emergency
situation
like
we're
in
right
now
figuring
out
how
to
minimize
that
kind
of
friction.
It
just
seems
more
important
than
ever.
C
Yeah
and
we
lose
the
online
process
a
lot,
but
you're
right,
we're
still
hiring
the
city
of
Boston
employees,
so
there
are
thoughts
and
kernels
in
place
there.
So
again,
we're
gonna
circle
back
around
just
continue
to
have
discussions
about
the
grant
and
now
opportunity
and
kind
of
see
where
we
can
land
with
that.
So
your
points,
well-taken,
okay,.
J
Want
to
ask
anything:
I
just
want
to
give
a
thumbs-up
today,
I
think
they're
hosting
a
student
or
one
of
our
young
people
in
our
offices.
I,
don't
recall
ever
having
communications
in
that
request.
So
I
don't
know
if
councillor
Campbell
did
that
in
her
capacity
as
council
president.
Perhaps
sometimes
there
was
a
little
bit
of
extra
funding
through
central
budget
for
that
but
I.
J
You
know
three
cheers
for
that:
I
endorsed
that
idea
of
bringing
kids
in
we've
done
it
through
a
similar
program
through
the
mass
Commission
for
the
blind
and
it's
just
always,
and
then
we've
had
some
other
interns
through
other
opportunities
and
the
summer
young
people.
It's
always
been
very
successful.
So
I
endorse
that
idea.
Yeah.
A
And
Rashad
I
just
asked
you
so
because
I
saw
in
their
response,
I
think
that
you
all
sent
to
us
that
you
know.
Obviously
the
plan
is
for
3,300
success,
linked
jobs
and
then
I
think.
But
then
it
said
number
projected
for
2020
was
2000.
C
So
counsel
that
really
kind
of
reflects
on
the
unknown
around
mainly
around
Camp
jobs.
So
a
lot
of
our
success,
st.
jobs,
our
camp
jumps
and
within
the
BC
YF
centers
and
Boys
and
Girls
Club
camps
is
YMCA
camps,
so,
as
the
Department
of
Public
Health
is
making
their
decision
around
public
health
guidelines
and
they're
making
their
decision
around
Camp
jobs,
we're
assuming
that
you
know
there'll
be
a
little
cut.
C
A
Yeah,
it
seems
to
me:
I
mean
you
know.
Obviously
the
young
people
are
advocating
for
5,000
instead
of
3,300
I
think
to
go
down
to
2,000
on.
Even
in
this.
You
know,
piece
of
the
puzzle
would
be
really
sad,
but
it
just
seems
to
me
like
we're,
not
gonna.
It's
like
we're,
not
gonna,
get
we're
not
gonna
get
to
a
surge
number
think
like
just
like
super
incrementally
right.
A
It's
like
you
and
we
need
whole
new
categories
of
do
things,
and
so
that
I
was
excited
to
see
about
your
partnerships
with
Public,
Works
and
parks
and
sort
of
I.
Think
there's
a
opportunity
with
Housing,
Authority
I
think
you
know
we
should
be
thinking
about
sort
of
whole
cores
of
jobs
that
we
can
stand
up
for
young
people
on
the
public
side
to
substitute
this
summer,
but
I
just
I
really
I
really
want
to
voice.
A
They
need
not
to
just
kind
of
passively
wait
for
and
I
don't
mean
I
know,
you're
doing
it
amazing
about
it.
Work
I
just
mean
like
I.
Don't
want
us
to
just
wait
to
see
what
our
existing
partners
say
and
then
kind
of
like
live
with
the
result,
because
it
seems
to
me,
like
you
know,
we've
got
a
we've
got
to
have
these
jobs,
so
it's
we're.
So
if
we
have
a
gap,
we
I
don't
know
what
it
is
and
I
think
I.
Think
a
lot
of
us
council
colleagues
are
happy
to.
A
Yeah
and
yeah
and
I
think
that's,
those
are
I
believe,
and
can
you
just
tell
me
just
like
sorry
and
forgive
me
for
not
knowing
this,
but
just
is
there
like
a?
Is
there
a
supervisory
position
built
into
the
program
or
to
do
and
or
like
in
terms
of
supervising
the
teens
or
there
are
there
sort
of,
or
are
there
jobs
for
the
young
people
that
kind
of
are
more
supervisory
for
the
older
young
people?
Can
you
just
explain
that
piece
to
me,
yeah.
C
C
It
is
a
part
of
our
3300
jobs
on
for
young
people,
so
partner
organizations,
I've
acts
for
you
know
more
than
like
there's
been
a
higher
Dominion
and
the
number
of
you
know
18
to
24
supervisor
positions
that
we
have
so
I
think
that
is
a
conversation
at
which
we
can
continue
to
think
up
creatively
about
continue
to
have
about
how
we
increase
that,
but
yeah,
it's
a
very
small
component.
200
is
not
a
lot
at
all,
but
it's
it's
there
and.
A
Is
there
a
reason
I
mean,
are
we
are
they
like
marks
and
say
like?
Why
would
we
not
I
mean
again
I
guess
this
is
to
better
question
the
question
about
sort
of
expanding
the
age
range
to
14
to
22
I
mean.
Is
there
a
reason
that
we
wouldn't
kind
of
think
about
expanding
past
those
200
supervisor
roles
to
you
know
doubling
tripling
it
making
it?
You
know
just
curious.
What
what
do
you
see
is
the
limitations
on
that
so.
C
So
if
we
didn't
have
those
supervisor
positions,
those
would
equate
to
youth
positions
and
that
youth
positions
will
probably
go
from
3100,
essentially
to
maybe
like
30,
you
know,
500
or
so
so.
I
think
it's
just
been
largely
that
it's
just
funding
and
yeah
I
think
it's
just
funding.
I
can't
say
that
there's
any
other
reason
why,
aside
from
us
we're
level
funded,
we've
been
level
funded
for
a
number
of
years.
Certainly
since
I've
come
into
this
role,
so
it's
us
taking.
A
C
C
It's
on
its
places,
but
is
also
we
budget
for
every
young
person
to
work
the
full
duration
of
the
summer.
So
that's
the
full
six
or
seven
weeks,
the
full
25
hours
a
week
and
young
people
have
young
people
that
are
even
working.
You
know
they
have
vacations
with
their
families.
They
may
not
work
every
hour,
so
there
are
some.
If
you
think
about
3,000
jobs.
They're
awesome
savings,
you
know
from
those
jobs
so
that
savings
is
taking
its
carry
over
to.
Q
A
C
C
Yeah
so
I
think
the
primary
reason
for
the
successive
program,
not
starting
at
14.
It
can
be
a
number
of
things.
So
when
I
came
into
the
world,
it
was
a.
It
was
a
program
that
target
it
was
a
program
that
targeted
15
18
year-olds
and
that
we
were
also
under
DCYF
and
BC
YF.
As
you
aware,
they
have
a
pretty
strong
pre-employment
programme
for
13
and
14
year
olds,
which
is
their
super
teen
program,
and
that
super
teen
program
has
been
a
feeder
program
into
the
successful
youth
jobs
program.
C
So
you
know
my
thinking
you
know
has
been
like.
How
do
we
continue
to
work
with?
Bc
is
because
they
have
a
their
program,
is
structured
for
that
13
and
14
year
old
population,
and
they
have
great
stats
and
do
a
great
job
with
that
model.
How
can
we
look
to
increase
funding
for
that
Ram
and
have
those
you
know,
have
partnerships
with
CBO's
that
are
still
a
part
of
growing
the
super
teams
program,
so
yeah
got.
A
A
Great
all
right
great!
Well,
sorry
that
was
a
lot
of
questions
for
me
and
and
I'm
super
grateful
to
you.
I'll
say:
I
I,
don't
I,
won't
ask
you
any
questions
about
it,
but
when
I
was
at
the
Housing,
Authority
was
involved
in
trying
to
spread
the
word
about
the
youth
pass
with
the
MBTA
and
think
that's
a
great
great
initiatives.
I
just
want
to
appreciate
the
office
for
working
on
spreading
the
word
about
that
as
well
and
and
I'll
just
raise
because
she
had
to
jump
off.
A
Councilor
Breeden
just
wanted
to
raise
that
an
issue
she's
heard
raised
by
some
people
is
just
making
sure
that
whatever
there
is
for
our
young
people
to
do
this
summer,
that's
in
person
that
there's
you
know
PPE
available
to
make
sure
they've
got.
You
know,
masks
in
appropriate,
appropriate
other
other
equipment.
So
I'm
sure
you
guys
are
thinking
about
that.
A
But
great
all
right,
well,
I
think
I
think
that
now
nothing
remains,
except
for
me
to
for
me
to
thank
you
for
sitting
it
out
so
long
and
and
really
more
importantly,
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
to
say,
I.
Certainly
am
looking
forward
to
partnering
with
you
on
this
and
and
I
know.
Many
of
my
colleagues
are
as
well
so.
