incredible

for
this
really
groundbreaking
initiative.
It's
wonderful!
It's
great
to
see.
Mayor,
janie
and
counselor
bach
had
really
begun
the
process
of
not
only
making
sure
that
this
is
a
reality,
but
this
has
done
exceptionally
well.
Its
purpose,
I
believe,
of
this
hearing
today,
so
count
me
as
among
the
many
voices
that
are
wholly
enthusiastic
about
this,
congratulate
my
colleague
on
the
job
well
done
and
look
forward
to
continued
work
in
the
months
and
years
ahead.
E
Thank
you
so
much
president
o'malley
and
yeah.
Thank
you
to
everybody
for
being
here.
I'm
very
excited
about
this.
E
When
the
administration
under
mayor
janie
introduced
its
budget
back
in
april
of
this
year,
there
was
a
million
dollars
in
it
for
a
green
jobs
initiative
and
then
through
conversation
with
a
council
in
june
and
the
supplemental
appropriation
that
we
passed
that
increased
by
another
three
million
dollars,
and
I'm
excited
that
that's
kind
of
put
us
in
the
position
of
starting
to
think
really
about
what
this
looks
like,
because
there
is
money
on
the
table,
and
I
know
that
that
green
jobs
conservation
corps
are
kind
of
a
green
new
deal
for
the
city
is
a
a
big
goal
of
the
incoming
mayor.
E
I'm
so
excited
that
so
much
work
that
we're
going
to
hear
about
today
is
is
already
underway
from
the
department's
laying
the
groundwork
there,
and
I
I
will
just
say
I
had
the
pleasure
in
late
september,
of
going
down
to
philadelphia
with
reverend
mariama
waite
hammond,
our
chief
of
environment,
energy
and
open
space,
who
we're
about
to
hear
from
to
really
look
at
and
kick
the
tires
of
the
philadelphia
power
core,
which
is,
I
think,
the
best
kind
of
model
program
in
the
country
on
this
front
and
and
we're
looking
in
this.
E
When
we
talk
about
green
jobs
for
sort
of
a
model
program
in
two
ways.
Right
I
mean
one
is
just
the
enormous
amount
of
additional
work
that
we
need
to
do
in
order
to
meet
the
challenge
of
climate
change
here
in
the
city.
So
whether
we're
talking
about
caring
for
a
very
expanded
urban
forest,
putting
in
green
storm
water
infrastructure,
the
the
challenges
of
how
we
actually
get
the
building
stock
retrofitted,
which
we've
taken
a
big
step
towards
mandating
here
in
boston.
E
All
those
all
that
work
needs
to
be
done
for
boston,
to
meet
his
targets
and
protect
the
city,
but
also
there's
no
way
that
we
are
making
progress
on
our
equity
targets
on
a
really
inclusive
boston
economy,
on
closing
the
enormous
racial
economic
inequality
gap.
Without
this
being
a
huge
part
of
the
solution,
and
so
as
we
think
about
creating
green
jobs,
they
have
to
be
jobs
that
are
accessible
to
our
young
people
here
in
boston,
our
black
and
brown
communities.
E
It's
a
it's
a
once
in
a
lifetime
chance
for
us,
as
we
open
up
these
new
spaces
to
make
sure
that
they're
accessible
to
everybody
and
what
I
was
so
excited
about
in
philadelphia
was
to
see
that
really
happening
to
see
young
people
who
had
grown
up
in
philadelphia
who
felt
ownership
over
this
work,
who
were
learning
the
skills
who
were
not
just
going
through
a
program
that
gave
them
a
couple
of
months
of
training,
but
we're
actually
then
landing
in
sustainable
careers
on
the
public
job
side.
E
There's
a
whole
new
green
stormwater
infrastructure
department,
there,
a
number
of
the
rules
of
which
are
filled
with
power,
core
grads
and
then
on
the
you
know,
and
then
also
in
the
private
universe,
around
around
solar,
around
trees,
et
cetera.
So
it
was
gave
me
a
lot
of
hope
and
encouragement
and
of
course,
I'm
a
boston
booster.
E
So
I
think
we
can
do
it
one
better
here,
but
one
thing
that
really
came
across
from
all
of
that
was
that
the
first
steps
of
putting
together
a
program
like
that
many
of
them
are
internal
and
they
have
to
do
with
our
city
departments,
collaborating
with
each
other
and
making
sure
that
you
know
a
program
that
really
works
is
going
to
have
a
whole
kind
of
wraparound
aspect
to
it,
which
means
a
lot
of
hands
and
that's
great
but
like
those
hands,
need
to
be
coordinated
and
needs
to
be
an
intentional
effort.
E
And
so
I'm
excited
today
that
that
our
departments
have
taken
a
bunch
of
concrete
steps
in
that
direction
and
are
really
hitting
the
ground
running.
I'm
looking
at
how
we
can
do
something
really
serious
in
this
space
here
and
so
pleased
today,
to
convene
this
hearing
really
to
hear
from
them
and
to
update
the
public
and
the
many
groups
and
community
members.
Who've
been
agitating
for
something
like
this
on
kind
of
where
we're
going
from
here.
E
So
there
president
o'malley
already
introduced
the
many
directors
and
chiefs
who
are
with
us,
but
I
will
go
to
them
in
order
for
some
opening
remarks
and
presentations
and
I'll
I'll
defer
to
you,
chief
white
hammond,
sort
of
in
the
order
of
operations.
But
let
me
let
me
first
hand,
hand
the
speaking
platform
over
to
reverend
mariama
whiteham
and
again,
our
chief
of
environment,
energy
and
open
space.
F
Thank
you
so
much
counselor
bach,
it's
been
exciting
to
work
on
this
and
I
think
I
know
there
was
a
city
council
hearing
in
march
and
I
think,
what's
exciting,
is
to
see
how
much
the
team
of
folks
that
are
coming
together
has
expanded
over
these
last
six
months
as
folks
have
engaged.
In
this
conversation,
as
you
mentioned,
we
had
a
great
visit
to
to
philadelphia
and
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
give
sort
of
an
opening
presentation.
F
That
gives
some
context,
and
then
there
are
a
number
of
folks
that
I
think
just
we've
had
the
opportunity
to
just
to
to
name
that
this
this
initiative
really
spans
across
four
different
cabinets.
So
that's
been,
I'm
really
excited
it's
exciting.
I've
had
opportunities
to
talk
with
chief
morkawa
and
chief
barrios
milner
is
on
on
the
call
right
now.
F
So
I
just
it's
just
been
really
exciting
to
see
folks
ready,
oh
and
chief
martinez,
so
really
glad
to
to
have
folks
together
in
this
space.
So
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
give.
E
Can
I
break
in
I'm
so
sorry
I
I'm
neglected
to
see
that
my
colleague,
ed
flynn
had
joined
us
and
I
would
love
to
just
give
him
a
chance
to
say
opening
remarks
before
we
jump
into
the
presentation.
Forgive
me
counselor
flynn.
G
Thank
you,
council
block
and
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity.
I
don't
have
any
opening
statement.
Thank
you
for
calling
on
me.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you,
council
block
for
the
your
leadership
on
this,
as
well
as
the
administration
staff
that
is
present.
They
do
an
exceptional
job
working
on
this
issue
and
so
many
other
issues
in
the
very
professional
and
hard
working.
So
I'm
just
scared
to
listen
and
to
learn
more
about
it.
Thank
you.
Counselor
book.
E
F
No
no
worries
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
pull
up
the
slides
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
overview
and
then
from
there
I'll
actually
chiros
milner.
Would
you
like
to
before
I
dive
in?
Would
you
like
to
just
offer
some
opening
remarks.
H
Yes,
I'm
happy
to
do
that
and
I'll
be
brief,
because
I
really
want
to
jump
into
this
and
getting
to
the
work
of
implementing
this
program,
but
I'm
selena,
baris,
milner,
chief
of
equity
and
inclusion
really
want
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this
councilor
bach
and
chair
o'malley,
for
for
hosting
this
hearing
today,
and
thank
you
councillor
flynn
for
being
here
today
and
for
your
constant
dedication
to
the
city
of
boston's
workers
and
economic
opportunity
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
H
I
also
want
to
thank
reverend
mariama
whitehammond's
leadership
on
this
and
for
bringing
all
of
us
together.
I
think
this
is
exactly
how
how
you
build
inclusive
and
equitable
systems.
Is
that
you
look
at
it
from
every
angle
right,
it's
not
just
one
department
and
not
just
one
program,
and
so
thank
you
for
for
your
vision
and
your
leadership.
H
H
But
it
is
looking
at
economic,
equity
and
inclusion,
and
specifically
supplier
diversity,
so
how
our
city
is
contracting
with
diverse
business
owners
and
we
also
have
a
local
higher
policy
through
the
boston
resident
jobs
policy
which
seeks
to
hire
local
residents,
women
and
people
of
color
on
city
of
boston
construction
sites.
And
what
we've
seen
over
and
over
is
that
when
equity
isn't
built
into
an
industry
from
the
beginning,
it
it
never
just
ends
up
being
equitable,
even
with
all
the
tools
that
we
now
have
at
our
disposal.
H
H
And
we
know
that
that
that
happened
with
a
lot
of
intention
right,
that
certain
groups
were
kept
out
and
certain
groups
were
were
promoted,
and
so
we
want
to
take
this
opportunity
with
this
emerging
industry
that,
where
we're
fighting
this
climate
crisis
locally
and
we're
really
looking
at
what
we
can
do,
that
our
residents
have
opportunity
to
get
in
on
the
ground
floor.
H
And
we
know
a
lot
of
this
work
is
not
new,
but
but
the
direction
we're
going
is
new
and
that
they
they
have
access
to
really
meaningful
employment
opportunities
that
both
give
them
and
their
families
livable
wages,
but
also
help
contribute
to
our
climate
resiliency
as
a
city.
So
I
just
think
this
is
one
of
those
you
know
quadruple
bottom
line
programs
and
and
really
I'm
here
to
wholeheartedly
support.
H
I
want
to
draw
the
parallel
of
the
cannabis
industry,
for
example,
where,
where
you
know,
through
counselor
janie's
leadership,
we
worked
really
hard
to
build
in
equity
at
the
beginning
before
permits
were
before,
licenses
were
being
given
out
before
before
dispensaries
were
being
approved.
We
wanted
there
to
be
a
one-to-one,
so
I
think
this
is
a
similar
parallel.
We
want
to
build
it
in
from
the
ground
up
and
then
the
last
piece
before
I
close
is
just
that.
H
I
know
that
that
we're
focusing
on
young
people
and
in
this
particular
case,
and
that
we
want
to
create
accessible
entry
points,
but
that
we're
really
preparing
people
for
to
to
be
owners
to
be
leaders
to
be
ceos
right
and
not
just
workers
and
and
not
that
there's
anything
wrong
with
that,
but
that
we
are
looking
at
the
full
spectrum
of
opportunity
for
wealth
building
for
them
and
their
families
as
well,
because
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
times.
H
We
focus
on
the
entry
points
and
we
don't
build
out
the
the
growth
pathways,
and
so
thank
you
all
so
much
for
for
being
here
today
and
I'll
close
with
the
with
that
remark.
E
Great,
thank
you
so
much
chief
barris
muller
reverend
what
happened
great.
F
Thank
you
so
much
chief
bryce
miller,
and
I
I
think
your
point
is
well
taken.
We
have
to
be
looking
all
throughout
there's.
There
is
a
lot
of
talk
about
what
could
be
possible,
but
I
think,
as
you've
raised,
it
won't
happen
unless
we
make
sure
that
there
are
the
intentional
interventions.
To
assure
that
it
does
happen.
F
The
green
economy
is
growing
and
it
could
include
our
young
people,
but
it
will
not
include
them
unless
we
make
sure
that
it
does
so
we're
really
grateful
to
be
working
with
you
and
you
know,
as
we
pull
up
the
slides.
I
want
to
know
that
we're
talking
about
a
specific
intervention,
but
this
is
not
the
only
piece
of
work
we
have
to
do
around
green
jobs.
F
This
is
one
piece
of
the
work,
but
we
know
that
there
is
a
much
broader
spectrum
of
work
to
be
done,
conversations
to
be
had
folks
to
be
included
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
your
office,
the
city
council
and
the
entire
of
city
government
lwd,
all
of
us
together
to
figure
out
how
we
make
sure
equity
flows
all
throughout
the
system.
So
I'll
go
ahead
and
return
to
the
slides,
and
this
is
just
to
give
an
overview,
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page.
F
Some
of
you
might
be
hearing
this
for
the
fourth
time,
so
I
I
will
try
to
be
clear,
but
also
concise,
so
we,
as
as
council
box
said
when
I
first
came
on
this-
was
a
conversation
that
I
had
with
mayor
jamie
in
april.
This
is
work
that
I
had
been
doing
before
coming.
I
was
a
part
of
the
green
jobs
work
at
the
state
level
and
regional
and
and
national,
so
very
excited
to
be
looking
at
how
boston
can
be
engaged
next
slide.
F
Oh
next,
okay,
there
we
go
so
just
to
give
folks
over
an
overview
that
the
mayor
put
in
one
million
dollars
for
green
jobs,
and
that
was,
you
know,
supposed
to
be
a
catalyst
amount
to
sort
of
help
us
figure
out.
What
is
it
that
we
want
to
do
and
what
I
committed
to
the
mayors?
F
I
will
come
back
to
you
in
six
months
with
a
more
robust
plan,
but
that
one
million
dollars
was
to
get
us
started
to
figure
out
how
we
were
going
to
move
forward
and
to
bring
some
concrete
benefits.
So
we
pulled
together
a
community
advisory
board
that
met
over
the
summer.
We'll
talk
about
their
feedback.
We
also
did
a
green
jobs,
rfi
just
to
say,
if
you're
out
there-
and
you
know
something
about
this-
and
you
want
to
share
it
with
us-
please
send
us
and
then
a
number
of
people
responded.
F
We
then
did
an
rfp
for
catalyst
grants
for
green
and
mobility
jobs.
We've
been
working
also
with
the
btd,
which
also
had
some
some
resources,
and
so
we
combined
our
forces
to
put
out
1.5
million
dollars
in
financial
support
to
expand
training
programs
that
already
exist
and
connect
unemployed
and
underemployed
residents
to
green
job
opportunities
so
that
rfp
closed
on
october
18th.
F
We
are
in
the
process
of
reviewing
those
proposals
right
now,
but
while
we
were
in
the
conversation,
we
also
received
an
additional
three
million
dollars
in
arbor
funds
for
green
jobs
and
that
I
know
keller
bach
played
a
a
key
role
in
that
and
so
thankful
to
the
city
councilor,
who
have
been
paying
attention
to
this,
and
I
think
more,
even
more
as
possible,
so
and
the
next
slide
will
be
showing
just
who
we
engaged
in
that
community
advisory
board.
F
As
you
can
see
the
list
of
folks,
it
was
pretty
broad,
ranging
from
folks
in
the
bps
system
to
our
community
college
system,
folks
that
work
for
companies
at
higher,
focusing
jobs.
We
tried
to
bring
to
get
labor,
try
to
bring
together
a
good
cross-section
of
folks,
and
this
gives
us
some
highlights
of
the
feedback
we
received.
Folks,
we're
talking
about
on-the-job,
training
or
earn
to
learn.
F
Again
that
conversation
about
career
paths
and
ones
with
the
most
environmental
impact
and
most
job
openings?
There
was
a
piece
that
came
out
recently
a
report
that
came
out.
That
said,
the
state
has
set
goals
for
for
a
lot
of
its
environmental
impacts
in
terms
of
reducing
emissions,
and
you
know
adaptation
and
that
we
don't
currently
have
sufficient
workers
to
meet
those
goals.
So
really
looking.
Where
is
there
already
going
to
be
money
invested?
F
How
do
we
make
sure
that
our
young
people
are
the
forefront,
ready
to
take
those
jobs
and
that
we're
growing
the
workforce
to
do
the
work
we
say
we
want
to
do?
F
Again
where
we
said
with
that
wage
progression.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
getting
people
in
the
jobs
that
they're
not
stuck
at
the
bottom
forever,
but
there's
real
opportunities
for
them
to
keep
moving
up
and
then
expose
meeting
participants
to
different
career
options
and
how
to
access
this,
and
this
was
particularly
a
lot
for
not
just
young
people.
F
But
folks
across
the
board,
so
I
think
you
know,
as
we
really
have
these
conversations
within
the
cab,
it
became
clear
that
we
have
some
great
programs
in
boston
already
and
we
have
some
real
challenges
around
meeting
scale,
that
many
of
our
programs
are
able
to
train
a
couple
of
young
people
here
and
a
couple
of
young
people
there.
But
this
idea
of
they
kept
raising
again.
How
do
we
outreach
to
young
people?
How
do
we
make
sure
they're
job
ready
and
we
start
to
say
like?
F
That
could
then
also
funnel
young
people
to
a
lot
of
the
different,
smaller
programs
that
we
have,
that
are
more
specific
but
where
they
would
come
in,
get
some
supports
and
and
look
at
a
menu
of
options
rather
than
each
being
recruited
by
this
group
over
here
and
that
group
over
there
and
all
of
them
trying
to
have
the
kind
of
outreach
capacity
they
need.
F
Would
it
be
better
to
have
a
more
centralized
model,
and
so
council
bach
has
been
quite
a
cheerleader
for
the
philly
core
power
philly
power
corps
model
from
the
very
first
day
I
was
here,
she's
like
you
need
to
see
it
and
as
many
of
the
people
on
this
call
know,
I
was
a
youth
worker
for
14
years
ran
a
youth
organization
worked
with
young
people,
hired
them
supervised
them
sometimes
also
fired
them
and
worked
with
many
of
the
folks
on
this
call
like
some
of
the
folks
in
this
group
I
have
known
since
we
were
in
our
20s
working
with
young
people
really
trying
to
figure
out.
F
How
do
we
make
sure
they
get
what
they
need?
I
am
sorry
to
say
we
have
been
to
too
many
funerals
have.
I
have
visited
too
many
different
prison
systems
and
been
to
dys
far
too
many
times
and
as
I
I
have
been
called
more
into
this
work
around
ecological
justice.
I
just
want
to
say
it's:
it's,
it's
so
exciting
to
in
some
ways
reunite
with
folks
that
I've
worked
with
for
years
and
work
with
new
younger
folks
who
are
in
the
work
to
really
figure
out.
F
Can
we
take
the
opportunity
that
is
this
green,
a
revolution
and
make
sure
that
our
folks
at
the
front
of
that
and
that
in
the
work
they
do,
they
can
bring
home
a
good,
strong
paycheck.
They
can
start
their
own
businesses.
They
can
be
at
the
forefront
of
addressing
the
environmental
injustices,
most
of
which
most
deeply
impact
our
environmental
justice
neighborhoods.
F
So
we're
really
excited
to
be
looking
at
this
model
and
and
figuring
out
how
we
take
the
feedback
that
we
got
from
the
community
advisory
board
and
figure
out
how
we
can
do
this
work
at
scale.
So
we
and
next
slide.
We
went
to
look
at
the
philly
power
core
model
and
I'll
just
be
honest.
I
went
there
with
you
know
like
a
little
healthy
skepticism,
because
I've
seen
a
lot
of
people
have
really
great
websites.
F
But
then,
when
you
go
to
see
the
work,
it's
not
always
it's
not
always
what
the
website
says,
but
I
will
say
that
the
very
first
person
we
met
with
was
aaron
kirkland.
Who
is
a
supervisor
at
the
philadelphia
water
department?
He
started
in
the
program
himself
seven
years
ago
got
the
training
before
he.
He
you
know,
joined
philly
power
corps.
F
He
didn't
really
know
much
about
the
water
department,
how
it
worked,
how
you
got
access
jobs
in
it,
but
he
knew
that
he
wanted
a
career
that
would
allow
him
to
raise
a
family.
He
was
a
returning
citizen
and
was
clear
that
he
did
not
want
to
find
himself
back
incarcerated
and
and
to
meet
with
him,
and
he,
you
know,
he's
a
really
humble
guy,
but
he
walked
me
through
the
maps
and
how
he
sends
out
teams
and
how
he
shows
them.
F
F
Neighborhoods
making
the
decision
he
is
the
hiring
manager
now
for
the
green
stormwater
infrastructure
team,
which
means
he's
able
to
lift
other
folks
behind
him,
bring
them
in
teach
them
and
relate
to
some
of
the
challenges
that
they're
trying
to
deal
with
to
make
sure
that
those
issues
and
concerns
don't
stand
in
the
way
of
the
real
opportunities
that
they're
accessing
through
this
program.
So
the
program
as
it
says,
takes
place
as
a
phases.
F
There's
a
recruitment
process
that
we've
already
sort
of
started
talking
about
in
their
early
days
and
what
they've
suggested
to
us
is
at
the
beginning.
You
should
have
referrals
sit
down
with
a
set
of
trusted
partners.
People
who
work
with
young
people,
people
that
work
with
the
constituency
of
young
people
that
we're
looking
at
and
that
constituency
is
young
people
18
to
30.
F
F
Wanna
know
a
couple
things
that
are
really
important
about
that
again.
This
earn
to
learn
model
is
key
young
people.
The
moment
they
come
in
are
paid.
They
are
working
and
in
foundations
they
are
getting
job
readiness
training,
they
are
doing
things
like
learning
how
to
send
emails,
even
setting
up
an
email
account.
F
Some
of
them
did
not
have
learning
how
to
do
an
interview,
all
those
kinds
of
things,
but
they
are
on
a
crew
from
the
very
beginning
in
rotations,
trying
out
and
learning
about
the
kinds
of
jobs
that
they
will
then
engage
in
down
the
line.
I
think
that's
really
key.
F
We
were
able
to
see
young
people
out
in
the
field
working
in
parks
working
in
sites
for
the
water
department,
so
that
by
the
time
they
go
into
the
next
phase,
they
already
have
some
semblance
of
understanding
about
what
the
work
is
that
they
might
be
asked
to
do,
and
one
of
the
plus
sides
to
this
is
even
in
that
foundations
training.
They
are
servicing
sites
identified
by
the
city
of
philadelphia,
and
so
basically
they
go
to
the
water
department.
F
They
go
to
the
parks
department
and
they
say
what
are
your
deferred
maintenance
sites
places
that
you
should,
in
theory
be
taken
care
of,
but
the
reality
is
you
don't
have
enough
workers
to
handle
it?
Give
us
those
sites,
we'll
start
working
them,
we'll
take
care
of
them.
So
the
city
receives
the
benefit
of
having
folks
servicing
sites
that
usually
wouldn't
get
done,
and
those
young
people
are
already
learning
how
to
do
the
job
that
they're
going
to
apply
for
down
the
line.
F
So
there
is
a
mix
of
of
all
those
job
readiness
skills,
but
it's
not
a
bunch
of
folks
in
the
classroom,
they're
out
in
doing
the
work
and
learning
the
skills
as
part
of
that
work,
and
so
after
that
four
months
of
foundations,
training
they
move
on
to
choose
either
a
fellowship
or
post-secondary
education
where
they
might
decide.
I
want
to
do
this
field
and
that
field
doesn't
have
what
they
call
an
industry
academy
which
I'll
describe
next
or
they
can
go
to
an
organization.
F
For
instance,
a
couple
people
might
go
to
an
urban
farm.
They
don't
have
a
capacity
for
a
ten
person
team,
but
they
do
could
take
one
or
two
people
or
phase
two,
what
they
call
industry
academies.
Those
industry
academies
are
places
where
young
people
are
learning
and
being
ready
to
go
into
a
department
that
has
open
jobs,
so
they
they
scale
the
amount
of
young
people
they
take
into
the
industry
academy,
based
on
their
awareness
about
what
jobs
are
out
there.
The
agreement
is
to
young
people.
F
If
you
come
in,
and
you
do
the
four
months
and
you're
six
months
or
more
or
less,
if
you
from
beginning
to
end,
you
do
this
year
at
the
other
side
of
this,
we
will
make
sure
that
you
have
a
job,
not
just
a
certificate.
That
says
you
did
it,
but
we
will
make
sure
that
you
are
tracked
into
an
actual
job
with
a
real
employer,
and
so
there
that's
how
folks
go
and
then
it
is
true
all
along
the
way.
F
Folks,
look
at
post-secondary
education
and
I'm
really
excited
to
that
trend
will
be
talking
a
little
bit
more
about
that
and
what
opportunities
we
have
that
in
some
ways
actually
exceed
some
of
what
philly
is
even
even
able
to
offer.
So
next
slide.
F
So
this
just
you
know,
sort
of
walks
you,
through
a
little
bit
more
of
the
compensation
we
will
be
compensating
at
a
much
higher
level.
They
were
doing
ten
dollars
an
hour.
They
actually
now
at
11
an
hour
we're
looking
at
starting
from
the
very
beginning
at
14
or
15
an
hour.
F
We
need
to
make
sure
we're
paying
people
what
it
takes
to
live
in
in
boston,
but
we
are
looking
at
americorps
as
a
part
of
that
and
then
raising
additional
dollars,
but
this
gives
you
some
some
sense
of
that
and
we'll
keep
going
next
slide.
F
So
this
just
you
know,
sort
of
walks
it
through
in
a
different
way.
You
can
see
here
that
this
is
the
three
academies
they
had
previously
that
it's
actually
been
updated
since
then,
but
they
have
green
infrastructure,
and
that
was
that
was
with
the
water
department,
electrical
and
solar
and
then
urban
forestry.
They
have
since
also
added
masonry
and
park
rangers
and
a
youth
work
track.
F
So
there's
a
lot
of
possibilities
here
that
we
can
expand
over
time
as
we
we
move
and
young
some
young
people
become
a
chris
assistant,
crew
leaders
after
they
finish
the
industry
academy
for
some
things
that
take
a
little
bit
more
or
if
they
want
to
be
able
to
apply
into
a
higher
job
than
entry
level.
F
Sometimes
doing
another
rotation
gives
them
the
management
skills
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
again,
as
people
were
saying,
not
just
get
that
entry-level
job,
but
have
the
training
and
support
they
need
to
be
very
quickly
be
able
to
move
up
into
a
managerial
position
so
there
I
do
want
to
know
and
there's
one
other
thing.
That's
that's
not
on
here
that
I
think
I'll
know
and
I'm
gonna.
F
Dr
dr
fox,
will
talk
about
this
a
little
bit
more
philly
powercore
has
a
specific
commitment
to
working
with
young
people
who
have
been
caught
up
in
the
court
system
and
so
there's
a
a
program
that
they
do.
That
honestly
is
very
similar
to
what
has
already
been
built
here
in
boston,
and
so
we
don't
need
to
replicate.
F
They
are
centering
those
young
people
that
have
a
lot
of
skills
and
potential,
but
far
too
often
find
themselves
caught
up
in
our
court
system
and
languishing
wasting
the
time
and
and
skills
that
they
have
incarcerated.
So
we'll
we'll
share
a
little
bit
more
about
how
that
will
work
here
in
boston,
but
wanted
to
to
note
that
next
time.
F
So
when
I
saw
what
I
saw-
and
I
thought
it
was
pretty
amazing
and
like
I
said
I
got
to
meet
with
young
people-
I
mean
I
would
ask
questions,
and
it
wasn't
just
one
superstar
young
person
that
would
answer.
They
would
all
go
through
an
answer
each
on
their
own,
and
I
do
hope
that
at
some
point
we'll
be
able
to
bring
some
of
those
young
people
up
here,
because
they
were
definitely
like
I'll
come
to
boston,
to
talk
about
it
and
they
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
follow
through.
F
It
was
pretty
amazing,
seeing
them,
and
so
I
I
called
up
folks
in
each
department,
everyone
you
see
on
here.
I
called
and
said
hey.
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
something
and
I
want
to
you
know
what
do
you
think
and
once
it
was
clear
that
we
had
a
strong
appetite
across
all
of
our
different
departments
that
we
saw
an
opportunity?
F
Owd
has
already
been
doing
some
work
on
this.
There
was
stuff
we
could
already
pull
in.
It
just
seemed
like
it
was
possible.
So
we
sat
down
with
the
mayor
and
she
said:
hey
I'll,
give
you
the
green
light.
You
said
you'd
come
back
in
six
months.
It's
been
six
months
this.
This
sounds
like
everything
that
you
have
said,
and
so
we
went
ahead
and
did
a
press
conference.
This
is
at
youth
opportunities
unlimited.
It
is
the
intention
at
this
point
for
that
to
be
this
fiscal
sponsor
home
for
this
program.
F
You
is
already
doing
this
work
already
working
with
this
constituency
of
young
people,
so
it
seems
like
the
natural
fit
and
they
already
are
doing,
building
pathways.
So
there's
just
so
much
powerful
alignment
and
I'll.
F
I
won't
say
too
much
more
because
I
know
tren
is
here
turn
one
is
here
to
talk
about
that
so
I'll
leave
that
for
her,
but
we
we
highlighted
again
that
we're
supporting
boston
communities
have
been
particularly
hard
hit
by
the
pandemic,
but
we
all
know
that
the
communities
hit
by
the
pandemic
were
the
ones
that
were
already
struggling
before
the
pandemic,
but
the
arpa
funds
do
give
us
an
opportunity
to
help
people
recover
stronger
when
we
focused
on
the
earned
to
learn
connecting
graduates
to
full-time
positions
that
have
real
growth
opportunities
and
and
and
tren
will
talk
about
this
more
this
connection,
including
tuition
free
community
college,
which
is
a
huge
opportunity
to
build
with
something
that
already
exists
and
just
link
it
in
and
give
young
people
again
multiple
pathways
to
move
forward.
F
So
I
just
want
to
move
on
the
next
slide.
It
just
shows
you
that
this
this
is
the
crew
of
folks
that
have
been
meeting
and
chief
marios
milner
should
be
on
there.
So
that
is
my
excuse
me
for
me
for
that
omission
and
we'll
make
sure
that
that
is
fixed
on
the
slide.
We
have
been
moving
forward
having
conversations
figuring
out
how
we
start
to
make
this
real
and
next
slide
I'll.
F
Just
talk
through
what
our
goal,
our
ongoing
tasks
are,
as
we've
been
setting
so
october
through
december.
Really
developing
this
model
develop
the
core
team
of
representatives
from
city
of
boston,
partner
departments
and
set
regular
meeting
schedule
done.
Lindsay
has
been
corralling
us
to
make
sure
that
we
know
when
our
next
meeting
is
lindsay.
F
Santana,
who
oversees
engagement
here
in
the
environment
department,
has
been
working
with
all
these
busy
schedules
to
get
us
moving,
establish
a
budget
and
contract
with
you
to
fiscally
sponsor
and
host
the
boxing
replication
of
power
core
really
quickly.
I
was
gonna
present
budget,
but
we'll
we'll
get
that
to
folks
later.
We
are
now
functioning
from
the
notion
that,
all
in
all
over
the
next
three
years,
this
will
take
about
10
million
dollars
to
do
we're.
F
Looking
at
about
1.5
the
first
year
then
scaling
up
to
about
three
and
then
a
five
million
in
in
year
three
by
year.
Three,
the
goal
is
to
be
as
large
as
the
philly
power
core,
which
works
with
about
a
hundred
young
people
a
year.
F
We
may
be
able
to
do
a
little
bit
more
because
they
have
to
to
build
a
lot
of
programs
themselves,
but
there
are
some
numbers
of
things
that
are
already
here
that
we
might
be
able
to
refer
young
people
to
so
we're
we're
looking
about
at
whether
or
not
100
is
the
right
number
or
if
we
could
do
more,
but
but
that's
what
what
we're?
That's?
F
What
we're
looking
at
right
now,
we
have
started
to
negotiate
and
execute
a
consulting
contract
with
philly,
powercore
and
and
working
out,
the
scope
and
and
the
goal
is
for
them
to
come
in
january
to
to
actually
do
some
sort
of
retreat
planning
with
us
where
they
sort
of
really
help
us
walk
through
it
and
we're
gonna.
Look
at
like
doing
that
in
person,
so
we're
trying
to
figure
that
out.
We
need
to
recruit
an
executive
director
to
run
the
program.
We
have
a
job
description
for
that.
F
So,
if
you
know
someone
that
you
would
think
would
be
amazing,
we
think
this.
This
role
is
really
really
really
important.
We
need
somebody
as
much
as
there's
a
lot
of
excitement
on
this
call.
F
We
need
someone
who
lives
and
breathes
this
all
day
and
is
not
trying
to
do
a
bunch
of
other
things,
establish
criteria
for
industry,
academies
and
narrow
the
potential
academies
and
begin
to
explore,
which
part
of
the
model
can
be
run
by
subcontracting
agencies
within
the
city
or
the
wider
community
right
now,
philly
does
a
lot
it's
on
its
own
in
one
model,
but
we
we
think
that
there's
some
of
the
pieces
of
the
model
that
already
exist,
so
we
don't
need
to
re,
rebuild
them
last
slide,
I'm
sorry!
No!
F
This
is
really
long
so
january
through
march,
will
staff
up
recruit
young
people?
You
can
look
at
the
the
the
pieces
there
and
then
april
through
june,
we'll
launch
the
program
get
started.
Our
goal
is
to
start
with
30
30,
young
people
and
so
I'll
pause
there,
because
I
know
I
was
talking
really
long,
but
I
hope
that
this
gives
people
more
details
and
folks
can
review
this
on
their
own
later.
F
With
that,
I
will.
The
plan
is
to
hand
it
over
to
trenwyn
from
owd,
who
has
a
lot
more
to
fill
in.
I
Graham,
thank
you.
Thank
you
reverend.
I
just
want
to
quickly
thank
all
the
counselors,
particularly
counselor
bach,
for
her
leadership.
Thank
you,
reverend
hammond
and
also
white
hammond
and
then
also
chief
barrels.
I
At
the
same
time,
I
I
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
do
have
a
lot
of
current
systems
in
place
in
the
the
ecosystem,
so
we
can
take
some
pieces
from
community
colleges,
other
training
programs
that
already
exist
and
align
these
systems,
so
we
don't
really
need
to
always
reinvent
the
wheel,
and
so,
given
that
I'm
going
to
focus
my
presentation
on
areas
in
which
we
can
provide
support
and
not
reinvent
the
wheel.
I
So
with
that,
I
like
to
ask
someone
to
pull
up
my
slides
quickly,
they're,
not
as
pretty
as
reverend
white
hammond,
but
I
hope
that
they
are
substance
enough
to
show
the
kind
of
work
that
could
be
done.
Do
we
have
the
slides
I
sent
them
over
to
to
last
yesterday.
E
Yeah
we
should
be
able
to
get
one
second
carrie
or
shane.
Do
one
of
you
have
the
owd
slide,
so
you
could
throw
up.
I
Yeah
there's
only
a
few
slides
that
takes
about
five
minutes
to
go
through.
E
I
I
And
while
we're
waiting
for
the
slides,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
our
office
and
and
my
role
is
really
to
be
the
operational
person
in
the
background.
So
we
hope
that
we
can
provide
the
execution
piece
with,
along
with
our
partners
at
soar
and
a
variety
of
entities.
So
that's
one.
The
the
second
piece
is
that
the
host
and
fiscal
agent
we
would
be.
I
It
would
be
a
pleasure
to
provide
support
that
to
support
the
youth
power
corps
in
that
role,
so
we
would
be
providing
fiscal
management
administration
and
also
space
at
seven
palmer,
which
is
right
in
nubian
square.
So
it's
and
it's
right
across
the
street
from
the
boston
public
school
headquarters,.
I
I
wanted
to
just
go
over
a
little
bit
about
youth
options
unlimited
and
where
we
can
provide
support
without
reinventing
the
wheel,
and
so
reverend
white
hammond
spoke
about
the
philly
model
in
her
slide
it.
This
is
particularly
we
we
can
provide
support
around
the
pre-process
and
the
recruitment,
as
well
as
the
foundation,
training
and
phase
two
of
post-secondary
education.
I
We
also
could
provide
in
the
area
of
exit
which
is
to
pro
to
provide
employer
engagement
into
career
pathways
and
jobs,
and
so
those
are
the
areas
that
we
can
provide
support
and
specifically
with
youth
options
unlimited
just
going
over
where
there
is
an
overlap
and
how
we
can
appropriately
tailor
some
of
this
framework
into
the
power
core
and
so
with
youth
options.
I
Unlimited
also
known
as
you,
a
lot
of
the
information
is
on
the
website,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
them
to
respect
your
time,
but
I
do
want
to
go
over
quickly
the
areas
in
which
we
can
provide
support
without
reinventing
the
wheel.
Again,
these
components
can
be
immersed
in
the
in
the
various
phases
and
components
of
the
power
core
in
boston
that
reverend
white
hammond
had
had
in
her
slide.
So
there's
four
major
areas
in
which
you
can
share
its
best
practices
and
work.
I
One
is
around
the
subsidized
employment
job
readiness
workshops,
year-round
curriculum
facilitated.
These
are
evidence-based
curriculum
from
the
state
and
also
from
our
own
work,
with
the
randomized
control
studies
that
we've
done
with
northeastern.
We
know
they
work.
The
second
area
of
support
is
the
intensive
case
management
management.
I
Again,
you
is
very
focused
on
serving
quote
unquote
at-risk
youth
so
coming
out
of
the
criminal
justice
system,
so
we're
not
working
with
hundreds
of
partners
or
doing
hundreds
of
things,
but
just
focusing
on
strategies
that
produce
the
outcome
that
is
needed,
so
very
laser
focused
in
those
areas.
I
The
the
so
intensive
case
management
is
really
key
to
providing
success
and
support
for
young
people,
especially
when
they're
coming
out
of
kobit.
The
third
is
private
sector
job
placement.
We
have
strong
employer
relationships
and
career
developments
with
our
case
managers
and
the
last
is
educational
support
and
placements
for
young
people.
I
Why
are
you
just
direct
referrals
with
the
suffolk
county,
d.a,
so
boston,
juvenile,
adult
probation
and
public
defender's
office,
so
again
very
targeted
in
our
work?
For
you
in
the
next
two
slides
next
slide?
Please
you'll
see
just
kind
of
like
our
annual
goals.
What
we
hold
ourselves
accountable
and
the
four
goals
reflect
the
work
that
has
been
described
in
the
previous
slide.
So
every
quarter
we
come
up
with
go
every
year.
We
come
up
with
annual
goals
and
every
quarter
case
managers
and
you
staff
have
to
report
how
they're
doing
on
those
goals.
I
So
the
key
word
here
is
quality,
not
necessarily
quantity,
mainly
because
the
kind
of
youth
and
work
that's
needed
for
young
people
is
extremely
key,
and
so
what
you
see
here
are
quarterly
example,
numbers
and
also
annual
numbers
that
we
we
serve
and
again
it's
not
in
the
massive
in
the
hundreds,
but
in
terms
of
direct
goals.
The
numbers
are
smaller
and
more
focused
and
then
for
our
tfcc
slide
next
slide.
I
Please,
chief
white
hammond
talked
about
another
area
in
which
we
are
supporting,
and
so
that's
on
the
post-secondary,
education
or
stackable
credits
or
what
we
call
matriculation
agreements,
and
so
we
found
that
we
don't
necessarily
have
to
reinvent
the
wheel
on
this
piece
and
that,
for
instance,
a
lot
of
our
work
in
terms
of
industry
academy.
It
could
fit
in
to
the
power
cores
model,
and
so
we
know
that
bunker
hill,
a
community
college,
for
example,
is
launching
their
clean
water
certification.
I
Now
we
would
have
to
see
what
the
intricacies
of
those
competencies
are
to
tailor
some
of
of
this,
the
industry
training,
but
that's
an
area
that
we
can
definitely
help
on.
What's
key
about
pulling
in
the
community
colleges
is
that
they
already
have
stackable
credit.
So,
let's
say
if
the
young
person
is
doing
in
the
power
core
is
doing
industry
academy,
training,
they're
already
receiving
credits
towards
an
existing
associate
degree,
and
we
would
pay
for
it,
and
so
this,
the
next
two
slides
just
give
you
gives
you
an
example
of
our
tuition-free
community
colleges.
I
Right
now,
we
have
six
partners
in
our
tfcc
program,
their
bunker
hill,
community
college,
roxbury,
community
college,
benjamin
franklin
institute,
massasoit,
community
college,
mass
bay,
community
college
and
also
urban
college
is
another
college
that
we
isn't
it's
a
non-traditional
pathway
to
post-secondary
education
for
an
associate
degree
that
we
include
in
our
tfcc
program.
Now
all
students
who
participate
in
our
tfcc
program.
I
We
pay
for
mandatory
and
tuition
for
up
to
three
years
of
full
time
and
then
also
pay
for
labs
and
also
provide
them
with
stipends
so
that
they
can
pay
for
t
passes
and
a
variety
of
support
services.
They
need
to
help
complete.
We
also
team
them
up
with
a
coach
from
success,
boston
to
ensure
that
they
enroll
and
complete
at
the
same
time
and
then
also
recently,
due
to
covet.
We
provide
chromebooks
and
other
wi-fi
access
so
that
they
can
complete
their
semester
and
degrees
online
and
so
we're.
I
We
have
research
on
some
ways
in
which
we
can
tailor
the
program
that
makes
it
successful
for
young
people,
especially
in
the
power
core
so
and
we're.
We
love
to
continue
the
partnership
and
then
align
our
systems
and
work
within
the
power
core
structure,
and
so
in
closing,
I
just
want
to
say
that
we're
very
excited
for
this
work
can't
wait
to
start.
It's
been
long
in
the
making
so
ready
to
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
and
get
some
action
started
happy
to
answer
questions
offline
and
now,
if
my
time
allows
thank
you.
E
Great,
thank
you
so
much
tren
and
I
think
mariam
are
we
gonna
go
next
to
rufus.
Is
that
the
plan?
I
I
think,
probably
what
makes
sense
is
to
have
everyone
do
the
presentations
and
then
we'll
jump
into
any
questions.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
counselor
braden
has
been
here
since
the
start
of
the
presentation
so
but
we'll
wait
to
questions
so.
I
D
Good
afternoon
councillors
just
good
to
see
you
guys
also
good,
to
see
my
colleagues
also
on
the
zoom.
I'm
just
gonna
provide
a
little
bit
of
context
and
little
content
to
sort
of
sort
of
support.
Some
of
the
the
narrative
has
been
out
there
that
we
already
have
some
of
these
pieces
already
in
place.
D
And
today
we've
had
six
cohorts
that
have
gone
through
the
process.
The
operation
exit
program
is
a
three
a
three
week:
training
model
where
it
is
a
pre-apprenticeship
program
for
individuals
where
they
get
to
learn
some
of
the
different
disciplines
within
the
building
trades.
D
We
work
closely
with
you
and
and
building
pathways
to
be
able
to
provide
the
training
and
then
also,
most
importantly,
with
the
union
hall
to
be
able
to
provide
the
placements
after
the
trainings
conclude
today,
we've
had
105
graduates
who
have
gone
through
the
program
we
think
about.
Some
of
the
demographics
average
age
is
about
25.
D
90
about
90
of
our
graduates
would
be
considered
black
and
brown
individuals
who
are
from
roxbury
dorchester
mattapan
individuals
who
are
who
come
from
these
same
neighborhoods
that
have
been
also
dealing
with
the
pandemic
at
a
disproportionate
race,
but
also
dealing
with
issues
around
environmental
justice
as
well.
So
talk
about
higher
asthma,
race
and
things
like
that.
So
the
population
that
we're
already
serving
all
the
populations
or
the
participants
who
who
are
from
the
communities
in
which
we're
trying
to
serve
with
this
new
initiative.
D
I
think
what
one
of
our
main
issues
has
always
been
that
if
we
had
more
options
in
terms
of
placements,
we
can
have
more
kids
it.
It's
we
we're
trying
to
do
what
we've
been
trying
to
do
our
seventh
cohort
for
about
two
years
now
an
issue
has
been
placement
due
in
large
part
to
to
covet,
but
also
in
large
part
that
our
young
people
aren't
a
top
priority
for
placement
and
oftentimes.
That's
the
case,
because
the
city
of
boston,
we're
not
controlling
the
placement.
D
If
we
can
control
the
placement,
I
think
that
gives
us
more.
It
will
give
us
more
leverage
and
more
latitude
to
say
we
are
building
a
protocol
where
the
this
amount
of
young
people
have
to
be
put
in
this
apprenticeship
program.
We
can
control
the
training.
We
have
more
more
ability
to
hire
more
young
people
right
now.
D
We
have
58
young
people
looking
to
begin
our
seventh
cohort
for
operation
exit
within
the
building
trade,
which
is
why
we
tried
to
expand
the
culinary
cannabis
and
some
other
industries,
but
recognizing
that
if
we
can
help
young
people
get
some
of
these
skills
around
this
green
economy
and
also
some
other
positions
within
departments
in
the
city
of
boston,
they'll
be
able
to
have
real
careers
where
they
will
be
able
to
not
only
change
their
fortunes
but
to
be
able
to
change
their
family's
fortunes.
D
One
of
the
demographics
that
I
did
mention
was
that
40
of
our
participants
had
children
40
of
the
young
people,
young
adults
that
we've
had
in
our
program
have
had
children.
So
these
are
individuals
now
who
are
able
to
buy
homes.
Individuals
who
have
cars,
individuals
who
are
now
four
men
that
are
literally
not
only
changing
their
trajectory,
but
have
also
impacted
the
groups
that
they
were
part
of
as
well.
Young
men
who
are
part
of
neighborhood
groups
who
are
now
role
models
who
are
now
not
only.
D
They
were
always
leaders,
but
now
they're,
leading
in
a
more
positive
and
productive
way,
which
is
sort
of
changing
some
of
the
narrative
aside
from
operation
exit
within
the
building
trades.
We
have
a
program
called
operation
renew,
I
know
council
flynn
was
in,
but
we
just
had
a
graduation
operation.
Renew
is
a
similar
program,
but
we
focus
on
individuals
who
are
returning
from
federal
prison,
and
this
program
is,
we've
only
had
five
cohorts
and
we
have
a
total
about
22
graduates.
D
But
these
these
individuals
are
individuals
who
sometimes
have
done
15
years
in
federal
prison,
but
are
coming
home
with
a
level
of
of
tenacity
and
a
level
of
ingenuity
that,
if
just
given
some
additional
opportunity
to
to
beef
up
their
skills
that
they
can
be
able
to
do
any
and
everything
that
they
choose
to
so
which
we
were
trying
with
operation.
We've
been
intentional
about
trying
to
provide
and
help
to
build
up
their
their
skill
set
around
some
of
the
building,
trades
and
sort
of
more
industrial
skill
set.
D
But
I
that's
a
population
that
would
also
benefit
greatly
from
this
green
jobs
opportunity.
So
with
that,
we
we
already
have
the
experience
in
terms
of
having
the
relationship
with
the
referral
partners,
both
internal
and
external,
with
the
with
with
the
participants
that
we're
looking
for,
and
we
already
have
some
experience
in
running
a
program
in
terms
of
the
city
we
already
as
a
city.
D
We
already
have
experience
as
do
with
doing
a
training
program
that
has
a
placement
component
at
the
end,
and
I
think
the
last
piece
that
I
will
mention
is
that,
just
in
terms
of
our
participants,
recognizing
that
an
individual
who
might
not
be
identified
as
average
approvers
doesn't
mean
that
they're
not
at
risk
approval
risk.
So
to
broaden
our
referrals
to
not
just
look
at
who,
we
think
is
going
to
be
the
ones
who's
going
to
be
the
next
leaders
of
the
gang.
D
But
looking
at
the
brothers
looking
at
the
siblings,
looking
at
the
children
of
individuals
who
have
passed
away
the
homicide,
that
can
also
be
a
way
in
which
we
sort
of
close
this.
This
achievement
gap,
or
this
lack
of
opportunity
that
we've
experienced
been
experiencing
for
the
last
40
plus
years
in
the
city.
So
I
will
shut
my
mouth
and
I
will
pass
the
mic
to
whoever's
next,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
rufus
and
I
think
it's
talia
rivera
would
soar
who's
up
next
and
then
we'll
go
to
rashad.
So
it's
talia.
Do
you
want
us.
C
It's
fine
again,
my
name
is
tilly.
I'm
the
director
over
at
saw
boston
soar
is
an
acronym
for
street
outreach,
advocacy
and
response,
and
we
are
a
program
of
the
boston
centers
for
youth
and
families.
C
Soar
is
a
program
that's
designed
to
help
young
people,
young
people
who
are
considered
getting
involved
to
change
their
life
trajectory,
and
we
do
that
by
facilitating
access
to
workplace
readiness,
life
skills
that
we
hope
improves
their
cognitive,
social
and
economic
growth.
C
Our
target
population
are
mostly
men
of
color,
although
we
do
have
a
few
females
that
are
between
the
ages
of
14
to
24,
and
our
criteria
are
those
young
people
who
are
repeatedly
engaging
in
member
or
motive
based
gang
violence
or
is
actively
associating
with
or
aiding
others
and
engaging
in
member
and
motive
based
violence.
And
what
we
mean
by
that
member-based
motive-based.
C
Violence
is
a
term
that
was
coined
by
a
professor
of
sociology
at
northwestern
university,
but
member-based
violence
is
defined
as
any
act
of
which
a
participant,
a
victim
or
a
suspect
is
affiliated
with
the
gang.
But
it's
on
a
personal
level
right.
So
maybe
I
have
a
feud
with
rufus
over
this
silly,
but
over
a
baby's
mother
right,
so
it's
not
necessarily
the
gang
as
a
whole.
C
It's
me
as
an
individual
at
odds
with
dr
folk
for
a
particular
reason
and
motive
based
acts
of
violence
is
direct
function
of
gang
activity.
You
hurt
someone
I
care
about.
We
hurt
someone
you
care
about,
but
our
pro
program
is
based.
We
have
three
program
components,
one
of
which
is
the
street
outreach
when
we're
fully
staffed.
C
What
we
do
is
we
deploy
24
outreach
and
engagement
coordinators,
formerly
known
as
street
workers,
to
specific
gangs,
to
build
really
deep,
authentic
relationships
and
really
embed
themselves
in
the
game
to
help
change
behavior
and
we're
working
currently
with
46
of
the
most
active
and
violent
gangs
in
the
city,
we've
developed
a
roster
of
roughly
360
youth
and
young
adults
that
meet
our
pro
program
criteria.
I
mean
we're
working
diligently
to
engage
them.
C
But
we,
our
team,
has
done
a
great
job
of
securing
employment
partners.
We've
been
working
really
closely
with
center
mark
home
depot
autozone
att
flower
bakery.
But,
like
you
know,
a
couple
of
the
chiefs
have
said
on
this
call.
Those
are
entry
points
right,
those
are
low,
low-wage
jobs
and
what
we're
really
looking
for
is
to
be
able
to
build
relationships
with
groups
that
could
provide
sustainable
careers
and
offer
real
growth
opportunities
for
the
population
that
we
serve.
C
But
in
addition
to
that,
we
also
facilitate
access
to
health
care
and
mental
health,
housing
and
education.
And
then
our
final
portion
of
our
program
is
response
where
we're
responding
to
incidents
of
violence
that
happen
happening
across
the
city
of
boston.
C
But
we
we're
really
excited
about
this
opportunity
with
working
more
closely
with
chief
white
hammond
and
her
team
to
bring
this
initiative
here
to
boston,
which
we
feel
like
would
be
add
great
value
to
one
of
what
I
think
is
boston's,
most
marginalized
community,
which
are
young
men
between
the
ages
of
you
know,
18
to
35
years
old.
So
we're
really
excited
about
this
and
and-
and
we
got
like-
I
said,
a
roster
of
360
kids.
So
we
could
feel
that
30
in
a
heartbeat.
E
Fantastic,
thank
you
so
much
to
leah,
and
I
think
this
is
another
space
where
you
know.
I
think
it
was
in
last
year's
budget
that
we're
able
to
work
collectively
and
kind
of
expand
that
resource
like
support
role,
and
I
think,
thinking
about
how
we
knit
soar
into
these
actual
job
opportunities.
This
is
a
really
good.
Next.
J
That's
always
great
to
hear
kamsa
bach,
thank
you,
council
bach
and
chief
white
hammond.
Just
thank
you
for
your
vision
and
just
your
leadership
around
this
effort.
As
mentioned,
my
name
is
rashad
kobe,
the
director
of
the
department
of
youth
engagement,
employment
and
I
just
want
to
offer
words
really
just
words
of
support
to
continue
to
emphasize
the
importance
of
this
effort.
J
One
of
the
major
areas
of
the
work
of
our
department
is
really
around
workforce
development
and
employment
opportunities
that
help
inform
early
career
and
educational
choices
for
young
people.
The
city
of
boston's,
commitment
on
to
youth
and
young
adult
workforce
development
has
been,
and
continues
to
be,
a
major
priority.
As
some
of
you
may
know.
Every
year
the
city
invests
millions
of
dollars
to
ensure
young
people,
both
ages,
15
to
18
and
young
adults.
J
Ages,
19
to
24
have
access
to
summer
and
school
year,
job
opportunities
through
the
mayor's,
whose
employment
program
that
is
in
partnership
with
abcd
boston,
pick
john
hancock
mlk
scholars
and
youth
options
unlimited
under
owd,
and
though
these
efforts
are
critical
for
short-term
career
exploration
and
work
readiness.
We
we
have
always
known
that
there
is
more
work
to
be
done
to
create
pipeline
and
pathway
opportunities
into
long-term
careers
that
are
economically
sustainable,
especially
for
our
marginalized
black
and
brown
and
disconnected
young
adults.
J
Some
you
know
who
we
know
have
lived
barriers
that
have
always
prevented
them
from
being
able
to
access
workforce
training
and
development
opportunities
over
the
past
five
years.
Since
I've
been
in
my
role,
many
of
our
conversations
in
the
youth
job
space
have
been.
How
do
we
reduce
inequality
and
how
do
we
improve
job
quality
experiences
for
the
young
people
here
in
boston?
J
We
are
currently
engaged
in
a
research
practice.
Partnership
with
northeastern
just
to
figure
this
out
and
tren
mentioned.
The
work
of
northeastern
would
hope.
We're
hoping
northeastern
can
also
play
an
evaluation
role
in
this
effort
here.
We
we
do
know
that
the
work
that
lies
ahead
is
is
grounded
in
ensuring
greater
intentionality
and
strengthening
workforce
and
training
for
underrepresented,
young
people,
and
we
know
our
collective
approach.
J
It
should
be
centered
around
providing
the
training
and
development
to
ensure
young
adults,
have
the
skills
and
credentials
to
compete
for
jobs
in
the
emerging
industries,
like
the
green
space
and
with
yee,
and
with
this
screen
jobs
initiative
here
you
know
our
goal
is
simple:
it's
job
preparation,
job
placement
and
job
security,
and
the
last
piece
is
really
around
youth
development.
J
It
requires
a
multi-faceted
approach
through
goal,
setting
building
positive
relationships,
mentorship
guidance
and
coaching
reskilling
and
upskilling,
and
making
holistic,
support
and
services
available
and
providing
access
to
resources
and
opportunities,
and
this
green
jobs
initiative
you
know,
is
exciting
and
is
set
to
be
an
incredible
youth
development
model
that
will
emerge
here
in
boston.
J
So
with
that,
you
know
we
we
are
excited
to
be
here
for
the
launch
of
what
I
hope
will
be
the
coming
of
more
focused
pathway
models.
So
this
is
just
not
not
the
only
one
that
boston
needs
to
launch,
there's
more
opportunities
that
are
aligned
with
this,
that
you
know
we
need
to
begin
to
think
more
critically
about
for
young
people,
but
most
importantly
for
the
young
adults
here
in
boston.
So
just
want
to
share
those
words
of
support.
Think
and
just
thank
you
all
and
that's
it.
E
Great,
thank
you
so
much
rashad
and
thank
you
to
everybody.
So
I
mean,
I
think,
just
seeing
the
the
number
of
departments
that
are
going
to
have
a
handle
in
this
and
how
much
we're
doing
already
in
the
city
and
the
way
that
those
things
can
get
pulled
together
for
this
green
jobs.
Initiative
is
really
encouraging
and
exciting
and
and
yeah
it's
it's
it's
a
balance
between
saying.
There
are
some
things
we
can
learn
from
philadelphia
and
also
we're
not
starting
from
zero
here
in
boston.
E
There's
a
lot
of
really
strong
work.
Folks
have
been
doing
already.
So
I
want
to
appreciate
that
all
right,
we're
gonna
jump
into
counselor
questions
now
and
I'll,
go
to
my
colleagues
first
and
then
back
cleanup,
and
then
we've
got
some
members
of
the
public
waiting
to
testify
as
well,
so
that'll
be
councillor
flynn
and
then
councillor
braden,
counselor
flynn.
You
have
the
floor.
G
Thank
you,
council
block
and
thank
you
to
the
panelists
for
providing
an
excellent
description
of
the
program,
so
it
was
very
informative
to
me
and
I'm
sure,
to
the
public
as
well.
So
my
question,
maybe
maybe
I'll,
ask
dr
faulk
this
question
one
one
area
that
I'm
particularly
interested
in
learning
more
about
as
a
former
probation
officer
at
superior
court.
G
So
you
know
with
this
with
this
new
economy,
with
the
green
economy
in
in
opportunities
and
training
and
employment.
One
one
area
that
we
both
share-
that
we
both
want
to
see
expanded
is,
is
young
men
especially
coming
out
of
jail
coming
out
of
prison,
but
is
there?
G
Is
there
a
way
to
provide
any
training
to
them
in
in
these
fields,
while
they're
still
being
held
in
custody,
while
they're,
while
they're
in
jail,
while
they're
in
in
prison,
where
we
we
get
them
the
training
and
experience
in
knowing
about
this
field
before
they
come
out,
so
that
that
there's
a
clearer
path
for
them?
G
D
That's
a
great
question
counselor.
I
I
didn't
mention
that
so
the
short
answer
to
your
very
difficult
question
is
that
there
is
a
way.
Do
we
have
the
way
currently
not
right?
Now,
I
think,
as
a
city
we're
doing
a
a
better
job
at
trying
to
formalize
relationships
with
both
the
house
of
corrections
and
the
department
of
corrections.
I
sit
on
a
panel
with
this,
that's
led
by
representative
representative
elegardo
and
jamie
eldridge
around.
D
How
do
we
sort
of
formalize
and
sort
of
break
down
some
of
these
sort
of
systemic
issues
that
we
have
within
the
department
of
corrections,
and
we
have
some
relationships
with
house
corrections
in
south
bay.
But
to
answer
your
question
right
now,
we
do
not
have
a
way
to
provide
that
level
of
training.
That's
not
to
say
that
it's
not
possible.
D
I
just
think
it
will
just
take
a
all
hands
on
approach
to
sort
of
have
that
meeting,
with
both
the
house
of
corrections
and
the
department
of
corrections
to
have
a
curriculum
that
we
can
have
someone
who
can
facilitate
within
these
institutions,
but
then
also
work
with
our
re-entry
coordinators,
who
are
behind
the
wall.
D
To
make
sure
that
they
can
produce
a
level
of
referrals
and
offer
this
opportunity
to
individuals
who
will
be
returning,
especially
with
individuals
returning
within
the
next
year
and
18
months
or
maybe
two
years
or
even
maybe
maybe
even
maxed
out
to
three
years
folks
who
would
be
returning
to
the
city
of
boston,
letting
them
know
that
this
opportunity
is
available,
but
also
letting
know
what
the
pathways
are
and
then
giving
everyone
a
sort
of
basic
understanding
of
foundational
knowledge
or
how
they
can
enter
into
the
industry
when
they,
when
they
release
but
great
question.
D
G
Yeah
that
thank
you
doctor
and
appreciate
those
comments
and
and
in
the
work
that
you've
done,
maybe
just
thinking
outside
the
box.
Even
maybe
we
could
reach
out
to
steve
tompkins
and
see
if
there's
a
possibility
of
maybe
even
developing
a
pilot
program
in
in
in
in
seeing
what
steve's
thoughts
might
be
on
how
he
can
do
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
of
work
while
people
are
held
in
because,
as
you
know,
house
of
correction
would
be
sentence
is
two
and
a
half
years
or
under
so
those
those
men
are
getting
out.
G
You
know,
probably
in
the
next
year,
so
we
want
to
just
make
sure
that
this
field
might
be
open
to
them
and
at
least
they
know
about
it,
or
at
least
they
can
have
a
point
of
context,
so
they
can
contact
someone
once
they
get
out,
but
anyway
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
entire
team.
Here
it
was.
It
was
a
very
good
discussion
and
I
I
I
support
it
and
will
do
everything
I
can
to
to
be
helpful
as
well.
So
thank
you,
council
block.
E
Thank
you,
counselor
flynn,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
for
your
support,
and
I
know
that
I
know
that
chief
whiteham
entrailed
the
fact
that
they're
gonna
look
for
another
seven
million
after
the
four
that
we
provided.
So
so
there
will
be
council
collaboration
sought
going
forward.
Is
that
fair
to
say?
Chief?
Yes,.
F
Those
arpa
funds
are
allowed
to
be
used
for
up
to
three
years
and
I
just
think,
as
a
former
executive
director
myself,
who
left
the
work,
because
I
had
what
I
called
post-traumatic
fundraising
disorder,
I
would
love
to
bring
that
person
in
and
allow
them
to
really
focus
on
making
sure
the
young
folks
we
get
are
trained
and
supported
and
not
hustling
to
always
raise
their
budget.
So
thank
you
for
mentioning
that
counselor
bach.
F
I
do
think
it's
a
real
opportunity
to
allow
them
to
focus
on
the
work
and
to
use
the
arbor
funds
that
we
have
to
reach
those
people
who
have
most
been
most
deeply
impacted.
K
Thank
you.
I
can't
tell
you
how
excited
I
am
with
this
conversation
this
morning.
I
think
it's
wonderful
and
I
appreciate
that.
There's
a
lot
of
things
already
in
place
in
boston,
so
we
can
hopefully
hit
the
floor
running
on
this
one.
K
I
I
feel
that
I
just
have
a
question
about
how
soon
young
people
can
get
into
these
programs.
I
often
feel
that
some
of
our
young
people
get
very
restless
by
the
time
they're
about
16
years
old
and
moving
into
some
sort
of
a
program
like
this,
rather
than
sitting
on
a
desk
in
school,
might
be
a
much
more
productive
track
for
them.
K
I
know
from
my
experience
in
northern
ireland
that
that,
at
the
age
of
16,
young
people
can
choose
to
go
into
this
sort
of
career
development,
job
training,
rather
than
persist
in
in
going
to
going
to
school
every
day.
K
This
sounds
like
a
really
radical
suggestion,
but
I
just
wondered
about
the
age
cut
off
or
whether
student
high
school
students
could
could
start
to
participate
in
this
sort
of
career
track
and
then,
as
they
graduate
from
school,
go
right
into
it,
ready
to
go
right
into
these
jobs,
any
thoughts
being
given
to
that.
F
So
we
did
have
a
meeting
with
madison,
so
we've
we've
the
two
schools
that
we
are
looking
at
as
referring
agencies,
so
most
of
who
you
who
we
know
that
just
sitting
on
this
call
there's
enough
referrals
to
get
us
started
with
the
30.
so
that
that
just
I
want
to
be
transparent
about
that.
But
the
two
schools
that
were
that
we've
started
conversations
with
are
boston,
green
academy
and
madison
park,
and
those
are
the
two
schools
that
we're
looking
at
having
direct
referrals.
F
Currently,
the
conversation
is
about
their
seniors
because
we're
not
yet
at
the
point
where
we
I'm
not
sure
the
bps
would
be
wanting
to
open
a
conversation
about
having
young
people
not
finish,
but
we
have
been
sort
of
saying.
Is
there
any
way
that
seniors
could
actually
be
given
time
to
start?
F
And
maybe,
if
you
know
we'll
have
to
figure
this
all
out,
but
we're
talking
about
the
starting
date
being
either
april
or
may
and
and
the
reason
being
once
the
industry
academy
start,
you
want
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
unit
hours
before
the
snow
starts
hitting
because
some
of
the
a
lot
of
this
work
is
outdoor
work
and
and
it's
fine
to
be
finishing
up
in
the
snow.
F
But
it's
not
a
great
idea
to
be
starting
with
the
snow,
and
so
an
april
launch
would
be
preferable
in
a
lot
of
ways
in
terms
of
the
kinds
of
training.
So
we
have
already
started
that
conversation
with
madison
and
they
have
some
infrastructure
that
might
make
it
possible.
But
I
think
after
that
I
mean
what
your
name
I
I
don't
know,
council
britain,
if
you
got
to
work
with
my
husband,
a
lot,
but
he
is
a
big
fan
of
us
like
pushing
the
envelope
around
what
really
counts
as
education.
F
What
allows
young
people
to
complete
their
requirements?
Yeah.
The
one
thing
I
will
say
that
philly
powercore
did
caution
us
on
is:
if
young
people
have
really
serious
like
they're,
not
able
to
read,
there's
some
basic
computational
things.
What
they've
said
is,
if
you
don't
address
some
of
those
things,
they
can
actually
stop
people
down
the
line,
so
we'll
just
need
to
figure
out.
K
K
L
K
And
very
often
it's
the
young
men
who
get
very
restless-
and
you
know
they
don't
see
the
point
in
all
this
schooling
and
they
drop
out
anyway.
So
it's
if
we
could
capture
those
young
people
who
are
at
risk
of
dropping
out,
maybe
and
channel
that
energy
into
a
career
pathway
that
anyway,
I
I'm
very
excited.
I
hope
we
can
support
them.
K
The
projects
with
with
money
and
the
other
thing
I'm
thinking
about
here
in
in
the
city
and
also
particularly
in
austin
brighton,
is
we
have
a
lot
of
you
know
speculative
investment
in
lab
development,
and
I
I
see
a
lot
of
jobs
in
that
sphere.
So
I
think
we
should
be
thinking
about
a
pipeline
to
developing
developing
our
young
people
to
take
advantage
of
of
those
sort
of
lab
technology
jobs
that
don't
necessarily
require
a
phd
in
biochemistry
or
anything,
but
it's
those
middle
level,
jobs
that
are
good
good,
paying
jobs.
K
F
Yeah-
and
I
do
want
to
highlight
katherine
walsh
who's,
the
sustainability
coordinator
of
bps
has
been
so
supportive
really
really
helpful
in
this.
I
do
want
to
take
this
moment
really
quickly.
Also,
I
thought
I
I
already
was
able
to
acknowledge
lindsay
santana
in
our
office.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
cat
eschel
who's,
not
one
of
the
testifiers,
but
the
two
of
them
have.
F
I
got
back
from
philly
and
I
was
like
we're
gonna
do
this
in
two
weeks,
we're
gonna
get
started
and
they
have
been
hustling
moving,
heaven
and
earth
behind
the
scenes.
I
I
know
trend
mentioned
the
good
slides.
F
The
great
the
slides
are
not
great
because
of
me
it's
because
the
staff
is
here,
supportive,
moving
it
along.
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
fact
that
I
have
amazing
staff
who
make
me
look
good
and
and
also
are
as
inspired
and
excited
about
these
crazy
ideas
and
moving
it
forward.
So.
K
Yeah,
we
love
crazy
ideas.
This
is
how
the
world
moves
forward.
The
other
question
I
had
having
a
background
in
in
special
education
as
a
physical
therapist
is
that
I
was
wondering
about
you
know
in
terms
of
a
subset
of
these
students
are
young
people,
students
with
with
disabilities?
K
Are
we
thinking
about
subs?
And
you
know
this
might
be
further
down
the
line.
You
know
we're
talking
about
a
pilot
program,
but
I
really
would
like
us
to
think
about
addressing
the
needs
for
some
employment
opportunities
for
young
people
with
disabilities
as
well,
because
I
know
that
that's
I
hear
from
parents
that
once
the
kids
age
out
of
school,
that
very
often
it's
very
difficult
to
get
them
and
get
them
job,
job,
employment
and
gainfully
employed
and-
and
they
have
a
lot
to
bring
to
the
table
many
of
them.
K
F
Yeah,
I
would
love
to
continue
that
conversation
we're
not
in
that
space.
Yet,
and
one
of
the
challenges
you
know
also
with
younger
folks
is
a
number
of
the
two
of
the
industries.
We're
looking
at
do
require
an
ability
to
use
power
tools
which,
which
is
a
bit
of
a
challenge
if
folks
are
under
18
or
folks,
have
any
physical
challenges,
but
again
power
core
extends
all
the
way
they
have
park.
F
K
Is
very
exciting
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
and
thank
you
to
councillor
bach
for
her
leadership
in
this
space
as
well.
This
is
very
exciting.
Thank
you.
That's
all
I
have
madam
chair.
E
Thank
you
so
much
councillor,
braden
chief
whiteham,
and
I
was
wondering,
if
maybe
I
thought
it
might
be
helpful
for
us
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
kind
of
where
folks
end
up,
because
we've
talked
a
bunch
in
this
conversation
about
the
recruitment
and
kind
of
how
people
come
in
and
get
trained.
But
I
feel
like
for
for
folks
who
are
watching
at
home.
I
wanted
to
expand
a
little
bit
so,
and
maybe
you
could
build
on
this.
E
I
think
what
part
of
what
was
exciting
to
me
at
powercore
in
philly,
is
that
it
has.
It
has
been
part
of
a
significant
expansion
of
public
jobs,
there's
a
whole
new
green
stormwater
infrastructure
division
in
their
water
department,
which
sort
of
is
charged
with
both
installing
and
then
maintaining
these
substantial.
You
know
whether
you're
talking
about
rain
gardens,
whether
you're
talking
about
you,
know
lots
of
tree
plantings
and
stuff
like
that.
E
Those
become
part
of
kind
of
the
a
new
category
of
assets
and
they're
managed
by
a
an
expansion
in
staff
that
then
has
been
significantly
drawing
from
power
core
you
reference.
The
park
rangers
an
area
where,
both
in
philly
and
here
there's
been
challenges
with
retention
and
training
that
a
a
good
program
might
might
be
able
to
meet.
As
you
know,
it
comes
up
all
the
time
from
the
council
side
that
we
get
frustrated
that
you
know.
E
There's
our
arborist
max
is
everyone's
favorite
city
employee,
but
we
need
to
clone
him,
but
you
know
the
question
of:
can
we
have
a
program
like
this?
That
really
is.
I
is
allowing
us
to
expand.
City
arborist
is
allowing
us
to
have
experts
in
the
city
who
could
be
dealing
with
whether
it's
tree
pruning
or
this
emerald
ash
borer
outbreak.
You
know
the
vaccination
of
the
trees
and
stuff.
It
would
be
great
if
we
didn't
have
to
contract
so
much
of
that
work
out,
and
we
could
give
it
to.
E
You
know,
train
folks
here
and
then
and
then
I
think
that
at
the
same
time
also,
you
were
referring
to
the
fellowships
and
I
wanted
to
land
on
this
point
again
just
for
people,
people
in
the
non-profit,
space
we're
like
well.
How
does
this
work
with
us?
E
One
of
the
things
that
philly
does
is
those
that
it
does
that
foundation,
training
and
then
there
might
be
there
are
these
industry
academies
for
the
public
facing
jobs
and
then
for
a
few
of
the
industries
like
solar,
like
masonry,
etc,
but
also,
if
there
are,
if
there
are
organizations
that
where
we
can
place
people
directly,
that's
another
another
model
that
they
use,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
really
important
about
this
work
is
that
the
kind
of
the
wraparound
community
that
we've
been
describing
that
supports
people
getting
in
and
going
through.
E
The
training
is
also
there
for
them
like
when,
when
the
graduates
go
and
work
in
another
context
in
this
world
that
you
know,
people
are
still
checking
up
on
them
that,
if
there's
an
issue
with
the
employer
that
they've
got
a
support
system,
that's
trying
to
help
solve
the
issue.
I
think
that's
really
important
and
and
then
of
course,
obviously
we
also
just
want
lots
of
private
hiring.
E
I
think
we
all
know
that
a
lot
of
the
building
retrofit
work-
that's
gonna
happen-
is
going
to
be
on
the
private
side
and
the
question
is,
you
know
who
who
gets
hired
to
those
jobs,
and
it's
exciting
that
in
philadelphia
there
are
now
you
know,
contractors
there
is
inevitably
both
outside
contract
work
for
the
city
chief
boros
milner.
E
You
touched
on
this
and
also
obviously
there's
lots
of
private
work
and
now
there's
a
bunch
of
like
contracting
firms
that
are
staffed
by
and
in
some
cases
owned
by
philly
power
corps
graduates.
So
I
think,
like
that's,
a
really
key
piece
of
the
puzzle
too.
So
I
just
want
to
stress
to
people
that,
in
terms
of
where
we
would
hope
graduates
of
a
program
like
this
would
go,
it
really
is
in
all
of
the
above,
create
new
public
jobs.
K
E
Also
feed
our
boston
graduates
into
a
you
know:
growing
private
ecosystem
for
all
this
stuff
and
hopefully,
hopefully
make
boston
a
place
that
other
cities
and
towns
around
the
country
are
trying
to
recruit
people
from
so
I
don't
know
chief
if
you
wanted
to
speak
to
that
or
if
any
of
the
other
chiefs
or
directors
on
the
line.
If
that,
if
there's
anything
about
that
that
you
wanted
to
amplify.
F
You
know,
and
I
I
will
defer
to
chibari
smaller,
because
I
know
she's
been
looking
at
this
a
lot,
but
I
just
want
to
know
you
know
I
can
say
internally.
I
am
at
times
concerned
that
we
have
some
of
the
positions
within
my
own
department.
F
Do
not
meet
the
standard
of
the
kind
of
wage,
respect
that
I
I
would
expect
for
any
job,
and
I
think
people
we
have
a
mismatch
between
places
where
we
need
more
skills
and
whether
or
not
we're
making
sure
workers
have
those
skills,
as
you've
mentioned,
there's
a
huge
backlog
in
terms
of
tree
pla,
tree
planting
and
tree
maintenance,
and
the
question
is:
why
can't
we
be
employing
residents
of
the
city
of
boston,
who've
been
locked
out,
often
in
the
past,
to
do
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done,
and
so
I
think
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
blew
me
away
when
I
was
in
philly,
where
I
asked
a
group
of
young
men
said
what
what
are
you
doing?
F
You
know
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
it.
They
started
talking
to
me
about
the
rotation
of
tree
pruning
season
why
the
city
had
moved
to
rain
water
gardens
what
it
takes
to
maintain
those
gardens.
You
know-
and
I'm
sitting
here
saying
this
is
a
level
of
awareness
about
water
and
flooding
and
maintenance
that,
to
be
honest
with,
you
is
not
yet
integrated
into
our
own
parks
department.
We
are
building
these
parks
as
not
just
places
of
recreation,
but
also
as
flooding
management
systems,
but
because
we
have
not
trained
our
own
folks.
F
We
then
end
up
paying
outside
contractors
to
maintain
these
facilities
when
our
people
could
be
making
maintaining
them,
and
we
could
be
using
those
same
resources
to
augment
their
salaries
so
that
we
can
be
paying
everybody
a
living
wage.
So
I
think
that
there
are
so
many
win
wins
and
I
think
you
know
I
know
the
council.
F
I
have
gotten
more
than
enough
advocacy
from
the
council
around
this
issue
of
trees
and
what
we
need
to
do,
and
so
I
think
I
I
can
say
with
relative
certainty
that
one
of
our
industry
academies
when
we
launch
will
be
around
urban
forestry
and
speak
air,
because
I
think
that
it
will
again
when
we
have
an
unmet
need.
F
Why
wouldn't
we
fill
that
need
first
and
foremost
by
the
young
people,
people
in
our
city
that
have
often
been
locked
out
and
and
I
would
be
honored
to
be
in
my
neighborhood.
So
often
I
see
people
doing
construction
in
my
neighborhood
doing
work
in
my
neighborhood
that
are
not
from
my
neighborhood.
F
F
I'd
like
to
see
those
young
people
be
part
of
the
solution,
particularly
in
our
neighborhoods,
like
roxbury,
like
dorchester,
like
chinatown,
where
flooding
is
real
not
in
the
future,
but
right
now,
and
so
I
think
that
it's
really
exciting
to
be
able
to
look
at
that
for
city
jobs,
and
there
are
other
institutions
like
the
state,
just
put
a
ton
of
money
around
weatherization
jobs,
and
they
have
had
challenges
in
the
past,
making
sure
that
our
folks
got
in.
F
So
there's
so
many
opportunities,
I'm
not
worried
about
the
pipeline
of
jobs
and
I'm,
quite
frankly
not
worried
about
the
pipeline
of
young
people,
because
this
team
I
mean
folks,
we
have
connection
to
young
people
across
the
city,
and
so
now
all
we
got
to
do
is
do
that
little
key,
not
unimportant,
but
very,
very
crucial,
part
of
making
sure
we
build
the
curriculum
and
the
opportunities
that
connect
the
young
people
with
the
jobs
that
are
available
so
yeah
and
and,
as
you
know,
council
box
said
we
can
start
right
now
in
jobs,
city
jobs
that
could
could
use
this.
H
Think
chief
white
hammond
said
it
completely,
but
I
think
that
any
any
time
when
you
have
the
opportunity
to.
H
Help
the
supply
meet
the
demand
right
and
and
and
do
the
necessary
intervention
so
that
our
local
residents
can
benefit
from
these
opportunities.
I
I
just
think
it's
something
we
need
to
do
and
I
think
we
have
the
unique
opportunity,
given
that
the
city
itself
has
these
opportunities
that
you
know
we
can.
H
We
can
do
it
in-house
right,
and
I
think
that
that's
what
is
really
hard
for
us
to
do
when
it's
outside
and
so
yeah.
I
think
that
that
this
is,
I
I
feel
like
I'm
just
like.
Okay,
we
need
to
do
this
for
all
these
other
industries
too,
but
like
let's
start
here
and-
and
I
would
love
to
also
just
think
about
the
supplier
side
in
terms
of
contractors,
you
know,
as
the
city
undertakes
retrofitting
for
its
own
buildings,
but
also
we
have
a
call
out
for
the
entire.
H
You
know,
city
of
boston,
buildings
to
be
retrofitted.
Those
are
opportunities
that
are
happening
right
now,
and
I
think
that
you
know
again.
H
I
don't
want
to
detract
from
this
conversation,
but
it's
something
I
just
want
to
flag
for,
especially
you
counselor
bach
and
counselor
counselor
braden,
that
I
think
we
need
to
be
on
that
right
now
to
do
something
similar
for
minority
and
women-owned
local
contractors
that
are
in
you
know
the
hvac
fields
or
electrical,
or
you
know
some
of
the
fields
that
will
be
critical
for
retrofitting
our
buildings
and
make
sure
that
they're
getting
the
necessary
certifications
and
training
and
also
the
direct
connection
to
opportunities.
I
Great
counselor,
if
I
may
just
quickly
add
to
echo
both
of
our
chiefs
responses.
I
Some
departments
is
33
and
to
me,
that's
a
crisis,
but
that's
a
different
story,
and
so
I
also
think
that
this
power
core
is
extremely
timely,
because
some
of
those
collective
bargaining
agreements
have
to
be
renewed,
especially
under
a
new
administration.
I
So,
for
example,
when
we
looked
at
parks
and
recreation,
collective
bargaining-
we
didn't
make
it
in
time
because
they
just
signed
their
three-year
collective
marketing,
so
that
three
year
is
up
and
so,
for
example,
within
their
collective
bargaining,
you
could
have
a
provision
that
says
you
can
hire
x,
y
and
z,
and
then
your
third
hire
could
be
a
graduate
from
the
power
core
if
that
person
is
qualified,
and
so
that
can
those
provisions
can
be
put
into
collective
bargaining.
I
For
example,
I
know
that
when
we
looked
at
boston
housing
authority,
their
collective
bargaining
for
certain
jobs,
where
every
other,
so
every
one
job
is
it's
from
labor
who
are
benched
and
then
the
other
is
for
management,
so
management
from
bha
gets
to
pick
and
choose
who
they
want
for
that.
Job
of
the
other
example
is
that
we
boston
water
sewer,
which
is
a
huge
great
employer.
I
They
have
a
magnificent
career
mobility
path
within
their
training
program
and
they
don't
have
a
collective
bargain
in
terms
of
entry
level,
hires,
and
so
the
every
department
is
different
on
how
they
hire
permanent
jobs,
and
so
this
is
really
timely.
As
we
look
at
that,
so
I
wouldn't
leave
some
of
those
tools
out
as
we're
looking
for
placements,
because
city
jobs
are
great
jobs
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
residents,
qualified
residents,
get
first
dips
at
these
jobs
as
well.
I
E
Thank
you
so
much
tren
yeah
and
I
I
strongly
agree,
I'm
a
big
believer
that
collective
bargaining
agreements
are
also
policy
documents
and
that
there
are
many
important
ways
for
us
to
absolutely
honor
our
workers
and
our
departments
and
give
people
strong
contracts
that
protect
them
as
workers
in
the
city
and
think
about
how
we're
how
we're
making
the
access
to
those
excellent
jobs
and
protections
much
more
equitable
and,
as
you
know,
I'm
I'm
standing
in
for
my
colleague,
counselor
o'malley.
E
At
this
point
that
says
this
is
the
environment
department,
but
I
am
the
chair
of
ways
and
means
which
reviews
all
the
cbas
and
that's
a
very
important
thing
to
me.
So
thank
you
for
raising
that.
I
think
it's
and
it's
an
unusual
situation
as
you
say
that
we
are
in
a
position
where
all
of
those
negotiations
are
up
at
the
moment
of
administration
transition
so
and
at
the
moment
of
us
trying
to
kick
this
off.
So
you
know
shame
on
us.
E
If
we
don't
take
advantage
of
that
that
synergy,
I
guess
one
other
question
for
you
tren-
would
just
be
if
you
could
speak
a
little
bit
and
I
mean
the
same
anybody
else
if
you
want
to
jump
in,
but
one
of
the
things
I
was
thinking
about
in
terms
of
the
it's
amazing
that
we
can
provide
these
community
college
credits
and
support
it
feels
like,
as
we
build
out
this
ecosystem.
One
of
the
things
we're
going
to
want
to
do
is
have
a
kind
of
recursive
feedback
loop
around.
E
What
certifications
are
actually
helpful
to
people,
because
I'm
always
a
big
believer
of
like
don't
just
have
people
earning
things
that,
like
I
mean
I
think
the
chief
alluded
to
it
like
are
a
certificate,
but
then
nobody
actually
wants
that
for
their
jobs,
right
and
and
then,
conversely,
of
course,
if
they're,
you
know
if
there
are
certifications
that
are
really
great
and
we
create
good
equitable
pathways
into
them.
Those
are
certifications
that
we
can.
E
And
I
don't
know
if
there
are,
if
there's
anything
like
that
in
our
current
programs,
where
we
kind
of
loop
back
to
the
community
colleges
and
say:
hey,
we've
had
a
bunch
of
young
people
take
the
certification,
but
it
turns
out
that
the
employers
kind
of
want
something
a
little
bit
different.
Have
you
guys
thought
about,
or
I
don't
know
if
you
could
speak
to
that
a
little
bit.
I
Yes,
just
quickly,
I
also
defer
to
my
colleagues
too.
I'm
really
sorry.
I
have
a
bad
cold
and
a
sinus
infection.
So
if
I
skip
through
some
words-
or
I
can't
hear
you
it's
because
of
that
infection-
that's
a
really
important
question
council
box.
So
I
really
appreciate
it
because
we're
always
looking
for
quality
and
efficiency
and
effectiveness.
So
we
don't.
I
We
don't
want
to
train
people
just
for
the
sake
of
training
people,
and
so
I
think
one
is
that
the
key
question
about
whether
or
not
that's
that
certification
is
needed
by
labor
the
labor
market.
Our
employers
is
really
important.
I
That's
why
we
only
vet
certifications
on
the
fact
that,
if
that
college
or
that
entity
engage
employers
in
designing
that
certification,
and
so,
if
someone
just
says
we
just
whipped
it
up,
we
we
wouldn't
put
them
on
our
preferred
list,
and
then
the
second
piece
is
that
we
also
look
at
you
know
whether
or
not
that
training
could
be
transferred
or
created
as
stackable
credits.
That
already
gets
you
into
and
a
leg
up
into
an
an
associate
degree
if
that
person
decides
to
take
it.
So
we
carefully
look
at
that.
I
Agreements
and
madison
park
has
15
that
no
one
ever
uses
or
reads
or
who
cares,
but
I
love
those
things
and
they're
like
gems
and
tools.
Why
not?
Right?
I
mean
you've
already
worked
a
year
and
half
of
a
half
the
time
you
worked
already
matriculated
credits
into
roxbury,
community
college
or
bacc
and
you're
60
there
to
completion,
and
so
you
know
that
third
piece
is
that
we
have
tools
already.
I
If,
if
we
want
to
create
articulation
agreements,
it's
very
timely,
mainly
because
the
state
has
to
look
at
it
to
and
the
faculty
has
to
approve
for
those
credits,
and
so
the
the
short
answer.
I
Quick
answer
is:
yes,
we
have
a
vetting
process,
it's
not
standard,
and
then
the
the
other
piece
I
do
want
to.
Let
you
know
is
that
in
the
last
year
year
and
a
half,
we
work
with
the
environment
department
to
put
together
a
repository
of
community
college,
certifications
and
degrees,
as
it
relates
to
this
green
or
clean
energy
environment
action
plan.
I
And
so
what
we
can
do
is
look,
go
back
and
look
at
that
literature
scan
and
that
repository
and
go
through
a
vetting
process
one
by
one,
and
then
we
match
it
up
with
these
industry,
with
the
industry
academy
that
that
chief
white
hammond
had
spoken
about
in
one
of
her
slides.
So
no
again,
no
reason
to
re
reinvent
the
wheel.
We
have
a
lot
of
those
tools
and
we
start
plugging
them
in
into
that
industry.
I
So
there
is
a
process
we
can
make
it
happen,
and
those
are
the
three
areas
in
which
we
can
look
at
training,
certifications,
employer
engagement
and
articulation
agreements
more
than
happy
to
talk
offline
on
that
hope.
That
answers
your
question.
E
Absolutely
thank
you
so
much
friend,
that's
really
helpful
and
rashad
question
for
me
to
you.
I
I'm
almost
done.
I
know
we've
got
folks
waiting
to
testify
so
just
letting
you
know
that
we'll
get
to
you
shortly,
rashad
one
of
the
things
I
find
myself
thinking
about
you
know.
We've
talked
before
about.
E
We
have
this
great
little
ecosystem
of
green
jobs,
focused
programs
and
success
links,
and
I
guess,
there's
a
question
for
you
and
also
the
chiefs
like
it
feels
to
me
like
and
those
are
already
existing
and
they
and
they
work
with
a
bunch
of
our
young
people
and
obviously
to
counselor
braden's
point
those
tend
to
be.
You
know
those
are
younger
young
people
right
they're,
mostly
teenagers,
but
I
wonder
if
there's
a
a
way
as
we
really
get
this
green
jobs
program
rolling
again
to
kind
of
like
connect
there.
E
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
are
that
I
know
you're
you've
been
trying
to
expand
capacity
on
at
why
ee
is
the
ability
to
kind
of
analyze
the
programming
and
think
about.
What's
setting
you
up
in
the
workforce,
development
direction,
like
you
said,
like
really
creating
a
pipeline,
and
I
wonder
if
there's
a
way
to
almost
like
you
know,
provide
some
focus
support
to
those
to
those
pro
success.
E
Like
programs,
we
have
that
are
really
in
this
space,
whether
it's
you
know
exposing
their
graduates
to
the
the
existence
of
the
program
or
or
just
kind
of
like
thinking
it
before
kind
of
like
with
madison
park.
Thinking
about
how
those
are
turn
into
like
those
give
you
the
right,
pre-skills
or
anything,
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
have
talked
about
sort
of
the
ye
end
of
all
of
this
yeah.
J
Yeah,
council
blog,
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
I
think
one
thing
that
we
we
can
begin
to
think
about
doing
is
establishing
a
standard
framework.
You
know
that
is
focused
on
very
specific
career
areas
as
it
aligns
with
the
success
link
program.
So
we
know
that
many
young
people,
you
know,
are
working
within
our
nonprofit
community
based
organizations
such
as
speak
for
the
trees
ace
who
offer
environmental
opportunities
for
young
people.
J
I
think
if
we
can
begin
to
put
in
place
on
a
standard
framework
that
assures
that
young
people
are
green
jobs,
ready
as
they
are
participating
in
those
summer
jobs.
I
think
it
can
help
them
be
prepared
for
transition
into
this
this
this
this
power
corps
model.
So
I
think
that
that's
one
way
that
we
can
think
about
streamlining.
You
know
the
15
to
18
year
olds
that
are
working
in
these
organizations,
and
you
know
as
we're
thinking
about
expanding
this.
J
E
Yeah
one
of
the
things
that
came
to
mind
for
me
was
that
one
of
the
things
I've
heard
from
our
our
success
link
programs
in
the
green
jobs
area
has
been.
You
know.
Oh,
we
wish
we
had.
As
you
know,
right
there
are
those
supervisor
roles
and
often
they're
sort
of
like
one
which
are
slightly
older
folks
and
there's
usually
there's
often
kind
of
one
to
ten.
E
You
know
at
most
is
the
ratio
and
one
of
the
things
I've
heard
is
hey
and
chief
white
hammond
mentioned
this
right
like
we
need
these
like
to
do
some
of
the
work
with
trees.
We
need
real
tools
and
then
you
need
real
supervision
right,
and
so
you
know-
and
so
there's,
like
kind
of
like
fundraising,
to
to
pay
folks
a
little
more
or
get
more
of
those
kind
of
group
leaders-
and
I
was
thinking
reverend
mariama-
that
you
know
with
obviously
philly's
launch
that
youth
work
industry
academy
thinking
about.
E
Is
there
a
way
for
some
of
the
folks
who
run
through
this
program,
eventually
to
maybe
be
reaching
back
and
helping?
You
know,
run
those
success,
link,
programs
and
sort
of
two
birds.
One
stone
right
for
them:
it's
a
placement
and
youth
work
for
the
success
link
programs.
It's
you
know
more
of
the
support
that
they've
looked
for,
and
it's
not
just
a
pair
of
hands.
It's
actually
somebody
who's,
really
well
trained
and
well
set
up
to
be
a
mentor.
So
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
flag
that.
F
Yeah
I
mean,
I
think,
that
you
know,
I
think
the
power
core
is
doing
amazing
work
and
I
was
blown
away
and
I
think
we
have
an
even
richer
ecosystem
here.
That
would
allow
us
to
scale
up
faster
with
even
more
opportunity
much
of
what
they
have
they
had
to
build.
I
don't
think
we
actually
have
to
build
all
of
what
they've
built,
because
I
think
we
have
a
lot
here.
So
I
think
that
that's
an
example
of
another,
you
know
a
slide.
The
industry
academy
is
one
piece.
F
Those
were:
are
people
we're
tracking
in
to
go
work
in
the
parks
department
to
go
work
in
the
boston
water
sewer?
Yes,
we
can
do
that,
but
they're
also
what
they
have
listed
as
like
fellowships
and
post-secondary.
Some
people
are
going
to
do
the
work
and
say
now.
I
know
I
really
want
to
do
that
and
that
I
can't
do
in
a
six-month
industry
academy,
so
I'm
going
to
want
to
go
off
to
work,
but
also
we
might
find
young
people
who
are
actually
really
great
at
training.
F
Other
young
people
who
are
like
just
really
engaging
and
we
might
be
able
to
say
yeah
the
best
fit
for
you,
is
to
now
do
a
fellowship
with
ace
doing
you
know
they
used
to
do
you
know
this
whole
piece
around
planting,
so
they
did
these
seed
balls
and
they
would
plant
wildflowers
in
a
lot
of
places
like
maybe
that's
the
right
next
mix
right
for
you,
so
I
think
that
there's
there's,
I
think,
what's
really
key
for
me,
is
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities
out
there.
F
I
don't
think
that
makes
sense
if
we
can
do
all
the
support
work
and
get
all
the
information
in
the
same
place,
so
somebody
could
sit
down
and
say
when
we
did
that
rotation
at
the
parks
the
other
day.
I
really
noticed
you
were
doing
this.
You
could
go
on
this
training
that
you
know
set
you
up
for
the
parks
department,
but
would
urban
farming
be
something
you're
interested
in
and
now,
instead
of
the
urban
farming
institute,
having
to
do
all
the
work
for
the
three
positions
they
have?
F
We
can
just
say
out
of
this
hundred
young
people.
We
think
it's
a
good
chance.
Three
of
them
are
gonna,
be
interested
and
we'll
send
them
there.
So
I
think
I
think
you
know
a
lot
of
the
work
in
addition
to
making
sure
that
that
that
the
curriculum
is
aligned,
as
you
said
that
we're
not
giving
people
pieces
of
paper
that
don't
go
anywhere.
F
I
think
this
is
allowing
a
clearinghouse
so
that
all
of
the
rich
pieces
of
the
ecosystem,
but
that
are
smaller,
do
not
have
to
build
all
of
this
infrastructure
around
it.
I
think
we
can
answer
some
of
that.
We
can
source
to
the
yee
folks
that
are
there.
We
can
also
take
young
people.
F
Out
of
that,
you
know,
I
think,
there's
just
a
lot
of
opportunities,
and
I
think
that
this
in
many
ways
we're
going
to
have
a
hub
and
spoke
model
where
we
have
something
centered
that
allow
everybody
to
plug
in,
but
also
allow
everybody
to
expand
out
in
multiple
different
directions.
So
I
think
the
the
possibilities
quite
frankly
are
are
endless.
F
I
love
philly,
my
dad
grew
up
there.
My
grandma
was
there,
so
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
there
and
I
am
all
for
what
they're
doing.
I
do
think
because
of
the
richness
of
what
we
already
have
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
there
pretty
quick,
and
I
do
think
the
other
you
know
the
other
plus.
Is
that
we're
already
talking
philly
but
they're
also
expanding
to
pittsburgh,
and
so
we
have
also
been
saying.
F
Can
we
be
part
of
a
network,
because
I
hope
that
that
in
two
to
three
years
we
can
also
be
supporting
to
help
other
folks
other
folks
around
the
state,
because,
quite
frankly,
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
folks
I
grew
up
with
that
now
live
in
brockton
and
randolph
and
new
bedford
fall
river
places.
That
also
need
the
support.
So
I
I
I
think,
if
you
care
about
this
population,
I
I
do
care
about
the
city.
F
This
is
my
home,
but
I
also
know
many
people
who've
been
pushed
out
of
here
already
because
they
can't
afford
it,
and
I
I
do
want
to
ask:
can
what
we
build
here,
extend
and
support
and
follow
the
folks
who
grew
up
here,
their
whole
lives
but
aren't
able
to
remain,
and
so
I
think
that
I
think
there
are
endless
possibilities,
and
I
think
you
know
again
this
team.
This
is
an
all-star
team
of
folks
who
have
relationships,
have
been
doing
the
work.
So
I
think
the
possibilities
are
endless.
F
I
do
think
what
we're
going
to
need
to,
in
the
short
term,
we're
going
to
need
to
figure
out
building
up
this
model.
I
do
think
very
early
on
how
we
convene
people,
how
we
think
about
the
possibilities,
how
we
create
those
linkages,
so
that
they're
they're,
clear
we've
made
agreements
and
that
young
people
can
navigate
them.
We
should
do
the
work
so
that
young
people
can
navigate
these
relatively
quickly,
because
we've
put
all
of
all
of
the
pieces
in
place.
E
Great,
thank
you
so
much,
chief
and
and
I'll
just
amplify
that
I
feel
like
and
dr
falk
and
talia.
If
either
you
want
to
weigh
in
on
this
I
mean,
I
think,
both
of
you
and
your
comments
reflected
the
fact
that
we're
we're
not
lacking
for
young
people
who
want
these
job
opportunities
right
and
I
think
sometimes
it
to
the
chief's
point.
E
A
E
I
don't
know
if
either
of
you
wanted
to
say
anything
else,
because
I
know
soon
we're
going
to
move
the
public
testimony.
So
I
kind
of
I
kind
of
want
to
give
folks
on
the
administration
just
a
chance,
if
there's
anything
any
last
stuff
that
you
wanted
to
get
in
on.
D
Council,
just
briefly,
I
think,
to
to
that
point.
I
think
one
of
the
things
we're
trying
to
move
to
as
a
as
all
of
our
city
departments
is
that
level
of
coordination
of
knowing
where
opportunities
are
not
only
internally,
but
so
we
can
convey
that
externally
to
the
external
partners
that
we
work
with,
and
also
just
just
a
reminder
that
as
a
as
a
city,
we've
we've
done
this
level
of
work
before
two
generations
ago,
but
there
just
wasn't
a
skill
set
or
a
placement
attached
to
it.
D
When
we
had
boston
youth,
cleanup
corp,
that's
really,
we
were
doing
some
level
of
agriculture
and
we
like,
we
were
doing
all
those
things,
but
there
was
no
that
this
could
be
an
opportunity
for
you
as
a
career
moving
forward
so
and
rashad,
and
I
are
like
our
first
jobs-
were,
though,
that
that
was
our
first
experience,
so
there
there's
a
generation
of
young
people.
If
again,
we
don't
want
them
doing
what
we
were
doing
like
cleaning
up
tires
and
things
like
that.
D
But
there
are
skills
that
we
can
innovate
that
we
can
build
in
for
that
school-age
population.
I
think
then
transition
them
to
that
power
court,
but
I
was
a
red
shirt
and
I'm
pretty
sure,
if
you,
if
you
poll
a
lot
of
people,
they
could
say
that
their
first
experience
working
for
the
city
and
working
outside
was
that
registered
experience
and
how
I
wish
I
could
still
find
my
red
shirt.
D
So
there
was
sort
of
some
camaraderie
built
around
that,
so
we
can
even
innovate
that
process
for
this
next
generation
to
give
them
just
a
skill
set
that
could
then
be
a
career
path.
I
think
that
can
be
an
easy
win,
not
an
easy
win
but
easier,
easier
win
for
us
as
well,
because
we
already
have
some
level
of
experience
doing
so.
F
Shout
out
to
the
red
shirts-
and
you
know
dr
fox,
the
bycc
boston,
youth
cleanup
court
is
still
the
sign,
for
it
is
still
on
the
building
that
the
the
tree
division
sits
in.
So
I
went
over
to
hang
out
with
them
and
drop
off
some
cookies,
and
I
saw
all
the
stuff
from
when
it
was.
Bycc
is
still
there.
So.
E
Great,
thank
you.
Does
anyone
else
in
the
administration.
Anyone
want
to
say
anything
before.
Otherwise,
I
think
and
sorry
I
should
check.
Actually
I
think
councilor
braden
and
counselor
flynn
are
both
fine,
so
I'll
go
I'll,
be
going
public
testimony
next,
so
just
want
to
give
anybody
from
the
panel
a
chance
to
say
any
closing
words.
E
All
good
all
right
great
well,
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
all
the
folks
in
administration
for
making
two
hours
of
your
time
today,
really
appreciate
it,
and
even
many
many
many
more
hours
than
actually
working
on
this
and
and
I
I'm
excited
about
the
way
it's
coming
together
and
I
know
I
know,
there's
some
really
important.
E
Next
steps,
obviously
hiring
an
executive
director
who,
like
remember
mariama,
said,
can
really
own
this
100
of
the
time
I
mean
it
does
seem
to
me
like
the
hub
and
spokes
model
is
how
we're
going
to
get
a
lot
of
people
in
the
job,
but
the
hub's
got
to
be
really
strong.
Right,
like
it's
got
to
be,
there's
got
to
be
a
real,
clear
sense
of
purpose
and
alignment
there
and
so
yeah.
E
It's
that's
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
all
need
to
put
our
feelers
out
to
figure
out
who
should
be
applying
for
that
executive
director
job
and,
if
you're,
watching
this
at
home-
and
you
know
somebody
encourage
them
to
apply
all
right.
I
am
going
to
go
now
to
public
testimony.
Thanks
again,
I
will
go
first
to
let's
see
I
gotta
pull
up.
My
list
here
first
to
david
clele
from
the
codman
square
at
ndc.
M
Okay
technology
works
once
in
a
while.
For
me,
I'm
dave
quigley,
I'm
the
director
of
eco
innovation
at
common
square
in
dc,
and
want
to
thank
the
council
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
M
As
chief
white
hammond
intimated
and
audrey
lord
said,
there
is
no
such
thing
as
a
single
issue
struggle.
So
it's
clear
that
all
these
ideas
you've
been
talking
about
today
connect
it's
also
clear
that
there's
a
need
to
start
and
scale
up
this
program
through
consistent
and
increasing
funding.
M
Members
of
commons
grand
dc's
people
of
color
climate
justice
group,
a
group
of
local
activists-
that's
been
meeting
for
almost
two
years
to
identify
climate
and
environmental
issues
of
concern
to
dorchester
residents,
have
surfaced
the
following
key
priorities:
clean
air,
energy,
efficient
and
affordable
homes,
access
to
green
jobs
and
training
better,
connecting
young
people
at
madison
park,
high
school
to
paid,
learn
and
earn
opportunities,
increase
connection
between
bcc
and
an
expanded
green
curriculum
in
schools.
M
M
E
E
All
right
next
up
is
kendra,
beaver
and
kendra.
I
don't
see
pat
alvarez,
so
I
think
you
maybe
might
be
reading
her
testimony.
Please
do
go
ahead
if
so,
and
then
it'll
be
julia
from
the
enc
and
then
liz
visa
from
the
friends
of
public
art
next
so,
but
you
have
the
floor.
N
Great
thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
I'm
going
to
have
some
brief
additional
comments
to
emphasize
what
david
said
and
then
I
will
read
past
testimony
on
her
behalf.
So
hello,
everyone,
my
name,
is
kendra
beaver,
I'm
the
climate
justice
coordinator
for
the
fairmount
indigo,
cdc
collaborative,
which
is
an
umbrella
organization,
holding
codman
square
ndc,
dorchester
bay,
edc
and
southwest
boston
cdc.
N
For
my
personal
testimony,
I
would
like
to
say
that
boston
conservation
corps
opportunities
to
train
young
people
and
next
generation
green
infrastructure
skills
should
include
ample
programs
for
jobs
that
don't
require
four-year
degrees.
The
core
training
should
also
facilitate
job
pipelines
stemming
from
connections
to
boston,
public
schools
and
especially
madison
park
high
school,
complemented
by
an
expanded
and
practical
skill,
building
green
curriculum
throughout
all
levels
of
bps,
and
that
the
training
and
application
of
skills
should
then
be
applied
to
improve
bps
buildings
and
community
owned
or
managed
open
spaces.
N
Thank
you
and
on
behalf
of
pat
alvarez,
who
is
the
assistant
director.
Excuse
me
of
the
southwest
boston
cdc.
This
is
her
testimony
for
the
past.
13
years,
the
southwest
boston
cdc
has
operated
the
green
team,
youth
jobs
and
environmental
stewardship
program,
which
is
essentially
a
youth
green
conservation
corps
that
includes
environmental
education,
urban,
wild
restoration
work,
job
readiness
and
life
skills
training.
Having
run
our
program
for
13
years,
we
have
deep
experience
and
deep
roots
in
the
community.
N
We
hope
that
the
city's
green,
the
city's
new
green
core
program,
will
continue
to
contract
with
experienced
community-based
organizations
like
ourselves
through
the
dyee
or
another
department.
So
we
can
continue
to
employ
youth
ages,
15
to
18
and
well-rounded
program
that
prepares
youth
for
success
in
the
green
industries
or
any
career
path
they
want
to
pursue.
N
We
would
also
like
additional
funding
that
would
allow
us
to
expand
our
program
to
employ
a
great
number
of
teens
and
or
older
youth
ages,
18
18-24
as
a
snapshot
of
what
the
green
team
program
does.
Youth
participate
in
a
number
of
activities,
including
clean
urban,
wild
entrances
and
perimeters,
removing
trash
and
construction
debris
identifying
a
properly
removing
invasive
species,
planting
and
caring
for
native
species,
pruning
trees,
creating
and
restoring
walking
trails
and
creating
soils
for
water,
runoff
and
educating
residents
about
proper
use
and
care
for
woods.
N
Some
things
that
the
youth
learn
include
proper
use
of
landscaping
tools,
the
causes
and
impacts
of
climate
change
and
the
role
that
conservation
land
plays
in
mitigating
the
effects
of
climate
change.
For
young
people
to
want
to
save
our
environment,
they
must
love
it
and
to
love
it.
They
must
experience
it.
So.
The
opportunity
for
youth
to
learn
about
and
care
for,
woodlands
is
critical
and,
additionally,
you've
learned
how
to
succeed
at
work
and
in
life
through
skill
building
trainings
for
more
general
career
skills.
N
N
At
least
one
experienced
skilled
crew
leader
is
required
for
every
four
to
five
youth.
We
have
and
crew
leaders
train,
supervise
and
work
alongside
these
daily.
They
address
behavior
issues
and
personal
issues
affecting
youth
performance
and
team
dynamics,
and
that
college
interns
are
not
a
substitute
for
experienced
staff.
N
Thank
you
for
your
time.
That
was
both
my
and
pat's
testimony.
You
are
welcome
to
visit
the
green
team
working
this
coming
summer.
Thank
you.
E
Great,
thank
you
so
much
kendra
for
both
testimonies
next
up,
we've
got
julia
and
then
it
will
be
les
visa
and
then
david
michelle
from
speak
to
the
trees
and
then
when
constantini,
juliet
you
have
the
floor.
O
Hi
first,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
share
public
comment
today.
My
name
is
julia
and
I'm
the
policy
coordinator
for
the
emerald
necklace
conservancy
we'd
like
to
thank
councilor
bach
and
chief
white
hammond
for
their
continued
leadership
and
consideration
of
the
youth
and
our
environment.
O
The
conservancy
is
supportive
of
the
four
million
dollars
being
allocated
in
this
year's
budget
for
the
youth
green
jobs
training
program
annually.
The
emerald
necklace
conservancy
employs
dozens
of
youth
through
our
youth
education
programs.
Since
the
program's
launched
in
2008,
we've
engaged
over
400
youth
in
arbor
culture,
horticulture
and
ecological
restoration
opportunities
such
as
our
programming,
have
inspired
our
youth
and
helped
kick-start
their
environmental
careers.
While
we
understand
that
the
program
is
in
its
beginning,
phases
of
planning.
E
Once
I
think
we
just
somehow
lost
julia
over
one
second
hi,
sorry,
we
we
got
you
kick
somehow.
You
got
kicked
out
for
a
second
there.
So
can
you
go
back
to
the
beginning
of
a
sentence?
While
we
understand.
O
Yes,
while
we
understand
the
program
is
in
its
beginning
phases
of
planning,
we
urge
you
to
include
diverse
environmental
jobs
and
opportunities.
Green
jobs
are
much
more
than
landscaping.
Green
jobs
are
also
present
in
geographic
information
systems.
Urban
planning,
research
preservation
and
advocacy,
increasing
understanding,
city-wide
of
what
a
green
job
is,
and
the
effort
and
expertise
that
they
require
will
help
ensure
equitable
opportunities
for
our
youth
that
act
as
a
pipeline
pipeline
for
long
term
and
good
paying
green
jobs
across
the
city.
Again.
E
Great,
thank
you
so
much
julia
and
again
thanks.
So
much
for
all
of
the
emerald
necklace
concerns.
He
does.
Thank
you
next
up,
debbie
from
speak
for
the
trees.
Q
Thank
you
david
well
good
afternoon.
I
am
here
as
an
ally
preaching
to
the
choir.
Clearly
my
name
is
liz
bees
and
I'm
president
and
friends
of
the
public
garden.
We
have
worked
with
the
city
for
51
years
to
renew
care
and
advocate
for
our
major
boston
parks,
downtown
the
boston,
common,
the
public
garden
and
commonwealth
avenue
mall,
where
70
million
people
come
to
love
these
spaces
and
realize
how
important
they
are
in
their
lives.
Q
It
was
exciting
to
have
you
a
counselor
presented
our
forum,
boston
park,
advocates
forum
last
january
on
green
infrastructure
and
how
to
be
resilient
climate
resilient
block
by
block,
and
you
and
you
presented
this
idea,
and
here
we
are
less
than
a
year
later
and
and
you're
ready
to
implement
it.
So
congratulations
on
your
success
for
this
and
for
all
of
our
sakes
for
decades.
I
have
witnessed
how
workforce
opportunities
are
traditionally
underrepresented
in
the
fields
of
green
space
management
and
maintenance
and
landscape
design.
Q
It
is
a
way
to
raise
awareness
about
the
many
opportunities
in
green
careers
and
why
these
jobs
have
traditionally
been
underrepresented
and
also
why
they're
more
important
than
ever
engaging
our
youth
in
developing
these
skill
sets
in
order
to
be
part
of
the
future
health
of
their
community
is
a
wonderful
endeavor
and
we
support
you
in
doing
all
we
can
to
help
make
this
happen
right
now.
Q
This
exciting
initiative
is
not
just
about
access
to
green
jobs,
but
the
prospect
of
a
greener
economy
and,
ultimately,
a
more
and
better
sustainable,
more
equitable
future.
The
conservation
corps
would
build
that
green
jobs
pipeline
for
boston,
providing
training
that
could
inspire
future
careers
and
not
only
is
arborists
and
yes
to
more
city
arborists.
I
completely
support
what
you
have
said
is
so
critically
needed,
but
also,
as
julia
mentioned,
urban
planners
landscape
designers
and
gardeners
and
engineers
are
so
many
equity
focused
opportunities
that
we
can
open
up
here.
Q
We
have
city
parks
that
are
in
great
need
of
more
regular
maintenance
that
they
cur
than
they
currently
receive,
and
the
many
that
don't
have
friends
groups
like
the
friends
who
can
commit
to
caring
for
the
trees
that
are
so
important
to
our
to
our
life,
but
we
also
have
a
whole
category
of
green
space
in
the
city
of
boston.
That
gets
no
maintenance,
our
urban
wilds,
and
this
could
be
the
perfect
training
ground
for
this
effort
or
one
of
them.
Q
E
Thanks
so
much
yeah
and
thanks
again
for
all
the
friends
too,
I'm
a
daily
appreciator
of
it
all
right
now,
it's
david
then
win
constantini
and
then
it'll
be
trina
mike
martin.
Just
so
you
know
that
I
see
you
and
you
are
coming
up
in
the
queue
so
david
now
you
have
four.
P
Thank
you
and
a
pleasure
to
be
here
today
and
thank
you
for
inviting
us
today
to
give
testimony
about
this
conservation
corps.
P
My
name
is
david
meshulam,
I'm
executive,
director
of
speak
for
the
trees
boston
joined
today
to
my
right
by
eva
paradiso,
our
new
education
coordinator
and
also
the
program
director
for
our
teen
urban
tree
corps
program
this
summer
speak
for
the
trees
is
an
urban
and
community
forestry
non-profit
here
in
boston,
and
we
are
really
really
excited
for
the
opportunity
to
be
part
of
this
effort,
spearheaded
by
you,
counselor
bach
and
the
administration,
and
to
bring
the
youth
conservation
corps
program
to
boston
and
we're
excited
to
share
with
you
today.
P
A
bit
about
us
for
those
of
you,
I
don't
know
we
are
an
organization
focused
on
what
we
call
tree
equity.
So
we
bring
tree
equity
to
boston
by
celebrating,
preserving
and
planting
trees
in
the
city
and
since
2018
we
have
been
engaging
boston
residents.
P
Through
such
events,
we
have
one
on
sunday,
our
last
sorry
saturday,
our
last
tree
planting
event.
I
invite
you
all
to
come.
It's
at
the
fairview
cemetery
in
hyde
park,
so
we
do
tree
plantings,
free
giveaways.
We
do
community
engagement
and
education
and
we're
here
today
to
share
with
you
a
bit
about
our
teen
urban
street
four
program.
The
teen
urban
street
core
program
is
a
six
week
paid
summer
program
for
boston.
P
Youth
participants
spend
25
hours
a
week,
learning
about
the
importance
of
trees,
getting
to
know
their
neighborhood
forests
and
advocating
for
the
community's
health
and
well-being.
The
program
exposes
teens
to
variety
of
urban
forestry
related
careers
and
engages
them
in
environmental
justice,
advocacy
work
within
their
own
neighborhoods
as
a
culmination
of
their
experience.
The
teams
this
year
work
in
small
groups
and
they've
created
tree
planting
and
maintenance
proposals
for
their
communities
incorporating
best
practices.
P
They
learn
throughout
the
summer,
and
I'm
super
excited
that
this
year,
we're
actually
able
to
support,
with
with
dyee
support
five
teams
to
continue
this
work
and
actually
implement
these
programs
in
their
communities.
We
see
this
opportunity
of
the
city
level
conservation
corps
as
a
next
step
to
building
the
workforce.
The
city
needs
to
grow
our
urban
canopy
and
increase
green
infrastructure
to
create
a
more
resilient
boston.
We
have
started
to
create
this
and
are
excited
to
see
it
grow.
R
So
this
past
summer,
with
the
generous
support
from
boston's
department
of
youth
engagement
and
employment
and
john
hancock's
mlk
program,
we
hired
a
racially
economically
and
geographically
diverse
group
of
15
boston
teens,
who
spent
six
weeks
learning
about
urban
forestry,
tree
equity
and
tree
care
from
professionals
in
the
field
of
urban
forestry.
R
They
also
worked
with
tree
warden
max
ford
diamond
learning,
proper
pruning
techniques
which
they
used
to
remove
invasive
species
in
franklin
park.
Although
the
teens
are
not
able
to
join
us
today,
we
would
like
to
read
to
you
some
testimony
from
them
about
their
experience
in
the
teen
retreat
corps
program.
R
When
asked
how
they
benefited
from
the
program
responses
included,
I
learned
about
the
heat
island
effect,
climate
justice,
redlining
tree
id
and
soil
compaction
from
the
teen
urban
tree
corps
program.
The
program
changed
my
perspective,
my
perception
of
climate
change
as
something
that
will
affect
certain
people
more
than
others,
and
changed
my
perception
of
how
to
stop
it.
I
benefited
benefited
from
the
tutor
retreat
program
by
getting
a
better
understanding
of
how
to
properly
take
care
of
trees.
R
I
learned
learned
a
little
bit
more
about
what
I'm
interested
in
and
enjoyed
doing
teen
urban
tree
corps.
Participants
were
also
asked
how
they
thought
boston
would
benefit
from
the
teen
urban
tree
corps
program,
and
they
said.
I
believe
that
by
having
more
people,
learn
and
advocate
for
trees,
there
will
be
more
healthy.
Trees
in
boston.
R
P
So
I
know
counselor
block
you
had
invited
the
teens
to
testify.
Unfortunately,
it's
a
school
day
and
we
didn't
want
to
pull
them
away
from
their
studies,
but
we
hope
that
in
the
future
they
can
join
us
and
we
invite
you
to
meet
them
and
they'll
be
joining
us
in
a
couple
of
weeks
in
the
fall
program
and
then
again
next
summer,
so
just
to
wrap
up
our
program
provides
an
opportunity
for
boston
youth
to
learn
about
urban
forestry
topics
which
are
not
commonly
covered
in
school
curriculum.
P
The
program
literally
and
figuratively
plants
a
seed
in
these
youth
about
potential
careers
in
forestry.
So
as
the
city
works
on
developing
and
implementing
its
urban
farce
plan,
which
I
think
was
mentioned
today-
includes
a
workforce
development
component.
Job
opportunities
in
urban
farce
will
only
increase
both
in
the
municipality,
but
also
we
know
in
the
private
sector.
Creating
an
ecosystem
of
education,
training
and
opportunities
will
provide
a
strong
next
step
to
train
and
employ
boston
residents
to
care
for
our
trees.
E
Great,
thank
you
so
much
to
you
both
and
yeah.
It
was
great
to
meet
the
teens
over
the
summer,
really
appreciated
that
next
up
we're
going
to
win
constantini,
who
actually
has
done
extensive
study
of
green
jobs,
conservation
core,
like
programs
and
was
a
participant
in
our
working
session
on
this
topic
back
in
march.
So
when
you
have
a
floor.
L
Great
thanks,
I
actually
have
some
slides
to
share
just
kind
of
let's
go
ahead.
Okay,
so
good
afternoon
everybody,
my
name
is
gwen
costantini
and
I
recently
received
my
master's
degree
in
city
planning
from
mit
and,
as
councilor
bach
said,
my
master's
thesis
analyzed
boston's
opportunity
to
integrate
climate
change,
economic
inequity
and
racial
injustice
through
the
creation
of
a
green
job
program
which,
in
my
work,
I
titled
the
boston
future
corps.
L
So
I
conducted
46
interviews
from
november
2020
through
march
2021
with
stakeholders,
including
workforce
development,
environmental
community
and
labor
organizations,
as
well
as
cores
and
pure
cities
like
powercore,
participated
in
two
city
council
meetings
and
held
a
focus
group
as
well,
and
so
my
work
sought
to
understand
the
existing
green
workforce
development
ecosystem
in
boston,
and
I
created
a
visual
representation
pictured
here,
which
serves
four
purposes.
L
In
an
effort
for
this
new
program
to
strengthen,
rather
than
duplicate
existing
programs,
so
in
order
to
actually
be
able
to
like
read
this
diagram,
it's
also
broken
down
into
smaller
visualizations
and
sector
specific
maps,
including
maps
of
existing
and
potential
career
pathways.
So
this
is
just
one
example
of
the
potential
urban
forestry
career
pathway
in
boston,
as
well
as
outside
of
the
sort
of
sector-specific
ecosystem.
L
And
it
is
my
sincere
hope
that
the
tools
I've
described
can
be
of
use
to
these
decision
makers.
For
this
program
and
to
ensure
that
it
is
as
impactful
as
possible
for
both
participants
and
the
city
and
the
environment,
and
this
work
has
also
inspired
an
interest
at
mit
to
build
on
these
recommendations
and
partner
with
stakeholders
in
boston
to
support
a
transformational
program
and
my
colleague,
lisbet
shepard,
has
provided
written
testimony
as
well.
That
describes
this
potential
partnership
further
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
this
is
my
contact
information
thanks.
E
Great,
thank
you
so
much
when
the
I
think
that
I
mean
you
shared
a
version
of
that
diagram
at
the
hearing
in
march,
and
I
think
it
it
illustrates
the
opportunity
and
challenge
we
have
here,
which
is
the
vast
number
of
resources
and
then
the
complexity
of
sort
of
pulling
them
together
into
a
coordinated
program
that
gives
our
young
people
a
real,
like
one-stop
shop
way
into
these
jobs.
So,
like
I
said,
huffman
spokes,
but
we
need
a
strong
hub
and
that's
that's.
I
think,
we're
where
we've
got
to
go
from
here.
E
So
thank
you.
Next
up
is
trina
and
then
it
will
be
so
tran,
marie
ruffin
and
then
it'll
be
mike
ritter
and
then
martin
ritter,
katrina,.
S
S
Who's
acting
here
who
are
bringing
opportunities,
resources,
but
also
solutions
to
what
boston
is
doing.
Dealing
with
when
it's
coming
to
going
green.
We
have
already
had
a
background
with
green,
and
I
just
asked
that
we
continue
what
we've
already
started,
which
was
to
involve
the
community,
mainly
the
youth
and
the
young
adults.
S
I
wanted
to
talk
real
quick
about
with
what
what
was
said
about
re-entry.
I'm
sorry.
We
said
about
youth
and
education
and
starting
with
inside
the
institution,
I
had
opportunity
to
work
with
dys
helping
inmates
start
entrepreneurship,
and
it
worked
so
I'm
here
to
say
that
we
can
start
green
with
inside
the
institution
at
the
dys
level
at
least.
I
think
it
will
prepare
them.
It
will
cut
down
numbers
with
reset
recidivism
re-entry.
S
It
also
gives
them
a
sense
of
problem
ones
that
do
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
program,
because
we
are
working
with
two
different
demographical
people
right.
We
have
the
youth
and
the
young
adults
who
want
to
take
part
and
we're
going
to
have
some
that's
not
going
to
show
great
interest
until
they
see
what
kind
of
outcome
that
can
benefit
them.
S
And
what
I
was
thinking
is,
you
know
you
guys
came
together
with
all
these
great
opportunities
and
great
programs,
common
square
cdc,
the
green
infrastructure,
all
these
great
programs,
and
so
I
asked
that
the
programs
we
have
into
place
now,
speaking
as
a
resident
and
as
a
parent
can
we
allocate
money
to
them
now
and
get
them
going
and
keep
them
going
as
we
work
on
solutions
to
bring
other
infrastructures
and
other
partners
and
to
help
the
infrastructure
going
green,
I'm
just
proud
and
happy
that
we
are
continuing
green
because
we
always
been
a
part
of
green.
S
I
just
want
to
say
thank
everyone
for
being
here
and
sharing
your
ideas
and
your
programs
and
your
services,
and
that
we
should
all
cross
connect
and
piggy
bank
off
each
other,
because
you
all
have
amazing
ways
of
how
to
reach
amazing
ways
of
how
to
give
services
to
the
public,
mainly
the
youth
and
young
adults.
S
It
seems
like
we
have
some
problems
with
how
to
keep
them
engaged,
but
also
what
to
supply
them
after
they've
taken
the
trainings
that
will
show
sustainability
as
far
as
their
economy
and
what
their
income
and
how
to
help
the
economy.
And
what
I
say
is
that
work
on
the
children
we
have
now
the
young
adults.
S
We
have
now
released
the
money
to
help
the
programs
that
are
into
place
now,
who
are
doing
20,
kids,
100,
kids
or
50
kids,
because
that
means
something
and
it
does
build
up
as
time
go
along
and
the
ones
that
are
not
on
board.
We're,
hoping
because
a
lot
of
people
look
at
green
as
just
a
figure
of
speech.
S
But
today
it
is
becoming
a
real
known
movement
and
a
lot
of
young
people
are
interested.
And
I
say
down
the
line:
I'm
working
to
do
a
green
curriculum
with
the
boston
public
schools.
I
want
to
have
greens
start
at
a
very
young
age
to
introduce
them,
so
it's
just
something
normal
as
getting
up
looking
at
the
sun
or
looking
at
the
rain.
I
want
it
to
be
normal
and-
and
I
think
you
guys
are
going
in
the
right
direction
by
coming
together.
I
say
my
last
thing
is
the
public
schools.
S
Some
schools
does
this,
where
they
have
a
agreement
between
the
school,
the
company
and
the
state
and
saying
that
we
get
together
and
that
we're
going
to
all
work
together
to
make,
which
is
one
which
is
one
objective,
is
to
make
sure
that
the
future
youth
and
young
adults
are
part
of
green
and
that
they
don't
miss
out,
and
I
just
want
to
stop
just
end
this
by
saying
we
are,
we
learn
we
build
and
we
teach
that's
our
job
and
everyone
here
is
doing
your
job
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
speaking
as
a
resident
and
it's
truly
needed
and
thank
you
again.
E
Thank
you
so
much
trina.
We
really
appreciate
your
testimony.
Next
up,
we've
got
mike
ritter
and
then
martin
mike.
T
Hello
hi
hi,
thank
you
for
having
me
and
thank
you
for
this
wonderful
idea
and
it's
nice
to
see
it
moving
quickly.
I'm
mike
ritter,
I'm
a
bps
parent,
my
daughters
go
to
the
league
academy
pilot
school
and,
among
the
many
great
possible
applications
of
a
bccc
I'd
like
to
put
forward
the
hvacs
in
boston,
public
schools.
It's
estimated
that
80
of
buildings
in
boston
will
need
to
undergo
deep
energy
retrofits
and
be
electrified
by
2050.
T
T
Replacing
one
boiler
for
another
shouldn't
be
happening
anymore,
but
that
is
what
was
discussed
for
two
schools
at
a
school
committee
meeting
just
two
weeks
ago,
and
it's
noted
in
this
hearing
order
that
the
city
of
boston
should
lead
by
example
by
retrofitting
existing
municipal
buildings.
T
However,
in
the
half
year
I've
been
advocating
for
hvacs
in
all
bps
schools.
I've
only
seen
meaningful,
but
painfully
slow,
incremental
work
being
done
to
address
bps
facilities.
The
minute
bps
hvac
work
is
done.
It
will
pay
us
back
with
healthier
kids
and
staff,
better
learning
environments,
cleaner
air
inside
and
outside
schools
and
buildings
that
actually
could
be
effective
summer
learning
locations
and
or
community
cooling
stations,
and,
furthermore,
pairing
hvac
with
solar
panels
would
free
up
significant
amount
of
gas
money
spent
on
heat
in
most
schools
to
go
towards
education.
T
Once
the
systems
are
paid
off,
boston
has
the
resources,
bps
has
the
need
and
the
technology
exists.
The
big
question
is:
who
will
be
doing
the
deep
energy
retrofits
and
the
idea
of
hvacs
in
bps
schools
being
installed
at
least
partly
by
bcc,
is
really
exciting.
Doubly
exciting
boston
residents
and
quality
jobs
provide
fossil
free
fuel,
fossil
fuel,
free
heating,
cooling
and
ventilation
in
boston
schools
to
boston's
more
than
deserving
children.
E
Thank
you
so
much
mike,
really
appreciate
that
testimony
and
agree,
that's
the
kind
of
synergy
that
we're
looking
for,
and
it
was
noted
in
my
original
hearing
order
on
this
that
you
know.
I
think
we
have
capacity
to
grow
the
amount
of
our
capital
budget
in
the
city
that
we're
spending
on
on
green
projects
for
at
large,
right,
including
you
know,
in
our
public
buildings
and
and
we
want
that
work
to
be
done
by
our
by
our
young
people.
So
thank
you
so
much.
Martin.
U
Thank
you,
council
block
and
welcome
to
your
new
term
in
the
city
council,
I'm
speaking
on
this
occasion,
really
as
a
grandfather
of
eight
grandchildren
who's
concerned
about
the
future
society
and
economy
which
they
will
experience
for
a
lot
longer
than
I,
and
in
that
context
they
have
a
a
few
questions,
observations
and
a
few
questions,
and
the
first
is-
and
I
think
chief
white
hammond
referred
to
this
talking
about
the
question
of
the
basic
skills
that
people
coming
into
these
kind
of
programs
may
or
may
not
have,
and
she
mentioned
reading.
U
I
would
like
to
draw
attention
to
numeracy
where,
unfortunately,
americans-
actually
not
just
young
people
but
adults
generally
score
relatively
low
compared
to
other
countries
and
yet
being
able
to
be
comfortable
working
with
numbers,
is
essential
to
a
wide
variety
of
jobs.
So
I
hope
that
that
is
taken
care
of
in
these
kinds
of
programs
or,
as
chief
white
hammond
pointed
out,
you
may
get
to
the
point
where
somebody
is
lacking,
something
which,
without
which
they'll
be
unable
to
to
do
the
job
that
they're
trying
to
get.
U
U
What
about
training
people
to
do
the
very
different
kinds
of
things
that
will
be
necessary
with
electric
vehicles
and
then
there
are
clearly
a
lot
of
jobs
that
are
going
to
be
lost
with
people
who
understand
how
to
work
with
things
like
you
know,
combustion
engines
and
those
kind
of
drive
trains
that
are
needed
for
them,
and
it'll
be
much
more
software
oriented
when
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
handle
batteries.
U
In
that.
In
that
context,
I'm
wondering
the
extent
to
which
this
program
is
going
to
be
working
with
major
companies
whose
names
I
haven't
heard
so
far
in
the
presentation,
such
as
general,
electric
or
the
john
hancock
company,
or
even
actually
the
very
major
automobile
dealers,
such
as
herb
chambers,
who
may
be
interested
in
contributing
to
the
kind
of
training
that
is
needed,
I'm
thinking
of
the
kind
of
apprenticeship
programs
that
have
been
installed
for
a
long
time
in
in
germany.
U
Now
on
the
positive
side.
In
conclusion,
I'd
say
that
I
find
this
initiative
extremely
inspiring
and
if
it
works
well,
it
could
be
a
definitive
example
of
what
government
can
and
will
do
for
the
sake
of
all
of
us
as
a
whole
and
also
indeed
help
work
cooperate
with
the
private
sector,
which
seems
to
be
a
sense
that
has
been
increasingly
lost
in
the
united
states.
The
idea
that
there
is
a
common
good
and
the
common
good
in
order
to
be
achieved
requires
both
the
public
sector
and
the
private
sector
working
together.
U
E
Thank
you
so
much
martin,
and
definitely
I
know
in
the
industry
academy
that
there's
several
of
the
industry
academies
in
philadelphia.
They
have
the
one
in
solar
works
directly
with
solar
employers,
some
of
the
larger
solar
employers
and
and
the
masonry
one.
I
think
also
works
directly
with
a
masonry
employer
and
actually
funnels
into
into
roles.
F
Yeah,
I
know
I
think
we
want
to
look
at
it.
There's
there's
some
sectors
in
which
there's
we
we
are
starting
from
the
public
sector,
because
some
of
the
barriers
that
we
can
actively
push
in
the
public
sector
are
harder
to
get
moved
in
the
private
sector.
And
so
I
I
want
to
be
honest
that
I
I
hope
that
we
can
move
people
into
public
sector
jobs
and
then
we
start
losing
them
in
the
private
sector.
F
But
in
some
instances
like
when
we
had
an
honest
conversation
with
philly,
powercore
they've
had
a
real
hard
time
getting
the
big
tree
companies
to
take
on
their
young
people,
and
so
I
think
my
hope
is
that
our
on-ramp
to
that
is
a
couple.
Two
three
years
at
a
a
at
the
boston
parks
department,
gives
you
the
the
necessary
experience
and
and
support
necessary,
and
then
maybe
people
do
want
to
move
to
a
private
sector
job.
F
So
yes,
in
in
sectors
where
there's
a
willing
partner,
we
will
definitely
go
there
and
solar
has
been
won.
Trees
have
had
some
challenges
so
we'll
have
to
we'll
have
to
think
where,
where
where
there
are
ready
partnerships
and
where
we
need
to
push
the
envelope.
But
but
we
completely
agree,
it
should
not
only
be
in
the
privates
in
the
public
sector,
especially
when
so
many
groups
were
making
public
pronouncements
about
their
commitment
to
diversity.
E
Great,
thank
you
so
much
chief
and
I
think
that
that
is
all
the
public
testimony
that
I've
got
today.
So
thank
you
to
everybody
who
came
and
testified.
Thank
you
so
much
to
the
members
of
the
administration
again
for
all
your
work
on
this
and
also
for
staying
to
hear
all
the
public
testimony.
I
really
appreciate
it
and
looking
forward
to
continuing
lots
of
work
ahead
on
this,
so
with
that
this
hearing
of
the
boston
city
council's
committee
on
the
environment
is
adjourned.
Thank
you.
All.
