A
We
this
morning
we
are
joined
by
eduardo
franco
and
rashad
cope
and
tierra
lyons
good
morning.
Everyone!
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us.
Just
put
you
all
on
view.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
We
we,
I
just
wanted
to
have
a
hearing
good
and
we're
also
joined
now
by
counselor
and
mr
sabi
george.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
this
morning,
nice
early
start.
We
wanted
to
just
talk
with
you
about
how
the
program
went
this
summer
and
see
if
we
can
hear
how
it
went,
what
the
challenges
were
and
what
was
successful
and
what
could
be
improved.
And
so
who
would
like
to
start.
C
Yes,
good
morning,
council,
breeding
and
fellow
city
councilors,
so
I'm
joined
today,
as
mentioned
by
eduardo
franco,
eduardo
manages
our
programs
and
partnerships
here
with
the
department
of
youth,
engagement,
employment
and
eduardo's.
Primary
responsibility
is
overseeing
this
particular
youth
works,
funding
and
implement
in
program
implementation.
C
So
that's
why
eddie
is
here
today
with
us
and
tierra
lyons
tear
is
our
manager
of
youth,
employment
program,
youth,
employment,
development
and
people
and
tierra's
primary
responsibility.
This
summer
is
managing
and
overseeing
our
success
link
summer
employment
program.
C
So
it's
for
the
purpose
of
this
conversation
today.
It's
helpful
to
understand
that
the
success
link
program
is
the
larger
umbrella
of
our
city
of
boston,
funded
youth
jobs
program
and
the
youth
works.
Funding
is
a
component
of
the
success
link
program
that
allows
for
the
city
of
boston
and
other
other
summer
job
providers
to
provide
targeted
summer
jobs,
programming
to
proven
risk
and
at-risk
populations.
C
So
we
as
the
department
of
youth
engagement,
employment,
utilize
this
funding
this
summer
to
employ
nearly
343
young
people
that
self-identified
as
proven
risk
young
people.
So
that
context
is
helpful
to
understand
as
we're
having
this
conversation
today,
I
would
just
start
off
and
then
I
can,
you
know
just
give
a
quick
overview
about
youth
works.
I
will
start
off
by
saying
that
you
know
summer.
C
Jobs
is
certainly
a
collective
effort,
and
this
summer
certainly
was
that,
given
the
pandemic,
there
were
incredible
partnerships
across
the
board,
with
our
office,
hhs
and
chief
martinez,
the
office
of
economic
development
with
chief
john
barrows
and
midori
the
office
of
workforce
development
with
tren
and
her
team,
and
then
also
our
fellow
summer,
job
providers
with
boston,
private
industry,
council,
abcd,
mlk
scholars
and
youth
options,
unlimited,
which
falls
under
the
office
of
workforce
development.
C
All
of
these
folks
came
together
to
strategize
around
a
collective
and
impactful
approach
to
ensure
that
boston
provided
summer
job
opportunities
to
its
young
people
during
this
pandemic,
and
you
know
I
I
think
I
the
from
the
onslaught
of
covet
19.
It
was
imperative
to
find
a
way
to
engage
young
people,
and
not
all
of
us
knew
how
that
was
going
to
happen.
C
C
The
funding
again
is
really
designed
to
to
provide
low-income,
teens
and
young
adults
between
the
ages
of
14
to
21
years
of
age,
with
their
first
employment
experience,
work,
readiness,
training
and
the
skills
to
find
and
keep
an
unsubsidized
job
within
the
city
of
boston.
On
this
funding
is
administered
all
across
the
state
here
in
the
city
of
boston,
the
office
of
workforce
development.
C
They
are
considered
the
fiscal
sponsor
of
these
funds,
so
the
funding
from
the
state
goes
to
the
office
of
workforce
development
and
then
the
office
of
workforce
development
administers
this.
Youth
works
funding
in
the
form
of
a
grant
across
four
summer.
Job
intermediaries,
so
we
receive
funding,
as
mentioned
abcd
does
pick
does,
and
so
does.
C
Youth
options
unlimited
and
the
eligibility
requirement
for
this
funding
it
serves
just
vulnerable
use,
so
20
of
the
population
of
the
participants
are
considered
to
be,
or
must
be,
are
required
to
be
vulnerable
you.
So
these
are
court
involved.
Youth,
duis,
committed
youth,
juvenile
probation,
gang
involved,
youth,
I'm
homeless
or
being
a
runaway
foster
care
youth.
Those
who
are
close
to
aging
out
of
foster
care
so
and
then
the
other
eighty
percent
can
be
risk
buried
youth.
C
So
those
are
youth
who
self-identify
as
receiving
poor
academic
grades,
a
poor
performance
in
school
being
a
school
being
a
school
dropout,
high
school
dropout
being
the
child
of
a
single
parent
having
a
disability
or
special
need
lack
of
fluency
in
english
or
being
from
being
from
a
foreign,
immigrant
or
being
a
teen
parent.
So
those
are
the
requirements
that
make
up
those
the
eligibility
for
young
people
to
be
considered.
C
Participants
of
this
program
and
the
way
that
we
implemented
this
program
this
summer
commonwealth
corporation,
had
a
three-tiered
model,
so
their
first
tier
model
was
starting
off
strong
and
then
their
second
tier
model
was
building
a
professional
self
and
their
third
tier
model
was
crafted
career
path.
So
the
first
tiered
model
starting
off
strong,
was
service
and
project-based
learning
for
14
and
15
year
olds.
C
So
we
did
not
participate
in
that
tier
on
the
second
tier
building.
A
professional
self
was
based
on
early
and
career
trajectory,
employment
for
16
to
21
year
olds,
and
because
our
successing
program
is
15
to
18,
we
did
participate
in
the
second
tier
of
building
a
professional
self,
and
then
the
third
tier
was
crafting
a
career
path
which
is
based
on
career
pathway,
training
and
support,
also
for
17
and
21
year
olds,
and
we
did
also
have
a
component
of
our
program
that
fell
in
in
that
area
as
well.
C
And
then
I
I
think
that's
that
sums
it
up.
There
were
two.
There
were
two
ways
in
which
the
program
was
implemented.
One
was
our:
was
our
boss
up
model
on
the
boss
up
model?
Really,
youth
work,
participants
and
partners.
They
participated
in
weekly
single
success,
which
is
the
state's
state's
career
development
curriculum,
so
they
participated
in
weekly,
live
sessions
with
youth
works
instructors.
C
There
were
lunch
and
learn
sessions
where
participants
were
able
to
virtually
learn
about
different
career
paths.
Participants
also
completed
weekly
career
development
based
online
modules,
with
the
assistance
with
the
assistance
of
the
partners
or
where
they
worked
at,
and
also
some
of
this,
the
career
development
staff
in
our
office.
And
then
there
was
a
youth
work,
strong
model,
the
youth
work,
strong
model
was
managed
by
commonwealth
corporation,
in
which
young
people
completed
online
modules.
A
So
it's
very
impressive.
I
I
had
a
okay,
let's
go
to
the
next
person,
we'll
have
questions
at
the
end,
we'll
just
keep
going
with
the
panel.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Rashad.
A
Who's
next
eduardo
or
tierra.
E
Yeah
sure
again,
thank
you
for
for
having
us
here
today
and
I'm
very
happy
to
be
here
to
speak
about
this
past
summer
and
the
youth
works
funding
that
that
we
were
able
to
use.
I
think
I
just
want
to
echo
a
lot
of
just
what
rashad
just
shared.
I
was
you
know
more
involved
in
the
day-to-day
of
the
actual
programming
working
with
the
career
coaches,
working
with
the
staff
to
make
sure
that
the
program
was
successfully
implemented.
E
E
There
is
a
difference
between
completers
and
participants,
and
I
think
this
year
we
were
very
happy
with
the
number
of
completers
those
were
who
who
went
through
the
entire
program,
who
met
the
the
minimum
requirement
of
hours
for
the
summer,
and
that
number
was
over
300
for
this
for
this
summer.
So
we
were
very
happy
about
that.
E
So
I
think,
and
I
think
another
one
was
just
being
able
to
adapt
to
all
the
uncertainty
of
the
summer
and
being
able
to
still
put
forward
a
a
an
intensive
and,
very
you
know
very
meaningful
summer.
Employment
and
development
experience
for
these
young
people,
while
building
stronger
relationships
with
the
cbo's
that
we've
been
historically
working
with
and
the
new
ones
that
we
tend
to
bring
on
every
year
to
continue
to
diversify
the
opportunities
that
we
give
to
young
people.
E
E
The
grant
allows
us
to
to
bring
on
senior
career
coaches
and
career
coaches
in
order
to
implement
the
day-to-day
requirements
of
the
grant,
and
for
the
first
time
this
year
we
were
able
to
we
hired
adults
for
senior
to
be
senior
career
coaches,
and
I
think
that
showed
tremendous
improvements
in
the
way
that
we
interacted
with
our
young
people.
E
The
way
that
we
developed
this
the
career
coaches,
who
were
still
in
that
19
through
24
year
old
age
group
being
able
to
to
intentionally
provide
mentoring
for
for
those
seniors
for
those
career
coaches
directly
from
the
senior
career
coaches
who
were
able
to
you
know,
speak
to
their
experience.
Some
of
them
have
been
working
in
education.
E
Some
of
them
had
already
worked
with
youth
in
the
past,
so
seeing
that
growth
of
career
coaches
throughout
the
summer
was,
it
was
really
just
great
to
see
in
a
different
dimension
to
our
work
that
we
just
had
not
had
in
the
past.
E
I
think-
and
always
this
always
comes
back
to
the
youth
as
well,
so
going
through
the
summer
understanding
the
challenges
working
closely
with
the
youth
and
the
partners
to
go
through
the
challenges,
especially
early
on
in
the
summer,
where
we
were
still
trying
to
figure
out
so
much
of
the
just
the
details
of
the
program,
how
exactly
we
were
going
to
be
implementing
it
and
the
changes
from
last
summer
to
this
summer,
but
at
the
end
we
were
able
to
to
get
tremendous
feedback
from
the
young
people
who
really,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
persevered
in
the
face
of
the
pandemic.
E
And
you
know
taking
things
like
having
a
laptop
or
a
chromebook
for
granted
and
being
able
to
to
adjust
and
still
complete.
The
module
still
be
present
every
week
still
be
able
to
to
meet.
The
demands
of
the
program
still
be
able
to
be
present
for
case
management,
so
really
a
lot
of
kudos
to
just
the
young
people
for
for
being
able
to
work
through
all
of
that
and
still
have
a
successful
summer.
E
I
know
a
lot
of
them
are
now
even
continuing
to
excuse
me
to
go
on
into
our
school
year
program,
just
continuing
to
show
their
resiliency
and
really
the
importance
of
the
work
that
our
department
is
doing
and
how
important
it
is
for
for
our
city
to
to
continue
to
support
our
young
people
through
these
opportunities.
E
E
For,
for
this
great
allowed
us
to
take
a
deeper
dive
into
what
individual
partners
are
doing,
where
some
of
the
gaps
are
and
just
build
on
those
relationships
that
that
will
now
carry
over
into
the
school
year,
as
we
continue
to
provide
virtual
opportunities
to
to
supplement
programming
hours
that
some
cbo's
might
not
be
able
to
fulfill
for
our
employment
program.
So
we're
extremely
happy
to
continue
to
grow
to
to
to
grow,
and
that's
in
that
way
and
expand
on
the
work
that
we
did
in
the
summer.
E
Because
of
this
grant
I
mean
the
great
impact
that
is
having
on
these.
You
know
affected
young
people,
risk
buried
young
people
in
our
city,
so
very
happy
to
to
say
that
we
in
my
eyes
had
a
successful
summer.
As
far
as
the
experience
that
young
people
had
and
everything
that
they
walked
away
with
summer.
A
A
F
So
yeah,
I
I
think
that
for
us
this
summer
definitely
was
a
challenge
and
and
coming
into
it,
trying
to
figure
out
the
best
way
to
engage
young
people
and
especially
virtually
what
that
would
look
like
and
so
in
thinking
about.
What
you
know
would
be
something
that
would
be
engaging
for
young
people
across
the
board.
We
really
just
kind
of
landed
on
the
fact
that
young
people
would
either
be
entirely
virtual.
F
Safe
on-site,
you
know,
have
safe
on-site
employment
or
do
some
hybrid
of
the
two,
and
with
that
we
also
establish
some
tracks,
which
I'm
sure
you
have
probably
heard
of.
F
So
we
had
a
post-secondary
track,
which
was
learn
and
earn
where
young
people
would
be
able
to
get
paid
in
order
to
earn
college
credits
throughout
the
summer
we
had
the
success,
link
blue
shirts
program,
and
then
we
also
had
a
success
link
peer-to-peer
campaign
and
we
had
a
virtu
like
an
experiential
learning
track
as
well,
and
so
within
each
of
those
tracks.
We
partnered
with
different
either
city
entities
or
other
success,
link
partner
organizations
in
order
to
roll
out
the
programming.
So
for
our
success
link
learn
and
earn
program.
F
We
worked
in
collaboration
with
our
office,
the
city
of
boston's
office
of
workforce
development
to
have
young
people
be
able
to
have
the
ability
to
take
college
courses
at
bunker
hill,
benjamin
franklin
institute
of
technology,
roxbury,
community
college
or
urban
college
of
boston.
We
had
a
total
of
around
413
participants
in
that
track,
and
that
is
youth
between
the
ages
of
15
through
18,
and
then
also
our
success
link
leaders
who
are
between
the
ages
of
19
through
24
for
the
success
link
blue
shirts
program.
F
That
was
managed
in
collaboration
with
the
boston
parks
and
rec
rec
department,
as
well
as
the
department
of
public
works
and
we
hired
around
214
youth
success,
link,
youth
and
leaders
in
that
track,
and
then
the
success
link
peer-to-peer
campaign
was
a
campaign
that
we
did
in
collaboration
with
four
partner
organizations
that
we
typically
partner
with.
F
So
there
was
a
lot
of
incredible
work
done
there,
where
young
people
were
essentially
empowered
to
use
their
voices
to
talk
about
what
their
experience
has
been
in
this
pandemic
and
how
that's
impacted
them
and
then.
Finally,
the
success
link
experiential
learning
platform
practera
that
we
used.
We
did
work
in
collaboration
with
northeastern
university
to
roll
that
out
and
we
had
around
311
participants
in
that.
So
all
in
all,
we
got
to
see
what
we
could
do.
Really.
I
think
that
we
had
to
think
outside
of
the
box.
F
We
had
to
be
innovative
and
we
had
to
really
just
tap
into
the
partnerships
across
the
the
city
and
also
within
our
own
partner
organizations
and
say:
hey:
what
can
we
do?
How
can
we
think
creatively
about
you
know
really
just
making
it
so
that
this
is
a
summer
that
is
not
lost
for
these
young
people,
especially
given
that
for
a
lot
of
them
they're,
just
like
stuck
in
the
house.
F
So,
overall,
we
did
hire
a
total
of
3758,
youth
and
leaders,
so
it
was
around
3,
498,
youth
and
then
260
success,
link
leaders,
so
leaders
again
are
19
through
24
and
our
youth
are
15
through
18.,
and
I
think
one
thing
that
I'd
I'd
like
to
highlight-
and
I
know
that
we
highlighted
this
on
our
you
know-
calls
with
the
mayor-
is
that
we
hired
more
youth
this
summer
in
a
pandemic
than
we've
hired
in
a
regular
year.
F
You
know,
and
and
it's
been
it
was-
it
was
a
heavy
lift
for
sure,
but
it
really
showed
the
dedication
that
we
as
a
city
have
to
making
sure
that
young
people
have
meaningful
work,
experiences
and
opportunities
across
the
board
so
yeah.
I
think
that
that's
about
it
in
terms
of
what
I'd
like
to
share.
But
overall,
yes,
there
were
challenges,
but
I
think
it
was
also
an
incredible
opportunity
for
the
city
and
city
departments
and
our
our
nonprofit
partner
organizations
to
show
up,
and
I
think
that
we
did
that.
F
A
You
tiara
I'll
open
it
up
for
questions.
Would
counselor
bach?
Would
you
like
to
no
counselor
flynn?
I
think
big.
I
think
you
were
he's
ahead
of
me.
He's
ahead
of
me.
He
was
probably
here
before
I
was
this
morning.
D
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
important
committee
and
on
this
subject,
we're
lucky
to
have
a
leader
like
you.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
to
the
panelists
rasheed
eduardo
and
tiara
very
informative
conversation
this
morning.
Thank
you
for
your
work
that
you've
done
and
tierra.
I
was
interested
in
knowing
and
learning
that
the
partnerships
you
you've
developed
with
roxbury
community
college
bunker
hill
and
the
urban
college,
and
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
I
think
those
are
the
three
best
colleges
in
in
boston.
D
But
can
you
talk
about
that
partnership?
What
what
type
of
courses
would
they
be
taken
at
those
colleges
in
in
also,
are
you
able
to
develop
or
expand
on
that
in
terms
of
helping
them
get
any
type
of
employment
from
there?
From
that
college
experience
as
well,
you
know
maybe
partner
up
partnering
up
with
a
business
in
boston.
C
Hey
tara,
I
can
jump
in
here
real,
quick,
so
council
flynn,
the
the
partnership
with
the
community
college,
was
engineered
by
the
office
of
workforce
development.
C
You
all
may
know
that
the
office
of
workforce
development
in
the
city
has
a
free
community
college
program
so
because
of
the
existing
partnerships
that
owd
has
had
with
the
community
colleges,
it
allowed
us
to
be
able
to
create
this
summer.
Experience
on
for
the
young
people
so
over
at
over
at
bunker
hill
in
roxbury,
community
college
and
urban
college
and
be
fit
young
people
participated
in
business
courses.
Psychology
courses
there
was
even
a
google.
C
What
we
really
wanted
to
see
was
one
whether
or
not
it
was
interesting
from
young
people,
and
I
think
this
by
far
was
one
of
the
job
opportunities
where
we
saw
the
most
interest.
We
saw
nearly
about
600
young
people
that
expressed
interest
in
this
track,
which
proves
that
young
people
not
only
care
about
their
careers,
but
they
care
about
post-secondary
education
and
the
trajectory
of
you
know
filling
that
gap
from
high
school
and
college
and
making
sure
that
they
are
prepared
to
be
able
to
succeed
in
post-secondary
education.
C
We
have
not
bridged
a
gap
for
connecting
young
people
to
jobs.
You
know
through
these
college
partnerships.
I
think,
because
this
is
the
first
summer
we
piloted
this
initiative.
I
think
we,
you
know,
we
have
some
data
that
owd
has
collected
that
we
all
you
know,
will
continue
to
look
at
and
continue
to
make
on
the
best
informed
decisions
about
this
particular
initiative
going
into
next
summer.
D
Now,
that's
thank
you,
rashid,
that's
great,
to
learn!
Thank
you
for
the
incredible
work
that
all
all
three
of
you
and
you
and
your
workers
are
doing
as
well.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
the
tremendous
work
you're
doing
I
I
failed
to
mention
ben
franklin,
which
is
in
my
district,
but
they're
doing
excellent
work
and
bunker
hill
community
college
also
has
a
satellite
office
in
villa
victoria.
D
So
I
see
a
lot
of
young
people
going
going
to
that
program
as
well.
So
again
just
want
to
highlight
the
incredible
work
you're
doing,
but
also
the
the
work
of
our
community
colleges
in
boston.
They
play
a
critical
role
in
workforce
and
in
in
education
and
training.
So
thank
you
and
keep
up
the
good
work.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you,
councillor
flynn,
councillor.
G
Park.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
madam
chair
and
thank
you
to
the
whole
ye
team
for
being
here
today.
This
is
something
I
care
quite
a
lot
about
and
we
were
very
pleased
to
have
a
bunch
of
success,
link
youth
with
us
this
summer
and
so
worked
quite
directly
with
tierra
around
that
and-
and
it
was
great
and
we'd
love
to
do
it
again.
G
I
think
rashad
you'll
have
to
forgive
me
you'll
remember
from
the
spring,
I'm
like
a
budget
questions
person,
so
I
do
have
a.
I
have
some
follow-up
on
that
front
and
then
and
then
some
questions
just
about
kind
of
logistical
details,
so
mainly
focus
on
success
link.
Just
because
that's
what
we
were
touching
this
summer
and
one
thing
was
just
tara:
could
you
repeat
again
those
numbers
in
terms
of
the
final
counts?
G
F
G
Got
it
and
and
then
rashad
did
you
say
that
overall
acro
like
there
were
across
the
city,
it
was
6
000
this
summer.
C
Yeah,
so
the
the
the
number
that
we
had
collected-
and
this
is
these-
are
numbers
from
pick
abcd,
mlk
scholars
as
well.
We
we
collected
numbers
about
six
thousand
and
six
jobs.
I
think
that
what
we
are
doing
is
weighted
on
well,
not
waiting,
but
there
are
numbers
that
have
been
tallied
after
we've
collected
that
6006
number
from
those
providers
as
well,
but
it
it
teeters
around
that
number.
G
Okay-
and
so
it's
fair
to
say
that
I
mean
we
in
the
city-
that
am
I
right-
I'm
trying
to
remember,
I
think
last
year
was
about
3
300
in
success
link.
Is
that
right?
I
think.
F
So
the
final
number
was
somewhere
around
2
900.
our.
So
our
goal
for
success
link
is
always
around
3
300,
so
3100,
youth
and
then
200
leaders,
and
so
this
year
our
goal
was
a
little
bit
higher
because
we
did
have
the
additional
funding.
So
we
were
able
to
hire
more.
G
G
Okay,
so
right
so
it's,
I
think
it's
worth
noting
just
for
the
public-
and
I
think
you
guys
have
said
this,
but
you
haven't
said
it
as
clearly
that
I
mean
the
city's
youth
program
went
up
and
everyone
else's
youth
programs
went
down
this
summer.
G
Right,
I
mean
that's,
I
mean
and
and-
and
I
wish
that
were
not
so
in
the
sense
that
I
wish
that
we
were
also
talking
about
the
private
side
going
up,
because
because
if
they
had,
then
we
would
have
looked
at
a
record
number
of
youth
this
summer
and
instead
we're
talking
about
we're
talking
about
the
city,
having
helped
to
fill
that
gap
right,
correct.
C
G
And-
and
I
guess
one
thing
I'd
like
to
understand-
I
know:
we've
had
a
conversation
about
the
how
the
funds
that
are
left
over
from
the
success
link
program
in
the
summer,
roll
into
year-round
jobs
and-
and
I
I've
pushed
the
department
on
really
wanting
to
be
able
to
project
numbers
of
year-round
jobs
more
clearly
and
kind
of
do
some
projection
on
that
in
the
past,
and
also
we
had
a
commitment
from
the
budget
office
for
a
thousand
year
round
jobs
this
year,
and
so
I
want
to
understand
kind
of.
G
C
Yeah,
so
I
think
council
block
it's
when
we
think
about
funding
leftover
from
the
summer.
So,
as
you
all
remember,
mayor
walsh
made
the
commitment
to
invest
an
additional
4.2
million
dollars
into
our
department
on
this
summer.
That
fund
that
funding
was
cares,
funding
right
so
that
funding
was
definitely
tied
to
summer
jobs
and
that
funding
had
to
be
used
up
by.
I
believe,
the
end
of
december.
So
a
large
part
of
that
funding
went
towards
youth
wages
this
summer,
but
also
there
were
some
non-personnel
expenses.
C
It
covered
the
the
cost
for
the
college
courses
for
the
young
people
it
covered
supplies
and
materials.
It
also
covered
career
coach
staff.
So
this
the
career
coach
staff
that
help
oversee
the
the
college
pathway.
We
had
a
virtual
track,
so
it
covered
staff
for
that
as
well,
so
that
funding
does
not
carry
over
into
the
school
year.
So
what
we're
looking
at
right
now
is-
and
I
can
get
you
the
exact
figures,
but
our
city
dollars.
C
Aside
from
the
the
cares
funding,
was
roughly
about
six
million,
so
we
have
budgeted
about
six
six
point:
six
million
point.
C
C
Let
me
see
if
I
can
find
that
number
for
you,
because
I
did
not
bring
that,
but
the
there
is
leftover
funding
from
the
summer
from
the
success
link
dollars
that
is
going
into
the
school
year.
I
can
tell
you
how
much
we
budgeted
for
the
school
year.
I
can
tell
you
that
in
one.
C
C
So
for
the
school
year,
so
for
the
school
year
with
a
thousand
jobs
that
a
thousand
jobs
for
the
26
weeks
or
so
we
budgeted
3.3
million.
So
that's
3
million
315
and
that's
for
a
thousand
youth
and
then
yeah.
So
that's
how
much
we
we
budgeted
for
for
the
school
year.
C
G
F
So
we
had
youth
start
on
november
16th,
so
we
have
approximately
almost
half
of
the
youth
already
hired,
and
so
those
youth
did
start
on
as
of
november
16th.
Our
program
historically
has
always
started
mid-november,
and
then
it
runs
all
the
way
up
into
the
end
of
april.
G
No,
I
just
know
that
we
we'd
love
to
expand
it,
and-
and
I
should
just
say
you
know-
I
think
it's
really
important
to
say.
I
think
everybody
knows
that
it's
a
really
hard
time
on
lots
of
fronts
right
now
and
that
both
means
that
a
lot
of
our
you.
B
G
Lot
of
our
youth
are
in
families
that
are
really
struggling
to
make
ends
meet
and
so
that
youth
job
is
a
critical
piece
of
of
the
sort
of
family
economy
and
then
also,
you
know,
we're
very
concerned
about
rising
violence
in
the
city,
and
so
I'm
just
I'm
very
anxious.
I'm
asking
the
same
questions
as
some
of
the
state
money
that
went.
You
know
towards
funding
jobs.
G
Programs
like
are
these
actually
turning
into
jobs
on
the
ground
and
like
how
quickly
are
we
getting
them
to
people
and
sort
of
how
do
we?
How
do
we
really
make
sure
that
those
are
opportunities
that
are
real
for
people?
So
I'm
very
antsy
about
that
right
now,
knowing
very
much
that
you
guys
are
are
are
on
the
same
team
on
trying
to
make
that
stuff
happen.
C
C
I
think
that,
on
our
end,
there
is
tremendous
work
that
needs
to
go
into
the
setup
of
this,
the
the
the
isum
system,
so
we
literally
have
to
terminate
every
young
person
that
worked
in
the
summer,
so
we
have
to
clean
up
the
system
and
then
we
have
to
get
ready
to
set
the
system.
So
we
have
to
release
a
partner
application.
C
We
have
to
at
least
allow
for
a
minimum
of
three
weeks
for
partners
who
are
interested
in
the
school
year
to
apply,
because
we
can
assume
that
partners
for
all
partners
from
the
summer
will
be
participating
in
the
school
year.
Jobs
program.
In
fact
we
do
have
we
typically
see
about
30
or
40
less
partners
in
the
school
year
than
we
do
in
the
summer.
So
we
we
really.
We
open
up
a
new
application
process,
that's
open
for
about
three
weeks
and
then
from
there.
C
We
have
to
take
the
job
data
that's
collected
from
those
applications,
and
that
needs
to
be
uploaded
into
the
isum
system
all
over
again,
and
then
the
system
has
to
be
tested
to
make
sure
that
it
works
for
the
young
people
before
we
can
open
the
youth
application
and
then
the
youth
application
typically
needs
to
be
open
for
a
minimum
of
about
three
weeks
as
well.
C
So
while
we
will
want
to
start
it
earlier,
there
are
a
lot
of
administrative
fronts
on
our
end,
just
given
the
system
that
we're
using,
which
is
the
city
system,
there's
a
lot
of
administrative
things
on
our
end
that
even
if
we
expedite
those
things
we
couldn't
start
no
earlier
than
about
like
the
beginning
of
like
a
november
or
so
because
it
takes
that
time
to
set
everything
up.
G
So
so
one
of
the
questions
that
I
actually
got
from
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
programs,
folks
who
are
providing
success
lincoln
and
are
the
folks
who
also
provide
the
year-round
jobs
is.
Is
there
any
way
I
mean
for
us
to
it?
Sort
of
makes
intuitive
sense
to
both
the
youth
and
the
programs
to
set
up
a
kind
of
like
a
more
efficient
path
for
the
kind
of
folks
who
are
really
staying
on
from
the
summer
program
into
the
year-round
program
like?
G
G
Have
the
folks
who
do
it
for
the
summer
be
able
to,
like
you
know,
check
a
relatively
easy
box
around
like
yeah,
I'm
continuing
and
and
have
that
sort
of
same
entity
start
getting
paid,
because
it
seems
like,
I
think,
for
a
lot
of
our
organizations
if
there
was
a
way
to
to
route
sort
of
existing
youth,
who
have
already
gotten
to
know
the
folks
into
a
job
that
they
could
then
start
with
the
school
year
in
september.
G
If,
if
new
people
who
found
the
whole
thing
completely
anew
had
to
come
in
november,
that
would
you
know
that
would
be
okay,
but
it's,
I
think,
folks,
are
both
frustrated
with
the
time
that
the
youth
can't
can't
be
paid
and
engaged,
and
also
worry
that
you
just
lose
a
lot
of
people
like
there's
a
lot
of
folks
on
the
off
ramp,
just
because
of
the
complexity
of
the
system.
G
F
So
that
is
a
huge
initiative
that
we've
worked
on
in
collaboration
with
our
office
of
human
resources
to
make
it
so
that
again,
I
think
one
thing
that
has
been
incredibly
difficult
for
a
lot
of
young
people
is
that
they
do
have
to
be
hired
as
city
of
boston
employees
in
order
to
to
work
with
us,
and
so
we
understand
you
know
all
that
goes
into
that.
Some
of
the
things
that
they
have
to
do
would
be
required,
regardless
of
where
they
work,
just
because
these
are
federal
and
state
guidelines.
F
But
then
some
things
are
like
city
like
our
residency,
where
they
need
to
provide
residency
documents,
so
we
have
worked
in
in
collaboration
with
our
office
of
human
resources.
For
that,
I
think
that,
in
terms
of
our
partners,
we
have
worked
to
significantly
reduce
the
the
length
of
the
partner
application.
F
At
this
point,
it
takes
partners,
maybe
about
10
minutes,
to
complete
a
partner
application.
I
think,
even
if
we
were
to
say,
have
a
button
that
a
partner
just
pushed
to
indicate
that
they'd
like
to
come,
continue
to
be
partners
for
fall.
That
still
would
require
us
to
open
up
a
youth
application,
and
so
that's
exactly
what
we
have
now
we
had
around
400
and
some
odd
youth
indicate
that
they
were
going
to
be
rolled
over,
so
we
have
youth
that
were
hired
in
the
summer
that
are
still
active.
F
Now,
I'm
going
into
the
school
year.
However,
we
still
need
to
open
up
the
application
for
youth
that
aren't
already
connected
to
organizations
that
we
partner
with,
and
so
I
think
that,
even
in
all
the
things
that
we've
done
to
better
streamline
the
process,
there's
always
going
to
be.
This
need
to
open
up
an
application.
There's
always
going
to
going
to
be
a
need
to
have
partners
update
information,
because
our
partners,
especially
because
they're
non-profit
organizations,
staffing
changes,
there
are
always
a
lot
of
changes
that
we
need
to
have
updated.
F
I
think
that
at
the
very
minimum
in
rashad,
I
echo
what
rashad
said:
there's
always
going
to
need
to
be
a
minimum
of
a
month
to
up
two
months
of
a
setup
period
just
given
that
we
will
always
need
to
roll
out
applications
for
partners
and
youth,
regardless
of
how
much
we
shorten
the
partner
application
and
then,
regardless
of
how
much
we,
how
many
young
people
we
roll
over
from
season
to
season.
G
Yeah,
I
guess
I
think
to
me,
like
all
the
youth
are
right
they're.
All
our
kids,
like
you,
have
to
be
a
city
of
boston,
kid
to
do
this,
and
I
just
think
that
so
much
when
we
talk
about
pathways
right,
like
so
much
of
like
successful
pathways,
is
like
not
losing
the
handoff
and
so
to
me,
like
there's
a
policy
priority
to
the
idea
of
like
hey,
we've
got
returning
youth
who
want
to
stay
involved
in
an
organization
year
round
like
we
should
just.
G
I
don't
think
we
need
to
be
waiting
for
an
open
application
to
like
funnel
those
youth
into
continuing
to
work
with
their
partner
organizations.
Like
my
instinct,
is
you
keep
that
going
and
then
and
you
have
some
and
then
you
have
a
like?
Oh
and
here's
our
onramp?
I
agree
with
you
that
we
couldn't.
We
couldn't
have
that
be
the
only
way
into
these
things,
because
we're
trying
to
create
lots
of
on-ramps
and
opportunities,
but
I
it
just
strikes
me
that
it
just
is
choppy
honestly.
C
Yeah,
council
blah,
I
think
we
can
look
at
we
love
to
look
at
that
more.
You
know,
I
think,
I'm
a
big
fan
of
making
sure
we
can
try
to
streamline
processes,
especially
that
benefits
our
young
people.
So
even
with
you
like,
we
love
to
explore
just
what
that
looks
like,
because
I
think
the
the
idea
that
we
always
struggle
with
is
that
there's
always
more
youth
than
we
have
jobs,
especially
for
the
school
year.
C
So
if,
if
we
go
through
that
process
and
then
there's
young
people
that
say
hey,
if
you
guys
are
interested
in
working
in
the
school
year,
then
we'll
allow
you
guys
to
continue
to
carry
over
then
that
number
exceeds
the
number
of
jobs
that
we
have
for
the
school
year.
So
now
we
have
to
begin
to
say
how
do
we
prioritize
what
young
people
this
opportunity
goes
for
goes
to,
and
I
think
that's
where
we
struggle
at,
because
there's
always
more
interest
for
young
people
than
we
have
jobs.
C
So
even
this
school
year,
like
the
application's
going
to
be
open,
there's
going
to
be
young
people
that
will
apply.
That
will
not
be
able
to
get
a
job
because
we
don't
have
as
many
jobs
available
for
all
the
young
people
that
are
interested
in
participating
in
the
school
year
jobs
program.
So
then
it
comes
down
to
equity
and
it
comes
down
okay.
So
why
is
that
young
person
able
to
to
continue
if
these
young
people,
who
also
want
to
continue,
cannot
continue
at
that
same
organization?
C
So
I
think
that's
why
we
have
this
school
year
and
summer
processes
separate,
because
an
organization
can
have
30
jobs
during
the
summer,
but
because
of
the
number
of
jobs
that
we
go
from
three
thousand
to
a
thousand
for
the
school
year.
That
organization
may
only
have
like
five
to
ten
jobs
during
the
school
year,
but
all
of
their
young
people
want
to
come
back
and,
if
we'll
so
we.
So
it's
really
that's
the
type
of
thinking
that
you
know
that
we
experience
in
our
office.
C
That
makes
that
part
a
little
bit
challenging
just
to
have
young
people
go
straight
through
september
and
october
without
setting
up
you
know
a
a
school
year
process.
But
again
I
I
think
your
point
is
well
taken.
You
know,
love
to
kind
of
you
know,
get
your
additional
thinking
like
we
can
sit
down
and
share
with
you
exactly
what
our
process
looks
like
from
end
to
end
and
that
you
may
have
some
ideas
that
you
know
we're
not
looking
at
and
that's
certainly
welcome.
G
Very
good,
no,
I
would
love
to
do
that
to
sit
down
and
really
talk
about,
because
I
think
also-
and
we,
because
we
ran
a
successful
program
this
summer.
We've
got
a
bunch
of
specific
kind
of
things
just
around
you
know
time
sheets,
and
is
there
some
kind
of
a
unified
orientation
that
we
could
like
run
for
this,
for
the
youth
and
kind
of
thinking
about
how
to
how
you
guys
figure
out
staffing
for
that
bubble
where
everything's
hitting
I
mean.
G
Obviously,
this
was
an
exceptionally
crazy
summer
on
that
front,
but
you
know
trying
to
think
about
a
bunch
of
processes,
but
I'm
mindful
of
having
taken
a
lot
of
time
today
so
but
I'll.
I
would
love
to
have
that
so
fernando,
I
think
you're
on
the
call.
It
would
be
great
if
we
could
set
that
up.
A
We've
been
joined
by
councillor
mejia
welcome
concert,
sabi
george.
This
has
been
a
very
rich
conversation,
so
I'm
letting
it
free-wheel
a
little.
So
pardon
me,
counselor
sabi
george.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I'm
gonna
actually
throw
a
little
bit
of
a
rocky
mention
monkey
wrench,
revealing
because
I
do
have
another
commitment
this
morning
and
really
appreciate
the
thoughtfulness
and
depth
in
which
my
colleagues
have
gotten
into
their
questions.
So
just
I
want
to
say
a
general
appreciation,
because
I
know
that
this
summer,
especially,
was
really
difficult,
especially
as
we
work
to
do
more
with
our
young
people
and
give
them
more
opportunities
and
create
more
rich
opportunities
for
them
to
participate
in
and
hopefully
build
for
the
future.
B
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
all
of
your
commitment
to
our
kids
and
to
these
opportunities
and
we'll
certainly
review
the
rest
of
this
meeting,
as
I
do
need
to
sign
off,
but
just
want
to
say
send
my
thanks
offer
my
thanks
and
my
support,
certainly
for
this.
This
funding
to
go
through.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Questions:
okay,
I'm
I'm
running
back
and.
H
H
H
Employers
to
increase
the
number
of
slots
that
they're
providing
for
youth,
I'm
just
curious
about
what
that
recruitment
looks
like
and
what
that
strategy
is,
and,
as
the
chair
of
workforce
development,
I
am
really
hoping
to
lean
in
and
work
alongside
you
and
your
team
to
help
support
that
advocacy
so
just
wanted
to
just
plug
that.
But
can
you
just
talk
to
this?
These
are
just
a
few
questions.
Can
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
community-based
organizations
who
you
are
partnering
with
for
in
workforce
development?
H
How
are
they
chosen
and
how
are
the
young
people
you
work
with
assigned
to
them
just
curious
about
that,
and
can
you
walk
us
through
the
application
process?
Is
the
application
in
more
than
one
language?
Are
there
opportunities
for
students
who
do
not
speak
english
and
I'm
just
curious
what
if
any
opportunity
exists?
H
I
know
that,
even
if
you
are
undocumented,
you
can
have
a
tax
id
and
still
be
able
to
work.
So
I'm
just
curious
what,
if
anything,
the
city
is
thinking
of
doing
to
help
create
workforce
development
opportunities
for
young
people
who
still
may
be
undocumented,
and
I
don't
even
know
if
that's
even
a
legal
thing
to
ask-
and
I
wish
lydia
edwards
was
here
because
she'll,
let
me
know
about
myself,
but
I'm
asking
anyways
just
because
I'm
curious.
C
Sure
so
councilman
here,
thank
you
for
joining.
So
what
I
can
do
is
I'll
tackle
your
third
question.
First
and
then
tara.
We
can
come
back.
C
Maybe
you
can
tackle
on
the
partner
application,
and
I
think
there
was
a
question
in
there
about
the
the
youth
application
as
well
so
this
summer-
and
this
is
in
regards
to
immigrant
youth
this
summer,
under
the
leadership
of
yusuf,
valley
and
and
the
moya
team,
the
mayor's
office
of
immigrant
advancement,
the
city
of
boston,
was
able
to
implement
a
special
summer
initiative,
called
the
dreamers
fellowship
right
and
the
dreamers
fellowship
this
summer.
C
Thanks
to
mayor
walsh
and
on
the
boston
resiliency
fund,
it
was
a
pilot
fellowship
program
for
immigrants.
You
know
who
came
to
this
country
as
children,
the
dreamers,
the
collaboration
came
together
to
address
a
critical
gap
in
our
yee
programming
to
ensure
equity
and
opportunity
for
all
youth,
so
through
a
grant
through
a
grant
from
the
boston
resiliency
fund.
There
were
four
immigrant
nonprofits.
C
You
know
where,
where
we
was
able
to
partner
with
to
put
50
dreamers
through
a
three-week
summer
program-
and
those
were
you
know,
students
that
were
latino
brazilian
and
caribbean
background
and
the
youth
were
all
residents
of
the
city
of
boston.
They
was
chosen
from
an
existing
clientele
of
those
nonprofits
that
we
partner
with
and
some
of
the
highlights
of
that
program.
C
C
There
was
15
hours
of
work,
readiness
and
skill
building,
and
there
was
five
hours
of
academic
support
in
leadership,
development
for
those
young
people,
the
the
programs
were
in
east
bar,
so
the
young
people
came
from
like
boston,
brighton,
high
park
and
mattapan.
C
The
young
people
received
a
300
weekly
stipend
and
the
total
investment
was
roughly
about
51
000
from
the
boston
missouri
fund,
which
was
private
funding.
So
this
did
not
come
from
our
success
link
funding,
so
this
was
private
funding
that
was
used
to
support
this
program
because
we
knew
you
know
how
important
it
was
to
begin
to
find
ways
to
fill
that
gap
of
providing
opportunities
to
immigrate.
C
Youth
and
again,
the
moya
team
you
know-
was
really
spearheading
this
effort
so
kudos
to
you,
know,
yusufy
and
renato
and
and
their
amazing
team,
for
taking
the
lead
on
on
this
initiative.
H
That's
great
that's
great.
I
do
have
a
quick
follow-up
before
we
move
on
to
the
other
two
questions.
Just
really
quick,
I'm
curious
about
what
plans
are
in
place
in
terms
of
sustainability
and
I'm
curious
about
young
people
in
particular.
Who
are,
I
would
say,
they're
a
little
bit
older,
but
they're
still
18
to
22.
H
there's
a
gap
for
that
age
bracket
of
young
people
who
right
now
don't
really
fit
within
the
stereotypical
nonprofit
sector,
and
they
these
young
people
are
literally
falling
through
the
cracks
because
they
have
either
phased
out
of
school,
are
unemployed,
underemployed
and
and
so
just
curious
about
what
efforts
exist,
even
within
not
just
undocumented
students
who
fall
in
that
area,
but
just
overall
the
18
to
22
year
old.
C
Sure
thing
so
in
terms
of
sustainability
of
the
dreamers
fellowship,
there
is
ongoing
conversation
with
our
office
moyer
and
hhs
around
ways
to
continue
to
fund
that
initiative
even
going
into
the
new
year.
So
more
information
will
be
forthcoming
as
those
conversations
continue
and
then
also
thinking
about
next
summer
and
how
we
can
continue
to
grow
this
initiative
for
that
population
as
well.
C
So
those
conversations
are
actively
happening
and
then
very
quickly
on
council
mejia
in
terms
of
just
opportunities
for
that
young
adult
population,
we
do
provide
jobs.
C
Yeah
we
do
provide
jobs
for
19
to
24
year
olds.
I
think
the
challenge
is
it's
a
very
small
number
and
I
think
that
you
know
we
all
can
begin
to
think
about
ways
to
increase.
C
You
know
that
number
of
jobs
for
19
to
24
year
olds,
because
it's
not
it,
has
not
been
a
staple
component
of
our
successive
program.
There
hasn't
been
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
increasing
the
number
of
jobs
for
the
young
adult
population,
and
then
there
are
also
other
incredible
opportunities
through
the
office
of
workforce
development
when
it
comes
to
providing,
you
know,
pathway
opportunities
for
that
population
as
well.
C
So
I
think
it
requires
a
you
know:
a
continued
conversation
with
various
city
departments
who
are
touching
that
young
adult
population
to
see
what
already
exists
for
that
population
to
really
identify
the
gaps
in
that
population
as
well.
So
we
can
find
ways
to
address
those
gaps
that
you
are
talking
about,
I'm
in
a
very
intentional
way.
H
I
F
F
So,
in
terms
of
our
partner
application,
our
partners
are
really
selected
based
on
a
couple
of
different
criteria,
so
at
least
what
we
share
with
them.
On
the
we
have
like
a
partner
application
overview,
we
base
our
our
acceptance
of
partners
on
their
application.
We
base
it
on
use
feedback.
So,
typically,
if
a
partner
is
working
with
a
season
to
season,
we
do
survey
those
young
people
and
we
ask
them
about
their
experience
with
those
partner
organizations.
So
we
will
use
that
feedback.
F
We
also,
you
know,
take
into
consideration
any
prior
success,
link,
program,
participation
and
so
all
in
all,
when
we're
looking
at
a
partner
application,
we're
looking
at
them
holistically
and
then
we're
breaking
down
what
kind
of
organization
they
are,
whether
or
not
they
have
the
capacity
to
be
a
partner
with
us
meaning
like
do
they
have
the
capacity
to
send
in
timesheets
on
time
to
hire,
assist
in
the
hiring
process
of
these
young
people.
Are
they
developing
young
people?
F
Do
they
have
solid
job
descriptions
and
we're
looking
at
all
of
that
when
we're
assessing
partner
organizations
and
the
way
that
it
typically
works?
Is
that
once
we
assess
the
partner's
application,
we
give
them
a
score
and
when
we
score
them,
we
use
that
score
as
a
basis
to
allocate
our
positions
to
them.
So
what
that
would
look
like
is,
let's
say
we
have
three
thousand
positions
and
we
have
over
215
partner
partners
that
we
accept
as
success
link
partners.
F
We're
then
going
back
and
we're
initially
we
look
at
their
raw
score
data
and
we're
saying
okay,
how
many
youth
can
we
allocate
out
based
on
the
number
of
slots
that
we
have
available
and
that's
typically,
what
we
do
to?
I
think
that's
simplifying
it,
but
that's
typically
what
we
do
to
be
able
to
allocate
out
positions
to
these
organizations
in
terms
of
youth
placement.
We
do
not
actually
place
youth
at
these
partner
organizations.
F
The
young
people
apply
by
the
city
of
boston
website,
so
we
have
our
own
success
link
application
site
where
we
have
all
of
the
partner
organizations
listed
and
the
job
descriptions
that
they
provided.
The
young
people
apply
directly
to
that
partner
organization,
and
then
the
partners
review
those
young
people.
They
sometimes
interview
those
young
people
and
they
select
those
young
people
and
from
there
what
our
team
does
is
we
take
them
and
we
move
them
through
the
hiring
process.
F
So
we
assign
them
onboarding
paperwork
everything
they
need
to
get
hired
and
then
we
hire
them
and
then
we
manage
the
payroll.
So,
although
the
partners
are
sending
in
timesheets
and
everything
else
we're
managing
the
payroll
aspect
of
their
work,
I
think
you
answered
you
asked
another
question
around
whether
or
not
the
application
is
translated
and
the
application
currently
is
not.
What
is
translated
are
all
of
the
documents
that
we
have
to
help.
F
Young
people
know
what
documents
they
need
to
bring
in
in
order
to
get
hired
and
we
call
those
doc.
We
call
that
document
our
document
checklist.
So
we
do
have
that
document
checklist
in
multiple
languages.
We
do
not
have
our
application
in
different
languages.
F
I
think
it's
actually
just
more
of
a
system
issue.
I
do
not
believe
that
the
applicant
tracking
system,
isoms,
that
we
use
has
the
capacity
to
do
that
and
if
it,
if
it
does,
that's,
not
something
that
we've
been
made
aware
of
so
it's
only
the
application
currently
is
only
in
one
one
language.
For
that
reason,.
H
A
You
know,
thank
you
councilman.
I
know
this
is
an
issue
that's
near
and
dear
to
your
heart.
I
I
feel
it's
also
really
important
to
get
a
good
handle
on
where
we're
at
and
and
and
where
we're
headed
to.
I
I
applaud
you
all
for
the
great
work.
That's
happened
this
year.
The
fact
that
the
number
of
young
people
who
participated
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic
it
was
increased
over
last
year
is
pretty
phenomenal.
A
So
thank
you.
I
have
just
a
couple
of
quick
questions.
You
said
that
the
the
grant
had
allowed
you
to
hire
senior
career
coaches
and,
let's
see
that
seemed
to
improve
your
outcomes
in
terms
of
participation.
E
Yeah
for
sure,
absolutely,
I
think
that
the
results
that
we
saw
not
only
in
the
impact
that
the
senior
career
coaches
had
on
their
engagement
with
the
actual
young
people,
but
thinking
about
the
interns
in
our
office
and
the
continued
development
that
we
want
to
ensure
that
we're
providing
for
them
as
well
so
yeah.
It
was
up
to
me.
E
I
absolutely
continue
to
hire
those
adult
for
those
positions
just
to
ensure
that
that
continues
and
we're
able
to
further
develop
our
interns,
as
well
as
the
young
people
that
we
work
with.
E
Each
senior
career
coach
was
paired
up
with
two
career
coaches
and
we
really
built
out
what
was
a
pilot
case
management
sort
of
program
for
those
career
coaches,
where
they
met
weekly
with
the
senior
career
coaches
set
goals
for
the
summer,
we're
able
to
receive
feedback
from
the
senior
career
coaches
after
having
facilitated
a
virtual
workshop,
where
you
know
we
delegated
different
tasks
according
to
the
skill
set
in
order
to
get
the
work
done,
but
also
to
challenge
their
own
skills
and
further
their
own
development.
E
As
the
summer
went
along
and
in
our
exit
conversations
with
all
our
career
coaches.
They
all
spoke
glowingly
about
their
relationship
with
their
senior
career
coaches
and
a
lot
of
them
left
the
door
open
for
returning
next
year.
So
we're
hoping
that
we're
able
to
continue
those
relationships
and
just
honestly
expanding
the
number
of
career
coaches
and
senior
senior
career
coaches
that
we
hired
in
order
to
you
know
have
another
successful
summer.
In
terms
of
that
relationship.
That
sounds.
A
Great,
you
also
mentioned
some
gaps
in
their
program:
somebody's
where's,
the
noise.
Coming
from
you,
you
mentioned
gaps.
I'm
I
wrote.
I
wrote
down
gaps
in
in
toast
sequence
of
the
talking
about,
were
there
particular
gaps
that
you
identified
or
that
you
think
we
would
be
worth
looking
into
to
figure
in
in
terms
of
reach
or
our
outcomes
or
whatever.
E
I
think,
as
far
as
gaps,
one
of
the
ones
that
first
comes
to
mind
is
just
a
technology
gap
is
one.
I
think
that
we,
we
did
a
good
job
of
you
know
doing
our
best
to
ensure
that
all
of
our
young
people
had
the
technology
they
needed.
I
know
that
some
partners
and
some
youth
came
directly
to
our
office
to
pick
up
equipment,
but
I
think,
as
as
we
went
along
this
summer,
we
we
just
continue
to
identify
sort
of
gaps
in
in
that
way.
E
So,
even
though,
let's
say
a
young
person
had
a
chromebook,
you
know
the
the
next
issue
might
have
been:
maybe
a
stable
internet
connection.
So
how
do
we
sort
of
rectify
that
so
being
able
to
maybe
provide
hot
spots
for
young
people
to
be
able
to
connect
wherever
they
are?
What
was
one
gap?
Thinking
about
gaps?
The
engagement
in
the
beginning
of
the
summer
surely
was
challenging
just
because
there
was
so
much
uncertainty
into
what
the
rest
of
the
summer
was
even
just
coming
to
the
decision
of
like
hey.
E
We
are
going
to
have
a
summer
to
then
actually
put
action.
Put
action
forward
to
make
sure
that
we
did
in
the
earlier
parts
of
june
and
then
into
early
july.
There
were
definitely
some
gaps
there
and
just
you
know
how
do
we
do
it,
but
I
think
once
we
actually,
once
the
program
started
july
6
and
we
continued
to
have
you
know
we
started
to
have
that
day-to-day
engagement
with
the
young
people
and
the
partners.
E
You
know
situations
at
home
whether
they
had
a
privacy
to
even
be
able
to
log
on
or
even
a
stable
internet
connection
that
I
mentioned
and
being
able
to
work
with
the
partners
who
really
have
those
solid
relationships
with
these
young
people,
especially
with
the
young
people
that
continue
to
work
at
their
sites
season
to
season
and
being
able
to
sort
of
close
that
gap
in
engagement.
E
What
was
tremendous-
and
I
think,
by
the
end
of
the
summer,
just
in
some
of
our
partner
feedback,
we
saw
that
some
of
them
said
that
they
were
open
to
returning
to
working
through
this
grant
next
summer
and-
and
I
and
I
feel
like
we
only
we're
only
going
to
build
on
that
and
close
those
gaps
as
we
plan
for
next
summer.
That's
excellent.
A
Thank
you,
so
I'm
cognizant
of
the
times
I
want
one
more
question,
just
looking
for
all
you've
learned
this
year,
looking
forward
to
next
year,
what's
your
biggest
takeaway
in
terms
of
how
things
might
be
changed
or
improved,
going
forward.
C
Yeah,
council
breeding,
I
would
say
that
we
do
have
a
model
given
this
past
summer
that
if
we
are
still
experiencing
this
pandemic,
we
will
be
better
prepared
to
implement
a
summer
program
next
summer
for
young
people.
So
I
think
that
that's
something
that
that's
a
huge
takeaway
for
us
and
then
I
think
these.
The
next
thing,
that's
a
big
takeaway.
Is
us
finding
ways
to
continue
those
programs
that
young
people
were
really
interested
in
and
the
college
track
is
one
of
those.
C
So
we've
had
conversations
with
the
office
of
workforce
development
to
begin
to
think
about
how
that
can
actually
happen.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
what
young
people
need
and
what
they're
interested
in
we
find
ways
to
create
those
opportunities.
C
A
Very
good
I
I
wanted.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
very,
very
sincerely
for
all
the
great
work
that
has
happened
over
the
summer
under
very
challenging
circumstances
and
thank
you
for
all
coming
in
and
telling
us
what
was
the
good
and
the
good
report
out
this
morning,
and
I
really
appreciate
all
of
you.
So
thank
you
so
much.
I
will
now
call
this
hearing
a
jerk.
C
To
a
jerk
we
do
have,
we
do
have
one
person
for
public
testimony.
A
I
Well:
okay,
hi:
my
name
is
karen
monty
burdock,
I'm
fortunate
enough
to
serve
as
the
president
of
the
emerald
necklace
conservancy,
we're
a
non-profit
that
supports
the
parks
on
the
not-so-fancy
zoom
background
behind
me,
which
is
not
a
zoom
background,
and
the
computer
won't
do
as
many
background.
This
is
the
map
of
the
emerald
necklace.
I
I
have
the
great
pleasure
of
working
with
actually
a
couple
of
people
I
see
on
here
today,
ms
lyons
and
mr
cope
with
the
summer
and
our
fall
program,
and
we
are
very
fortunate
to
get
a
number
of
students
in
our
summer
program
and
this
summer
you
know
we
were
able
to
increase
our
number
of
students
in
the
program.
I
My
staff
started.
Doing
you
know
our
teaching
virtually,
which
was
not
what
we
have
normally
done
in
the
past,
but
we
were
able
to
serve
more
kids
than
ever,
and
I'm
very
very
pleased
about
that.
I
think
employing
kids
and
finding
more
ways
to
engage
them
in
in
in
their
parks
was
a
was
a
real,
a
real
pleasure.
I
I
am
excited
and
I
hope
that
the
fall
program
can
be
can
start
as
soon
as
possible.
We
also
would
like
to
place
more
kids
in
our
fall
program,
so
I'm
excited
to
see
these
kinds
of
funding
opportunities
come
through,
because
perhaps
that
will
allow
ie
to
do
more
and
have
more
resources.
So
I
just
saw
that
you
know
this
came
through
and
I
I'd
love
to
you
know
find
ways
to
to
continue
to
collaborate.
I
mean
I
really
applaud
how
quickly
ye
was
able
to
flex
and
change
and
set
up.
I
I
know
new
systems
of
process
students.
I
know
that
that's
a
lot
of
the
complexity
and
if
there's
ways
the
conservancy
and
our
education
staff,
kent
jackson
and
others
can
help
continue
to
increase
the
number
of
young
people
serve.
I
think
that
would
be
great.
I
grew
up
in
atlanta,
georgia
and
it
was
a
program
like
this
that
really
turned
me
on
to
parks
and
and
environmental
work,
and
so
I'm
just
very
excited
about
this
and
I'd
like
to
know.
You
know
ways
that
I
could
serve
more
more
young
people
this
summer.
I
We
hoped
to
maybe
serve
up
to
100.
I
think
we
ended
up
serving
about
30
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
know
there
are
ways
we
could
either
help
find
more
youth
or
find
you
know,
figure
out
ways
we
could
be
serving
more
kids.
A
Very
good,
thank
you
so
much
karen,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
taking
your
students
this
summer.
It's
every
all
your
par
all
of
our
partners
are
are
essential
to
the
success
of
all
these
programs.
So,
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
kerry.
Is
there
anyone
else
in
the
waiting
room.
