Description
The City of Pittsburgh's Office of Equity staff discussed concerns for our vulnerable populations around COVID-19, and how equity remains a top priority during and after the pandemic for Pittsburgh.
A
Thanks
everybody
for
taking
the
time
and
thank
you
to
those
who
may
be
with
us,
live
right
now
in
a
moment
or
watching
this.
After
the
fact,
my
name
is
Josiah
Gilliam
I
work
in
Mayor
Peduto
office
as
the
MBK
coordinator,
and
it's
my
great
privilege
and
pleasure
to
have
a
great
conversation
with
some
really
cool
team
members,
a
book
within
the
mayor's
office
and
in
other
departments.
A
We
wanted
to
take
some
time
to
talk
about
the
implications
for
the
parts
of
city
government
in
the
mayor's
office
that
serve
young
people
and
youth
and
there's
a
lot
to
explore
here.
There's
a
lot
of
intersections.
We
have
some
of
the
the
best
team
members
of
both
indicators
on
these
very
subjects
here
with
us
today.
Just
by
way
of
framing
the
my
brother's
keeper
position
at
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
is
actually
interestingly
aligned
compared
to
the
way
this
work
happens
in
other
parts
of
the
nation.
A
The
way
the
mayor
really
envisioned
it,
along
with
other
leaders,
is
for
the
role
to
be
a
blend
of
the
mayor's
office
in
city
parks.
That's
because
the
work
of
city
parks
is
in
many
ways
public
facing
and
we're
gonna
get
a
chance
to
learn
about
some
of
that
today.
So
without
further
ado,
I'd
like
to
introduce
the
members
of
the
team
that
we
have
with
us
today,
starting
with
Lindsay
Powell
hi,.
C
C
D
E
A
You
so
much,
let's
just
jump
right
in
again.
Thank
you
all
for
taking
your
time,
and
also
we
have
two
ASL
interpreters
with
us
today
that
you'll
see
at
different
times.
We
want
to
thank
them
for
their
time
and
being
with
us
for
this
conversation,
Lindsey
I'd
like
to
start
with
you.
Can
you
talk
about
the
office
of
equity
and
some
of
the
intersections
at
play
with
the
conversation
we're
going
to
have
today,
absolutely.
C
So
the
office
of
equity
was
founded
about
a
year
ago,
at
this
point,
maybe
year
and
a
half
with
the
idea
of
really
focusing
on
people.
So
when
we're
talking
about
equity,
we're
not
thinking
so
much
from
a
neighborhood
perspective,
but
more
so,
how
can
we
pour
into
our
community?
It's
my
residents
to
ensure
that
we're
making
the
office
of
equity
covers
a
myriad
of
different
topics
and
subjects,
including
out-of-school
time,
which
Tiffany
covers
as
well
as
small
business
and
entrepreneurship.
C
The
really
purpose
and
vision
of
the
office
of
equity
again
is
to
ensure
that
we're
thinking
about
equity
in
all
of
its
intersections,
so
not
just
racial
equity,
not
just
gender
equity,
who
I
did
forget
to
mention
I
knew
who
runs
our
gender
equity.
Commission
is
also
seated
in
the
office
of
equity,
but
again
looking
at
equity
from
its
kind
of
intersectional
standpoint
sand
and
onion,
ensuring
that
we're
making
sure
that
all
of
our
residents
are
upheld
and
their
visions
are
upheld
within
our
understanding
of
what
equity
means
for
for
the
city.
A
C
So
I
think
oftentimes
when
people
think
about
equity,
they
think
about
hiring.
So
you
know
making
sure
that
there's
diversity
within
your
ranks
making
sure
that
you're,
that
there's
representation
at
every
level
of
leadership,
but
we're
trying
to
think
more
intentionally
about
what
equity
means
it's
for
us.
What
we
do
are
we
thinking
about
from
how
we
pave
streets
to
how
we
fund
programs
are
we
ensuring
that
we
have
a
racial
activity
lens
on
our
projects
and
programs?
C
Geir,
which
is
the
government
Alliance
on
racial
equity,
has
partnered
with
the
city
and
partnered,
with
the
office
of
equity,
in
particular,
to
help
us
really
go
through
the
department
by
department
ensuring
that
our
programs,
policies
and
procedures
are
all
using
a
racial
equity
lens
and
that
we're
really
centering
that
voice
within
the
work.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
so,
let's,
let's
just
start
to
get
through
some
of
the
buckets
that
you've
mentioned,
Tiffany
I'd
like
to
bring
you
into
the
conversation
you've
been
at
the
mayor's
office
for
some
time
for
the
people
that
don't
know
you
and
your
work,
could
you
just
describe
it
a
little
bit
of
your
back?
Actually,
let
me
let's
just
take
a
pause
real
fast.
First
of
all,
how
are
you
doing
today.
A
Know
we've
been
in
so
many
work
meetings.
I
knew
you
from
my
time
with
the
nonprofit
of
land.
My
mind
immediately
goes
to
work
and
let's
start
talking
about
the
things,
so
thank
you
for
taking
a
moment
to
share
how
you're
doing
yeah.
If
wouldn't
mind,
would
you
mind
just
sharing
your
background
and
how
you
came
to
the
mayor's
office
and
the
work
that
you
do
that
you
do
there
sure.
D
D
I've
been
a
childcare
center
director
run
a
summer
camp
program,
and
the
mayor
has
a
very
strong
commitment
to
early
childhood
and
wanted
to
bring
someone
on
board,
and
that
was
in
support
with
support
of
City
Council
members,
a
Women's
Caucus
City
Council
members
who
wanted
to
push
forward
an
Early
Childhood
agenda.
So
I
joined
the
team
specifically
focusing
on
early
childhood,
which
is
still
the
majority
of
my
work.
D
A
D
So
it's
been
interesting
to
learn
from
childcare
facilities.
Some
of
the
changes
that
they've
had
to
make
in
their
programs
in
terms
of
wearing
masks,
more
hand,
hygiene
cleaning
toys,
all
of
those
sorts
of
things.
It's
very
challenging
to
kind
of
support
social
distancing
with
infants,
toddlers
and
preschoolers,
and
so
I
think
it's
something
that
you
know
as
Allegheny.
County
moves
to
the
yellow
phase
and
child
care
facilities
are
able
to
reopen
without
a
waiver.
D
It's
been
a
learning
experience
to
be
able
to
hear
from
those
providers
who
are
currently
providing
care
and
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
support
child
care
facilities
and
reopening,
because
we
know,
as
the
economy
reopens
families
are
going
to
need.
Childcare
is
somewhere
safe
for
their
kids
to
be
while
they're
working
so.
A
D
So
so
many
folks
that
work
in
childcare
facilities
are
women
and
our
women
of
color,
and
so
it
is
an
industry
of
women
and
so
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
support
those
facilities
in
reopening
to
be
able
to
get
folks
back
to
work
is
extremely
important.
We
know
that
early
child
is
disabled,
really
high
quality.
Early
childhood
programming
is
able
to
really
impact
children
for
their
whole
lives
and
so
kids
that
don't
have
that
access
don't
end
or
enter
kindergarten
kind
of
ready,
social
emotionally
and
academically
to
be
successful.
D
So
we
know
this
is
going
to
be
a
challenge
moving
forward.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
get
kids
back
into
programming
as
soon
as
possible
so
that
they're
able
to
get
early
intervention
services
they're
able
to
get
those
social-emotional
supports
and
that
they
are
able
to
get
those
skills
that
will
help
them
throughout
their
lives.
Appreciate.
A
C
D
D
And
you
know
so
it's
a
really
exciting
program
for
youth
to
be
able
to
get
skills
and
the
the
reality
was
COBIT
is
we
know
it's
gonna
be
very
different
this
year
and
so
partner
for
work
is
the
organization
or
local
Workforce
Investment
Board
actually
handles
the
day-to-day
in
contracting
of
women
earn
and
they're
working
really
hard
to
kind
of
revision.
What
it'll
look
like
this
summer?
It's
still
going
to
be
open.
D
They
will
be
doing
it's
going
to
look
different,
so
we're
looking
at
more
of
an
online
component,
so
youth
will
log
on
at
specific
times.
During
the
day.
Do
some
job
readiness
training,
maybe
we'll
have
them,
engage
with
different
companies
and
businesses
to
look
at.
You
know
maybe
someone's
website,
to
see
how
it
speaks
to
youth.
So
there's
going
to
be
some
work
around
that
and
then
there's
also
going
to
be
some
positions
that
we'll
be
able
to
still
happen
with
social
distancing,
so
maybe
trail,
building
organic
gardening
or
things
that
are
outside
okay,.
A
That's
exciting,
so
if
folks
want
to
get
involved
or
learn
more,
they
can
go
to
the
learn
web
site,
we'll
put
a
link,
and
we
have
our
team
members
on
standby.
Looking
at
the
chat
to
make
sure
resources
are
available
for
folks
in
real
time
and
then
certainly
after
we'll
make
them
available,
but
the
application
through
our
open.
Now
they.
D
Are
open
right
now,
yeah,
and
so
that
and
a
big
challenge
is
a
lot
of
youth,
get
kind
of
recruited
into
the
program
through
in-person
for
community
events
and
school
visits,
and
so
with
coalbed
and
all
the
closures
they
down
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
the
applications.
So
they're
really
looking
to
figure
out
ways
to
engage
youth
now
and
to
get
more
of
those
applications,
and
so
we
are
able
to
place
youth
and
positions.
This
summer,
great.
A
So
you
mentioned
engaging
youth.
Now,
we've
been
working
with
folks
in
public
safety
and
now
the
mayor
as
well
on
a
really
cool
lease
I
think
it's
cool
reading
initiative
and
the
mayor
in
particular,
is
using
the
Dolly
Parton
library
collection.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
that
partnership
came
about
and
and
what
it
is
yeah.
D
So
the
Dolly
Parton
Imagination
Library
program
has
been
in
existence
for
about
20
years.
We
joined
on
as
an
affiliate
last
year,
so
actually
last
June
was
our
first
mailing
month
and
it's
been
extremely
successful.
So
what
we
do
as
an
affiliate
is
we
enroll
families
do
the
outreach
and
we
actually
pay
for
the
children
to
use
the
program.
So
it's
totally
free
any
child
that
resides
within
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
D
They
have
to
have
a
mailing
address
within
the
city
and
is
under
the
age
of
five,
is
eligible
and
they
receive
a
book
mailed
directly
to
their
home
every
month
until
they
turn
five
and
the
books
are
really
great.
I
have
a
little
example
book,
so
this
is.
This
is
a
very
popular
one,
but
they
are
wonderful
books.
They
come
address
to
the
child,
and
so
it
comes
in
the
child's
name
and
there's
a
lot
of
excitement.
D
We've
heard
from
families,
just
how
excited
kids
are
to
get
their
books
every
month
and
we've
sent
out
where
you
know
in
next
month
will
be
a
year
we've
been
in
existence.
We've
sent
out
a
little
over
27,000
books
to
children
in
the
city
and
we
have
about
2800
children
that
are
currently
enrolled
in
the
program,
and
so
we
are
always
looking
for
more
kids
to
sign
up.
It's
very
easy.
The
application
process
takes
about
maybe
two
minutes.
You
just
need
the
child's
name:
parents
name
address
date
of
birth.
That
sort
of
thing.
D
A
D
Looking
at
ways
to
outreach
so
we're
exploring
putting
some
signage
and
bus,
shelters
and
new
ways
to
get
the
word
up.
We
do
a
lot
also
similar
to
learn.
We
do
a
lot
of
in-person
community
if
there
there's
things
like
that
that
happened
over
the
summer,
so
we're
definitely
looking
at
new
ways
to
engage
families
with
those
large
gatherings
being
canceled.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
all
right.
Let's
keep
with
the
theme
of
programming
and
youth
engagement,
bring
in
Catherine
Vargas
Catherine
you're,
someone
that
I
met
when
I
was
working
in
non-profit
land
here
in
Pittsburgh
and
we've
been
friends,
says
how
we
work
together
in
many
ways
on
the
same
team
here
at
the
city.
For
those
that
don't
know
you
could
you
introduce
yourself
and
the
role
that
you
have,
but
before
you
do
that?
How
are
you
doing
today?
I'm.
B
B
So
I
my
background
is
in
social
work.
I
got
my
masters
in
social
work
at
Pitt
and
I've
since
then,
been
mostly
focused
on
youth
programs.
I
worked
in
out-of-school
time.
Programs
ran
out
of
school
time.
Programs
helped
to
grow
partnerships
around
those
same
youth
serving
programs
and
I've
done
a
lot
of
work,
around
quality
work
and
professional
development
for
providers.
So
that's
where
my
heart
is
in
those
things
that
impact
young
people
and
particularly
the
way
community,
can
come
together
and
play
a
role
in
the
lives
of
young
people.
B
I
think
it's
a
really
important
time.
Kids
spend
a
lot
of
time
outside
of
school
buildings
and
outside
of
you
know,
different
buildings
and
so
there's
a
whole
community
of
organizations
that
are
playing
a
really
important
role
in
supporting
young
people,
and
so
I
came
to
the
city.
You
know
what
really
attracted
me
to
the
work
I
get
to
do
now.
Is
that
I'm
still
part
of
that
community?
A
So
we'll
get
to
some
of
the
the
buckets
of
ongoing
activity
at
the
city.
We
have
a
really
unique,
so
ignorant
mention
this
idea
of
the
community
and
all
the
organizations
that
work
in
partnership
and
you've
been
a
ball
with
partnerships
and
networks
and
books
like
that.
Can
you
just
describe
the
folks
that
might
not
be
as
familiar
with
say
the
non
out-of-school
time
or
nonprofit
space
in
Pittsburgh?
What
the
landscape
looks
like
here
in
Pittsburgh
when
you
say
you're
still
part
of
that
community.
What
is
that
community
so.
B
That
community,
it's
it's,
it's
a
lot
of
different
types
of
organizations.
You
know
it's
faith-based
groups
that
might
be
running
out
of
school
time,
programs
or
summer
programs.
It's
larger
organizations.
You
know
like
a
Boys,
&,
Girls
Club.
That
would
run
obstacle
time.
Programs,
it's
you,
know
everything
from
community-based
to
large
national
nonprofits.
You
know
it's!
It's
a
pretty
wide
variety
of
faces
that
you
would
see
in
terms
of
who
actually
facilitates
programming
and
is
for
all
ages.
You
know
out-of-school
time.
B
Programs
are
typically
that
school-aged
period,
but
you
know
you've
got
programs
that
are
very
specific
to
certain
types
of
work.
You
know
something
like
robotics
or
or
stem,
or
there
might
be
programs
specifically
about
girls
in
STEM
like
the
YWCA
facilitates.
So
it's
a
pretty
wide
network,
and
you
know
if
you're
really,
you
know
you
can
connect
to
a
lot
of
variety
of
types
of
programs
by
exploring
you
know,
what's
out
there
with
a
Pittsburgh's
youth
serving
community,
it's
it's
a
it's,
a
big
community
of
providers
that
are
playing
this
role.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
so
much
so,
let's
talk
about
the
city,
so
you've
made
the
transition
to
the
public
sector
here
and
are
still
working
with
community
partners
and
and
those
organizations.
But
there's
there
are
entities
within
city
government
that
have
programming.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
your
role
covers
and
what
you're
focused
on
day
to
day
sure.
B
Yeah,
so
on
our
community
youth
side.
Well,
first
of
all,
I
mentioned
that
the
city
parks
department
focuses
both
on
youth
and
children
and
older
adults.
So
we
facilitate
programming
in
places
that
bring
those
communities
together,
specifically,
we
have
ten
recreation
centers
where
we
do
I'm.
After
school
summer
programs,
we
have
an
aquatic
department,
we
run
youth
sports
leagues.
We
have
the
art,
cart
and
a
lot
of
festivals
that
happen
here
around
a
community
enrichment.
We
have
a
summer
foods
program
and
a
school.
B
A
Makes
sense
so
so
city
parks
is
parks
and
recreation
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
That's
for
those
that
may
not
know.
That's
like
our
our
way
of
saying
it
when
you,
when
you're
thinking
about
what
happens
in
these
spaces
that
that
literally
hold
community
and
have
programming
within
them.
What
are
important
terms
or
concepts
that
you
try
to
keep
in
mind
with
the
work
that
you
do
so.
B
I
would
say
one
we've
already
talked
about
a
little
bit
but
out-of-school
time
learning
and
what
that
can
mean
you
know
in
our
spaces
we
have
both
kind
of
traditional
after-school.
You
know
where
someone
might
sign
up
and
be
part
of
a
program,
but
we
also
have
informal.
You
know
learning
happening
all
the
time.
B
Our
rec
centers
have
gym
equipment,
they
have
programming,
that's
offered
to
community
members,
even
beyond
young
people,
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
think
about
out-of-school
time,
we're
thinking
about
a
pretty
broad
definition
of
what
that
means
and
then
also
partnership.
You
know
we
are
always
looking
at
how
we
can
partner
with
others
to
enhance
what
we're
doing
and
what
we
find
in
a
lot
of
our
recreation
spaces.
Are
the
partners
who
come
in
and
use
those
spaces
as
well
for
community
meetings
or
for
different
gatherings.
B
Those
spaces
are
there
for
the
community
to
utilize
in
that
purpose.
That
way
as
well
and
then
I'll
also
say
you
know,
maybe
a
Summer
Food
Program,
because
it's
such
a
huge
list
of
what
the
city
does
I
think
that
it
actually
goes
a
little
unnoticed.
Most
summers:
just
last
summer,
we
we
handed
out
120,000
meals
to
young
people
across
the
city,
in
partnership
with
40
organizations,
including
our
sites.
We
were
at
80
sites
across
the
city
to
make
sure
that
young
people
have
access
to
nutrition
in
the
summertime.
B
A
You
for
for
mentioning
that,
because
that's
part
of
these
Kovach
realities
has
been
you
know
a
pivot
to
how
can
we
do
these
food
distributions
on
an
ongoing
basis
if
you've
been
one
of
the
spoke
to
the
tip
of
the
spear
I've
had
the
good
opportunity
to
join
you
for
a
couple
of
them
so
far,
I
hope
they're
more
in
my
future.
Can
you
speak
about
the
COBIT
realities
and
how
about
pivot
has
taken
place
and
what
that's
looked
like?
Definitely.
B
You
know,
even
before
we
were
on
a
stay
at
home
order,
we
were
already
working
with
Lindsay
and
others
to
talk
about
how
we
can
make
sure
we
were
part
of
the
solution
when
it
came
to
emergency
food
need
the
summer.
Free
program
doesn't
usually
start
until
the
closer
to
the
end
of
June,
so
we
needed
to
actually
apply
for
an
emergency
waiver
and
what
we
did
is
we
looked
at
sort
of
the
landscape
of
where
food
we
knew.
B
You
know
where
we
knew
food
was
going
to
be
delivered
and
accessible,
and
we
looked
at
the
sites
that
we
could
facilitate,
where
there
were
gaps
in
that,
so
that
we
were
complementing
the
overall
landscape
of
food
distribution.
That's
happening
for
kids
in
the
city,
so
we
are
currently
at
five
sites.
The
site
that
I
get
to
work
at
is
pulse
and
Recreation
Center,
which
is
in
the
Lincoln
limited
community,
and
it's
been
it's
been
wonderful,
I
mean
you
know
in
our
site.
B
We
typically
have
about
a
hundred
meals
that
will
give
out
at
for
every
day
that
we're
out
there,
you
really
get
to
start
to
kind
of
know.
The
consistent
faces
of
people
who
really
are
relying
on
on
this
access
to
food
for
kids,
it's
a
stress
reliever
for
parents.
It's
an
important
way
that
kids
are
accessing
nutrition
and
what
we've
also
noticed
is
that
you
know
we've
had
the
community
come
out
and
be
a
part
of
what
we're
doing
at
the
food
sight.
So
we've
had
donations
of
school
supplies
from
the
Education
Partnership.
B
A
A
great
idea,
a
great
concept,
or
example,
of
how
local
government
and
just
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
can
be
nimble
even
in
a
crisis
you're
talking
about
getting
an
idea
of
the
landscape
of
food
distribution.
Looking
at
where
there
are
gaps
like
most
facilities
are
in
play
to
activate
them
for
this
purpose,
but
then
it's
not
just
about
making
the
connections
with
food.
A
The
consistency
in
the
faces
that
you
see
I
remember
the
last
time
I
was
with
you
a
member,
a
leader
of
a
like
a
local
consortium
was,
was
there
just
talking
with
us
about
the
history
of
Lincoln,
lemming,
tainha,
history
of
the
community
and
the
organizations
that
have
been
there
for
decades
and
was
doing
their
own
food
drive
as
well
or
trying
to
be
extra
resources
for
neighbors?
So
it's
really
it's
just
a
wonderful
wonderful
season.
In
that
respect,
is
you
look
forward?
A
B
B
One
thing
that
we
know
for
sure
is
that
our
food
distribution
will
expand
from
where
we
are
currently
to
to
our
centers,
as
the
state
rolls
out
its
summer
program.
It's
that's
one
place
of
opportunity
where
we
know
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
reach
fat
continued
to
reach
kids
and
families
and
be
able
to
serve
so
we're.
B
Looking
at
those
as
opportunities
and
we're
also
looking
at
partnerships
with
others,
you
know:
we've
had
a
couple
of
partners
reach
out
around
ways
that
we
can
get
really
creative
about
how
we
can
best
serve
kids
in
this
time.
We're
not
100%
sure
you
know
what
we'll
be
able
to
open,
but
we've
been
planning
for
all
of
it.
A
From
the
organization
or
from
the
department,
I
should
say
max
I'd
like
to
turn
to
you,
man,
because
I
mean
we
talk
about
programming
and
engaging
with
youth.
You've
been
at
the
tip
of
the
spear
here
at
the
city,
since
we
both
joined,
we're
all
for
both
relatively
new
here
as
city
government,
but
I'd
like
to
get
a
little
bit
more
from
your
background,
how
you've
engaged
with
you
look
before
we
get
there.
However,
how
are
you
doing
today,
I'm
doing.
E
Well,
you
know
just
suggesting,
like
everyone
else,
to
the
kovat
situation,
getting
used
to
zoom
cause
continually
during
the
day,
but
you
know
to
be
healthy
and
be
able
to
even
be
on
a
zoom
call
and
be
able
to
continue
to
work
is
really
the
the
important
thing
right.
Just
stand,
save
keeping
your
mind
busy
and
and
continuing
to
work
is
as
the
blessing
so
I'm
doing.
Well,
yes,.
A
E
So
my
background
is
largely
in
education,
but
if
you
wanted
to
just
kind
of
synthesize,
my
career
I've
always
been
interested
since
my
university
days
and
crushing
the
education
gap
and
the
quickest
way
to
crush
poverty
or
if
we're
gonna,
dressed
equity
or
anything
like
that
is,
it
was
always
to
crush
education
like
if
we
can,
if
we
can,
the
education
gap
to
me
is
what
causes
poverty.
So
we
can
address
that
and
in
a
quickest
way,
then
we
can
start
to
create
sustainable
living
for
young
people.
E
So
I've,
always
since
a
very
young
man
been
interested
in.
How
do
we
address
the
education
gap
so
that
we
can
get
people
and
good
jobs
the
sustainable
living,
and
that
has
led
me
through
education
and
public
schools,
also
working
with
kids
and
youth
programming.
But
ultimately,
you
know
I
always
tell
people.
E
My
aha
moment
was
when
I
was
introduced
to
tech,
because
I
had
seen
so
many
people
who
had
no
education,
no
cultural
background
of
computers
literally
take
a
trajectory
of
sustainability
in
a
year
a
year
and
a
half,
and
for
me
it
was
like
this.
Is
it
so
when
I
will
go
back
to
my
community
and
I
would
work
with
the
kids
I?
Would
you
know
everything
I've
ever
read
or
come
across
I
would
go
back
to
the
kids
and
say:
hey?
Do
you
know
about
artificial
intelligence?
Do
you
know
about
coding?
E
Do
you
know
about
machine
learning
and
when
answers
was
no,
you
know
I
just
felt
like
it
was
something
I
needed
to
be
addressed.
So
that's
pretty
good.
Much
been
my
mantra
for
the
last
five
years.
Let's
address
tech
is
the
future.
We
know
that
all
the
jobs
in
the
future
in
some
way
will
be
surrounded
by
tech
which
ultimately
brings
kids
or
individuals
back
to
some
type
of
programming
coding.
So
I
wanted
to
address
the
education
gap
in
that
way.
If
we
could
get
kids
into
tech,
then
we
could
get
them
into
sustainable
jobs.
E
Fifty
sixty
thousand
dollar
jobs,
eighty
thousand
dollar
jobs,
and
then
they
could
come
back
and
Center
community,
and
we
can
you
know
it
just
addresses
everything
across
the
map
so
yeah
that
pretty
much
brought
me
to
the
city,
there's
so
many
more
resources,
so
many
more
children.
We
have
a
think
over
600
kids,
we
have
10
recreational
centers
and
when
the
opportunity
presented
itself
you
know
I
was
all
for
it.
E
My
goal
was
still
the
same
to
get
as
many
young
inner-city
children,
women
into
programming
for
people
who
may
not
know
that
maybe
watching
less
than
7%
of
the
tech
industry
as
women
or
people
of
color
minorities,
black
and
brown.
So
when
we
talk
about
diversity,
when
we
talk
about
equity,
these
are
things
that
need
to
be
addressed.
E
A
Can
you
talk
about
what
the
approach
is
to
take
it
from
this
theoretical
conversation
of
you
know
TAC,
and
these
these
terms
to
working
with
individual
youth
who
touch
on
something
already,
which
is
you
bring
it
back
to
them
and
ask
them
what
they're
interested
in
what
they're
aware
of.
But
can
you
talk
about
how
your
approach
with
individual
uses
has
taken
shape
at
the
city?
Yes,.
E
I
I
pretty
much.
My
approach
has
always
been
deductive
and
thinking
about
the
kids
first
so
like
when
I
sit
down
with
children.
I
want
to
know
what
they're
interested
in
what
they
want
to
do,
what
they
want
to
make
and
many
times
you
know,
they're
using
technology
and
not
understanding
what
they're
using,
for
instance,
the
first.
When
we
do
courses,
we
were
able
to
do
a
few
cohorts
this
year
at
post
and
Warrington,
but
the
first
thing
I
start
the
children
off
with
is
I.
Ask
them
when
you're
texting.
E
Somebody
and
those
three
boxes
come
up
right
after
you
text
you,
you
don't
even
understand
it,
but
it's
actually
an
algorithm
in
there
and
when
you
say
a
word
so
many
times,
the
computer
can
almost
guess
what
you're
gonna
say.
Next.
So
if
you
say
I
love
you
mom
everyday
by
that
fifth
day,
when
you
type
I,
love
is
in
one
of
those
three
boxes
at
the
bottom
and
I
explain
to
them.
This
is
these.
This
is
an
algorithm,
but
this
is
AI.
E
The
computer
is
actually
able
to
guess
what
you're
going
to
say
to
your
mother
or
your
friends
or
whoever
you're
texting,
and
we
can
create
something
similar
to
this.
We
can
treat
it
okay,
you
know,
how
can
you
make
this
better?
How
could
you
make
this
and
it's
so
interesting
when
you
work
with
the
kids,
to
hear
their
answers
because
they
do
specifically
I.
Remember
one
kid
telling
me
I
can
make
a
better
ass
phone
and
Steve
Jobs.
You
know
you
know.
E
Those
type
of
answers
are
way
excite
me
because
I
think
kids
are
interested
in
technology.
It's
just
the
ability
to
be
exposed
to
it,
the
ability
to
work
with
it
and
a
way
that
matters
to
them.
You
know
so
we
have
more
dealing
with
kids
were
athletics.
Can
we
build
an
application
around
you
playing
sports?
Can
we
build
an
application
around?
You
know:
music.
Videos.
E
Hip-Hop
is
a
very
important
thing
to
a
lot
of
our
kids
or
music
in
general
building
applications
and
websites
around
what
they
are
actually
interested
to
can
be
a
great
segue
into
them
actually
being
competent
in
the
larger
tech
world,
because
no
matter
what
color,
where
you
live,
everybody's
playing
call
of
duty,
everybody's
playing
a
video
game
or
some
type
of
using
some
type
of
video
game
system.
Is
you
know
when
you're
that
young,
so
much
is
similar.
You
know,
but
what's
not
usually
similar
is
the
ability
to
exposure
to
high
level.
E
You
know
some
kids
have
a
Mac
computer
in
their
home
that
they
can
easily
access.
So
some
people
have
no
computer.
So
those
are
the
things
you
know
when
we
talk
about
equity,
that
we
in
the
digital
divide
that
we
really
need
to
address
is
just
to
make
sure
that
kids
have
a
somewhat
fair
chance
on
accessing
the
same
type
of
technology,
the
same
type
of
opportunity
so
that
they
can
think
about
making
similar
or
the
same
type
of
decisions.
I
love.
A
That's
these,
how
I
know
it
where
you
can
choose
from
boxes
likely
next
to
cut
down
on
it
and
a
little
bit
example
because
you're
bringing
it
to
their
everyday
experience,
something
that
they're
interested
in
and
sometimes
that
will
have
conversations
max
you've
been
so
many
of
these
and
the
adults,
the
smart
people
and
you
know
the
well
resource
they
want
to
talk
about
the
curriculum
they've
already
developed,
or
the
experience
they've
already
figured
out
for
the
kid
and
it's
about
how
do
we
get
the
kids
in
this
and
you're?
What
I
hear
your
approach?
E
Absolutely
you
know
we,
we
have
a
framework,
but
within
the
framework
we
want
the
kids
that
kind
of
dictate
what
they're
interested
in
and
then
go
from
there,
because
you
know
when
it
comes
applications
or
apps
or
websites.
You
can
build
literally
whatever
you
want,
you
could
build
stores
cash
registers.
It's
interesting
to
see.
You
know
we
dealt
with
a
group
of
kids
and
Phillips's.
There
was
a
young
lady
who
was
very
business
minded.
E
You
know
she
was
interested
in
how
could
I
charge
for
candy,
and
we
you
know
we
can
help
her
build
a
calculator
to
determine
that.
So
you
never
know.
What's
gonna
come
out
of
a
young
person's
mouth
I
mean
literally.
If
it
can
be
anything
from
one
guy
said
he
wanted
to
upload
all
of
his
music
and
and
and
he
could
do
a
better
media
player
for
it
and
what
he
was
used
to.
Those
are
the
cool
things
that
I
like
to
address
with
them.
E
A
E
A
Polson
we
we
the
language,
so
let
me
start
with
the
languages,
so
we
did
HTML,
CSS
and
JavaScript.
This
was
many
of
their
first
time.
Having
exposure,
we
did
the
classes
on
Saturdays.
The
cool
thing
about
posting
was:
it
was
a
Saturday
right,
so
most
kids
want
to
go
party
and
play
or
just
go
have
fun,
but
these
kids
showed
up
every
weekend.
They
were
on
time.
E
Sometimes
they
were
for
us
sitting
outside
playing
waiting
the
work
hard
and
again
we
so
we
started
a
there's,
actually
pictures
on
our
wreck
site,
but
we
work
with
their
interests.
One
young
lady
was
in
the
poetry,
so
she
was
really
heavily
into
playing
with
fonts
and
different.
It's
shaping
her
poems
differently,
and,
although
it
wasn't,
the
project
I
specifically
wanted
her
to
work
on.
It
was
just
cool
to
see
her
engage,
so
it
was
like
there
would
be
times
where
she
would
have
both
boxes
open.
E
You
know
kind
of
something
that
says
notes
may
do
like
have
your
real
work
and
what
you
really
want
to
work
on
in
two
different
tabs,
but
you
know
just
seeing
her
become
interested
in
it.
In
it,
and
and
and
at
end
of
the
process,
understanding
the
process
of
creating
an
application
was
really
cool
and
what
I
like
to
do
is
kind
of
slip.
You
know
with
the
medicine
in
the
candy,
so
many
of
our
lessons
are
around
core
principles.
E
E
There
was
a
calculator
game,
battleship
game,
just
a
few
different
things
that
the
kids
would
be
interested
in,
but
for
them
to
for
us
to
be
their
first
time
and
be
exposed
to
coding.
It
was
really
a
cool
thing
to
see
how
engaged
they
were,
how
hungry
you
were
to
continue
to
learn
many,
even
though
it
was
a
Saturday
we'll
stay
later
and
continue
to
work
on
her
projects.
That's.
A
You
know
max
when
I
think
about
buckets
of
City
activity
that
are
already
well
relatively
well,
positioned
to
to
pivot,
virtually
or
to
kind
of
exist,
and
then
post
COBIT,
normal
yours
comes
to
mind
because
you
can
engage
with
youth
around
the
same
kind
of
projects
so
long
as
the
technology.
The
infrastructure
is
in
place
to
make
that
happen,
and
yet
your
work
specifically
is
in
very
many
very
many
ways
at
this
digital
divide
at
this
level
of
where
are
the
resources
to
bring
to
bear
so
that
folks
have
these
opportunities?
A
Maybe
it
is
inviting
folks
to
a
rec
center,
but
then
what
are
also
ways
to
MIT
to
ensure
there's
technology
present.
You
know
for
the
young
people
and
stuff
like
that
and
max
we
talked
about
this
before
a
lot
of
the
jobs
in
the
future.
Even
the
ones
that
haven't
quite
yet
been
designed
yet
will
likely
require
some
of
these
very
fundamentals
that
you're
talking
about
the
the
understanding
of
the
infrastructure
and
the
architecture,
whether
that
is
coding
or
web
design
or
whatever
the
case
may
be.
A
When
my
question
to
you
is
for
for
business
leaders
or
for
leaders
in
general
that
are
trying
to
figure
out,
you
know
what
to
do
about
these
digital
divide
kind
of
concepts,
given
your
relationship
with
actual
young
people
and
our
track
record
of
engaging
them
specifically,
what
what
the
success
really
look
like?
How
would
you
encourage
I'm
going
to
go
about
being
a
part
of
the
solution
in
that
success?
A
E
E
So
we
still
have
a
huge
gap
and
there's
so
much
opportunity
and
there's
an
ability
if
we
really
apply
ourselves
to
use
this
young
talent
who's
hungry.
You
know
you
we
can
address
so
many
issues
by
just
engagement,
so
I
would
just
say
be
intentional
about
engagement,
reach
out
to
someone
like
myself.
E
Katherine
Tiffany
and
and
engage
us
because
you
know
youth
programming
can
start
as
young
as
three
years
old.
You
know
you
can
be
doing
concept
based
coding,
there's
ways
to
engage
kids,
so
I
would
just
say
be
intentional
about
that,
and
some
organizations
have
so
quick
kudos
to
those
organizations.
But,
ultimately,
you
know
we're
all
gonna
get
old
and
somebody's
gonna
have
to
fill
these
positions
in
these
jobs,
so
the
faster
we
can
engage
these
youth,
the
better
off
the
future,
is
and
just
quickly
I'll
be
brief.
We've
been
Catherine
spoke
about
it.
A
bit.
E
We've
been
preparing
for
both
ways
as
far
as
addressing
the
digital
divide,
so
we
have
some
things
like
we're:
creating
package
for
coding.
If
you
don't
have
access
to
a
computer
and
we're
also
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
manage
programming,
because
many
kids
are
at
home
and
don't
have
you
know
they
have
their
schoolwork.
But
after
that
there's
many
hours
with
the
way
the
pandemic
is
to
work.
E
A
Well
said:
if
there
are
opportunities,
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
seek
them
out
and
be
intentional
about
them,
especially
as
it
relates
to
gauging
with
young
people,
to
your
point,
I
want
to
bring
the
rest
of
the
team
in.
Can
we
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
digital
Harbor
partnership
max
I
know,
you've
been
very
involved.
This
feel
free
to
kick
us
off
if
it
makes
sense,
but
you
mentioned
this
idea
of
partnerships
folks
tree
reaching
out
and
different
people
kind
of
playing
a
role.
E
So
I
can
start
it
off.
When
I
came
in.
You
know
we
came
around
the
same
time.
Well,
I
was
a
little
bit
behind
you,
but
around
that
same
period
of
time
we
had
an
opportunity
to
work
with
digital
Harbor
out
of
Baltimore.
They
create
teen
tech
spaces
at
the
time
assistant
power
was
very
gracious
and
she
was
actually
controlling
much
of
this.
So
she
knows
much
of
the
beginning
of
the
story.
E
C
Incredibly,
gracious,
but
essentially
what
we
did
was
we
had
an
opportunity
to
apply
for
funding
from
digital
Harbor.
They
are
kind
of
one
of
the
originators
of
changing
recreation,
centers
to
tech
spaces,
so
write
to
tech,
as
we
lovingly
call
it
here
in
Pittsburgh,
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
as
well
as
several
other
organizations,
including
remate
learning,
as
well
as
Sean
Luther's
organization
in
Oakland,
innovate
labs.
We've
been
working
together
to
kind
of
figure
out
exactly
what
a
the
first
generation
of
recta
tech
box
like.
C
How
can
you
really
rethink
that
our
rec
centers
as
phases
for
workforce
development,
for
innovation
getting
away
from
kind
of
traditional?
You
know
basketballs
and
hot
meals?
We
still
do
that,
but
we
can
add
much
more
to
those
spaces
so
Macs
and
a
team
of
us
in
the
city
as
well
as
community
partners.
That
I
mean
came
together
and
think
about
a
proposal.
We
be
20
cities
and
won
a
substantial
grant
to
start
to
do
that
work.
Our
rec
centers
are
beautiful
facilities
that.
D
E
C
A
little
older
than
what
we've
seen
in
other
cities,
and
so
it's
been
a
mix
of
a
facilities
issue
I'm
trying
to
bring
these
buildings
that
were
built
in
the
1960s.
You
know
into
2020,
but
then
also
a
programming
issue
of
how
he
has
max
at
thinking
about
using
stem
and
STEM
education
within
these
spaces.
So
we
started
to
Jefferson
rec
in
the
north
side,
we're
looking
to
expand
both
again
the
facilities
aspect
of
it
as
well
as
the
programming
and
there's
a
lot
to
be
done.
But
we're
excited
about
how
forward.
B
I
just
wanted
to
also
mention
you
know:
I
came
in
at
the
very
tail
end
of
that
project,
but
what
I
got
to
see
is
how
you
know
that
the
city
we
were
able
to
leverage
a
large
investment
in
facilities,
infrastructure
improvements
to
Jefferson,
which
is
a
rec
center.
That
definitely
benefited
greatly
from
that
you
know,
and
then
the
money
from
digital
Harbor
coming
in
to
help
us
really.
You
know,
create
the
kind
of
tech
space
that
that
you
know
Max
and
Lindsay
described.
B
You
know
that's
part
of
the
equity
work
that
we're
doing
one
of
the
things
that
right
when
I
jumped
on
as
well.
We
started
to
look
at
the
the
work
that
gare
does
with
others
in
the
equity
office
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
decided
as
a
department.
We
put
together
our
care
plan
in
partnership
with
the
equity
office
team,
and
we
really
wanted
to
look
at
how
we
were
making
decisions
about
where
to
invest
and
and
what
to
invest
in.
B
B
So,
what's
really
great
about
digital
harbors,
I
see
it
as
a
way
of
you
know,
Jefferson
becoming
one
of
those
sites,
or
we
could
really
start
to
see
what
happens
when
we
we
leverage
investments,
we
work
with
partners
and
we're
able
to
really
create
a
significant
resource
for
the
community
that
that
helps
to
promote
equity,
particularly
in
the
digital
access
space.
So
it's
been
a
really
cool
project
to
be
part
of
I'm
excited
that
moving
forward.
A
It
truly
is
wonderful
because
again
so
much
of
this
conversation
can
remain
esoteric
is,
if
you
think
about
like
a
panel
at
a
conference,
it's
it
could
be
high-level
and
you're
talking
about
the
history
in
the
context
and
that
all
has
its
place.
The
thing
I
love
about
being
on
the
Parks
team
and
on
the
mayor's
office
team
is
that
when
you
get
down
to
the
level
of
the
city
or
save
rec
centers,
it
starts
to
be
relatively
manageable
coverage,
you're
talking
about
10
locations
and
then
there's.
A
This
idea
of
you
know
with
MBK,
as
equity.
Lens
of
thinking
will
get
programming,
one
of
the
first
things
max
and
I
did
together
we
went
to
Jefferson
rec
center
and
it's
a
it's
a
small
rec
center.
It
was
built
a
long
time
ago.
There
have
been
so
there's
a
substantial
investment
to
upgrade
the
facility
when
we
were
walking
in
there.
But
the
result:
it's
also
a
space
where,
whether
it's
you
know
we
work,
the
Tiffany
does
max
now,
Katherine,
there's,
there's
there's
program
and
taking
out
taking
place.
A
You
got
summer
camp
activity,
you
have
a
Miss
Pam
knows
like
the
kids,
specifically
like
the
names
and
their
histories
and
years
of
working
with
them
and
getting
to
know
them
and
I
met.
I
went
and
talked
with
her
she's
talking
with
me
about
team
members
issues
that
they
face,
individual
youth
issues
that
they
face
max
comes,
and
we
engage
directly
with
the
youth
about
what
they're
into
and
I
got
to
see
it.
A
Firsthand
I
was
one
of
the
first
time
where
I
was
so
impressed
with
the
reality
of
gaming
for
these
young
people
it
was
boys
and
girls
I'm
so
excited
to
raise
her
hand
and
talk
to
us
about
the
games
that
they
were
playing
right
now,
you're
talking
about
these
disabilities
infrastructure,
the
facilities
is
getting
improved.
Here's
from
another
sector
resources
for
the
programming
that's
taking
place
in
that
rec
center
in
direct
response
to
the
feedback
being
gained
and
by
those
supports
and
investment
from
different.
A
B
Yeah
I
mean
that'sthat's
right
on
that's
exactly
kind
of
how
the
process
works
and
I
think
it
also
speaks
to
how
we
work
internally,
as
as
a
city,
you
know
it
involves
Department
of
Public
Works.
It
involves
innovation
and
performance
and
involves
the
mayor's
office.
It
involves
city
parks
and
its
really.
B
You
know
how
we
are
able
to
kind
of
all
work
together
to
actualize
the
concept
that
is
reka
tech
in
it,
and
it's
it's
to
match
this
credit
to
the
fact
that
we
have
invested
in
having
a
digital
equity
coordinator
in
our
department
is
really
significant,
and
it
really
does
keep
us
focused
on
that
being
a
priority
of
our
of
our
work.
We
do
for
work,
yeah.
E
I
would
just
add
to
that.
You
know
one
of
the
really
cool
things
about
being
at
the
city
is
the
ability
to
bounce
ideas
about
what
really
works
for
community.
For
me,
you
know
much
of
my
work
prior
to
coming
to
the
city.
Is
you
got
to
make
decisions
on
your
own?
You
really
have,
colleagues
that
you
can
say
you
think
this
is
gonna
work.
You
kind
of
just
wrap
things.
Throw
paint
against
the
wall
hope
it
sticks,
but
since
I've
been
at
the
city,
you're
able
to
have
so
many
good
driving
conversations.
E
So
many
people
helped
myself
with
the
digital
Harbor
grant.
Of
course,
chief
pal
Oliver
Beasley
Katherine
came
and
helped
still
to
do
director
Chapman
that
she
spoke
about
earlier.
There
were
so
many
moving
parts
to
that
and
just
getting
people's
opinion,
and
how
can
we
best
address
this
so
how
can
best
utilize
this
money
as
one
of
the
biggest
things?
That's
been
a
help
for
me
since
abacus
is.
A
Extraordinary
one
of
the
things
I,
remember
and
I've
had
felt
impressed
to
say
to
you
the
couple
times
directly.
Is
this
idea
that's
hard
to
communicate
quite
frankly,
but
I
try
to
encourage
them
that
there
are.
There
are
things
aligning
in
your
favor
and
there
are
people
that
you
might
not
be
familiar
with
that
are
working
hard
so
that
the
future
unfolds
in
your-
and
this
is
a
great
example
I.
A
Think
of
that,
where
the
young
people
will
continue
to
benefit
infrastructurally
programmatically
in
terms
of
access,
perhaps
even
in
terms
of
Technology
over
time,
because
as
they
continue
to
show
up
as
they
continue
to
be
a
part
of
the
community
there
and
engage
with
us,
I'd
like
to
bring
this
conversation
to
a
close
I'd
like
for
you
all
to
just
weigh
in
on
what
the
future
looks
like.
What
are
you?
A
E
Guess
I'll
start,
then.
As
far
as
postcode
vid,
we
have
a
lot
of
collaborate.
Excuse
me
collaborations
we're
partnering
with
25
Carrick
we're
also
partnering
with
the
Jewish
Health
Care
Foundation.
As
far
as
on
the
ground
work
again
we're
trying
to
pivot
making
sure
the
kids
still
have
some
type
of
access
to
code
or
some
type
of
computer
programming
access.
So
look
for
some
type
of
cohorts
online
as
well
as,
if
you
do
not
have
a
computer
or
access
to
Wi-Fi.
E
There
will
be
information
packets
in
which
you
can
at
least
go
through
them
and
get
familiar
with
syntax
and
other
coding
things
that
we
would
talk
about
in
general
if
we
were
able
to
have
in-person
classrooms,
so
just
kind
of
stay
tuned,
we're
doing
our
best.
We're
still
going
to
make
sure
the
kids
that
frequent
our
centers
have
some
type
of
access
to
computer
programming
at
some
level.
Thank.
A
B
B
We
need
to
think
about
all
those
important
things
to
make
sure
that
whatever
we
do,
whenever
we're
ready
and
able
to
to
open
back
up
that
we're
ready
to
engage
community
in
the
best
way
possible
and
I
also
want
to
do
a
quick
shout
out.
Just
to
some
of
our
program
supervisors,
who
have
done
an
amazing
job
this
summer,
to
really
make
all
of
all
of
this
planning
happen.
You
know
our
Food
Program
supervisor
hardly
get
minutes
and
an
amazing
job
of
just
trying
to
make
sure
we're
staying
in
line
with
our
food
delivery.
B
Our
rec
supervisors
have
been
out
there
every
day
with
me
and
others
of
the
team
delivering
food
to
kids
and
making
sure
those
sites
are
operational
and
then,
of
course,
our
aquatics
director,
Shelley
tre
lucky
and
our
community
Richmond's
program
supervisor
Nancy
Byrne,
you
know,
has
also
been
doing
a
lot
of
work,
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
can
have
as
great
a
summer
as
possible.
So
look
for
all
of
us
out
there
we're
really
trying
to
do
our
best
to
serve
kids
this
summer
and
beyond.
A
Certainly,
and
definitely
want
to
underscore
the
shout
us
to
the
team,
hello
to
everybody.
We
love
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
city
parks
actually
has.
It
might
be
a
little
bit
biased
here,
but
I
will
acknowledge
it,
one
of
the
best
social
media
presence
in
the
city.
So
do
you
want
to
go
to
Facebook
and
fall
along
and
Twitter
city
parks
to
get
updates
as
well?
You'll
get
a
lot
of
great
information
thanks.
D
So
I
I
think
what
I'm
looking
forward
to
are
looking
forward
to
figuring
out
is
how
we
can
support
those
child
care
and
out-of-school
time
facilities
that
are
interested
in
reopening.
You
know
helping
them
to
identify
funding
opportunities
opportunities
for
materials,
because
we
know,
as
children
go
back
to
care,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
changes
in
terms
of
like
health
screenings
and
safety
and
PPE.
And
how
do
we
work
within
the
city
to
be
able
to
support
them?
D
And
how
do
we
advocate
for
them
in
a
state
and
federal
level
so
that
they
have
the
financial
supports
the
resources
that
they
need
so
that
they
can
reopen
and
that
families
can
return
to
work
and
children
can
attend?
You
can
continue
to
get
that
important
enrichment
and
early
intervention
that
they
need
the
social-emotional
contact
with
their
caregivers
and
other
youth,
so
that
they,
you
know
when
we
get
back
to
normal.
Whatever
that
looks
like
in
the
future
that
they're
getting
this,
those
supports.
D
A
You
mentioned
that
you
know
this
is
an
industry
of
women
and
so
many
respects
we
talk
about
child
care
workers
and
women
of
color,
and
then
you
know
there
are
specific
connections.
Perhaps
we
made
here
when
you
talk
about
the
PPE,
whether
it's
in
public
safety
and
others
any
other
places,
you
would
encourage
people
to
take
a
look
or
to
engage
around
what
resources
might
be
available
for
thing.
D
I
would
direct
folks
to
the
Early
Learning
Resource
Center,
which
is
the
Allegheny
County
resource
for
early
learning,
and
so
they
have
some
directives
around
how
to
stay
safe.
The
CDC
guidelines
they're
able
to
provide
technical
assistance
so
I
do
direct
those
child
care
facilities.
I
know
that
they
are
working
with
organizations
like
global
links
to
identify
materials
that
would
be
needed,
so
they
need
disinfectant
and
some
of
the
things
that
are
harder
to
get
right
now.
D
A
D
Things
like
that
and
we
will
be
launching
in
the
near
future
a
quality
front
and
that
fund
will
enable
child
care
facilities.
If
they
are,
what
happens
is
sometimes
people
get
stuck
at
one
level,
because
there
are
some
investments
that
need
to
be
made
in
the
program
as
well
as
in
the
facility
to
be
able
to
meet
quality
standards.
D
A
You
so
much
just
want
to
you
know
emphasize
for
folks
that
there
are,
there
are
resources
and
resources
coming
in
ways
to
reach
out,
engage
and
and
have
folks
walk
alongside
you
in
your
journey
to
serving
folks
better.
It's
a
it's
a
huge
equity
component
for
us
and
I.
Remember
so
many
of
those
early
and
BK
early
for
me
when
I
first
got
involved
at
BK
conversations
with
you,
Tiffany
were
around
those
Keystone's.
A
C
First
and
foremost,
thank
you
to
everyone.
That's
watching!
Thank
you
to
the
team.
We
have
a
really
dedicated
staff
that
are
invested
in
ensuring
that
our
kids
during
the
summer,
during
the
school
time
in
the
out-of-school
time,
have
the
best
opportunities
that
we're
providing
new
experiences
for
them,
that
we're
able
to
provide
a
nourishment
that
where
there's
resources
were
young
people
and
their
families,
and
so
to
all
of
our
city
parks
workers
to
all
the
sea
workers
across
the
partners
that
worked
in
the
out-of-school
time
in
youth
space.
C
We
want
to
say
thank
you
in
order
to
follow
the
city
to
make
sure
that
you're,
getting
as
many
new
resources
that
we
talked
about,
the
Impala
means
that
we've
no
new
program.
Excuse
me
that
we've
talked
about,
please
be
sure
to
follow
us
on
social
media
as
well.
As
you
know,
Twitter
Facebook,
all
of
those
good
things
we're
trying
to
get
out
the
information
as
much
as
possible,
especially
to
the
families
that
utilize
our
centers
during
the
summer.
C
We're
there
we're
visible
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
again,
our
young
people,
our
youngest
Pittsburghers,
have
as
much
as
as
possible
a
normal
summer.
And
so
again,
thank
you
for
tuning
in.
Thank
you
for
trusting
us
with
your
children
as
well
as
ensuring
that
this
team,
in
particular,
is
able
to
respond
to
the
unique
and
critical
needs
that
our
young
people
face.
So,
thanks
for
being
on
the
call
Thank.
A
You
Lindsay
for
those
watching
a
couple
final
housekeeping
items.
The
next
in
this
ongoing
series
around
commit
and
equity,
will
be
on
Friday
and
will
take
a
special
focus
on
small
businesses
in
the
URA
and
supports
in
that
arena
and
sphere.
Very
much
looking
forward
to
that.
There's
a
lot
of
services
and
resources
that
have
been
recently
made
available,
both
in
response
to
komen,
but
also
before
that
that
folks
may
not
have
had
a
chance
to
hear
directly
from
the
people
working
on
it.
A
You
know
what
those
are
so
stay
tuned
for,
that
more
information
will
be
on
the
mayor's
office,
social
media
related
to
the
details
there
please
continue
to
engage
with
us
on
social
media,
whether
it's
in
the
chat
here
we'll
try
to
be
responsive,
but
just
also
in
general.
The
team
is
pivoted
tremendously
to
make
sure
Lindsay's
point
that
we're
getting
as
much
good
information
out
there
as
it
becomes
available.
A
We
appreciate
people
bringing
resources
and
opportunities
to
our
awareness
that
we
can
share
the
mouth
and
the
patience
as
we
all
try
to
navigate
these
new
normals.
But
as
you
can
tell,
there's
really
smart
dedicated
people
working
on
this
from
diverse
backgrounds
and
perspectives,
and
things
are
moving
along,
so
that's
it
for
us
today.
Thank
you
very
much
and
we'll
see
you
next
time.
