>> i want to acknowledge that supervisor campos was here at this hearing because we do represent a set of different ethnicities. i think it's much more helpful to see the folks that are in the programs because i think it gives us a sense of what the outreach and outcomes are. some of my feedback on how we can do deeper outreach. just sitting here and thinking about what bay vac does, i think maybe we can talk about how bay vac can actually train our cbo's either the staff members or youth leaders spending time in the program to run classes or if they can be the one teaching classes. the one thing that is a barrier if the instructors themselves don't look like you

or aren't from the neighborhoods that they are from. i think being to have an instructor that went from the high school and they stand up here. i know the street you fwru up in. i went to the schools. i think that already takes away one barrier i feel. i think part of the -- i don't want to call it intimidation but feeling it's not your place, your space in not seeing those folks. i think we have amazing organizations who is staff grew up in the neighborhoods that maybe can go to a different place and actually help one the programs from cyc or mow magic. just a couple ideas out there. they already know the youth and they will drive the young people

themselves because they have that relationship alreadiment i think we need to go deeper than outreach. i don't know the to say go to the dbo organizations but we become the folks that live in the communicate. this is a $7 million grant for the next few years and how we spend that money and if there is not enough for what we want it to dorks it's great to have participants here who saw the flyer and walked into bay vac or any of these organizations, but i think we want to see for folks who may not see the flyers. i think that's part of the feedback that they are giving. the second piece i'm saying is it would be great to

get the young folks that were at zen last summer and talk to the folks in the neighborhood about what that experience is for them. and give one example, when i was a youth organizer i had one student really into technology. he was very self motivated and took apart computers and he ended up going to work for microsoft and nous is working he locally in san francisco. it's amazing because in his class, a number of them are now hired in tech companies because of him. just having one friend that grew up in the valley or chinatown when there are job openings when they feel that their friends even if they are not a programmer like he was, he was able to open up jobs. i don't see need to see high numbers. but i know if you hire one person that really grew up in the neighborhood

that they are going to be able to provide the network opportunity that is opportunity. the networking is the most important thing. i do want to thank zen for being here. i was hoping that others could be here today. i think it's important that tech companies who want to partner on this and give us feedback. it not to call them out and say hey, we are investing in your companies, it's really to say how can we help you hire our folks because we are asking to you do it and we have these federal funds and let's make sure we are targeting the helpful ways to get this going. the last thing i will say. it's

been great to work with rhonda and sitting down with sf city. it's gray on a personal level, it's great to work with rhonda's shop, i remember when i was a youth organizer and i also want to recognize the good work that you are doing. we are giving the feedback on what we would like to see better. i have also visited all the other places. i want to see a deeper penetration into the neighborhoods that are harder to get access to. you know i visited our tech companies and this is not a dig at them but you can see when you walk in, the lack of diversity. i see very few african americans, i see very few latinos when you walk into a tech company. i

know it's not the world that they live in so their out reaching to their friends to jobs and it's not a criticism. i just think that if we are talking about how we can improve our city an i get e-mails a lot of times from tech companies in how do we make the neighborhoods safer, how do ideal with homelessness issues. we have to be very real about what it is to really create economic opportunities in our community so they have access to those jobs and employment. that is part of making our neighborhood safer. if we are going to make tenderloin safer, we have to hire people in that neighborhood to figure out what the job opportunities are. i'm sorry we went 2 1/2 hours. i think an important issue. thank you for your time and cospsoring this. thank you

supervisor kim. >> supervisor campos. final words. >> thank you. i'm not going to repeat everything that's been said. i want to thank everyone for the prrgs -- presentation and all the work that has been done and i really appreciate that you are really trying to do a lot with very little. the participants of the program, all of you are inspiring and it was moving to hear your stories and i know that each and everyone of you has a very bright future ahead of you. i just want to make the general comment that what i think is striking about this hearing today is and i was surprised by it is i think as a whole, even though you have some pretty

amazing companies like zen i think this industry is doing very little for creating job opportunity for young people especially the populations that we are talking about. we are talking about 150 people that are now participating in techsf. 26 jobs that have been found with respect to s f city that was handful that did happy new year one individual. it's not a lot when you think about the kind of investment that the city has made in the tech industry. i really hope that this is a wake up call that we need to do more and i have a great deal of faith and the tech industry because i think a lot of it's values are san francisco values. and i hope

that can be reflected in what actually happens in the hiring of people. i do see this hearing as a wake up call because i don't think we are seeing enough from the industry itself. the bulk of the work is being done because we got a federal grant from the federal government that is funding this effort. without that, we wouldn't be where we are. and so, you have companies over night are creating millionaires and yet it just doesn't seem like the results are really there. that's really sad and i think it's sad especially given the kind of investment that the city has made in this industry and i just hope that this changes because clearly the talent is out there. i mean, look at anyone of the ones who spoke, there is talent out there. so i hope that we have a

different reality in a few months because i think it's sad where we are right now. thank you. >> all right. have you very much. supervisor campos made a motion to file this and it second by supervisor katie tang. very much. >> madam chair is there any further business? >> there is no further business. >> we are adjourned. thank you, people.

like to welcome you. we know in 1906 this was ground zero. i want to thank all of you and want to thank our men and women in uniform from our fire department and police department who have sacrificed over the years and been part of our early response system. when the alarm woke me up this morning, i didn't know exactly what was going on and i think that is appropriate because when the earthquake happens there is a great deal of confusion. unlike 1906, we are much better prepared. with that being said, i still have nightmares that at some point in the future we know there is a 2 in 3 probability that the

great one is going to hit us in a few years . i have a grandmother that is not prepared, i have many family members who are not prepared. thank you for san francisco who is ready for the big one. mayor lee is going to be here shortly and he's going to sign a piece of legislation that supervisor wiener and i worked on to make sure the three story soft story buildings that have people living and working in them get repaired. i want to thank many of you and our officials who worked with us to get that done and with that, let me turn it over to my tallest colleague supervisor scott wiener representing the castro valley

and great areas. thanks for being here. >> thank you. in this city we know how to get things done. this is one more example. we are going to be ready for the next one and we are going to rebuild from that one as well. i know we are going to be able to get it done and it's great that we do this every year and i want to say how proud i am that we were able to get this soft story legislation done. earthquake preparedness is never easy, it's always controversial, but we did it. thanks, everyone.
