your packet that lists the sites. and these are locations where youth can come and receive a free meal and snacks so it will be 85 sites across the city, about 4,000 meals per day and they're open to any youth. they don't have to be open to that program that's sponsoring it. we're exciting to be working with the public library to hold a pilot which is a lunch site so students in that neighborhood can attend there for a free lunch. we also work okay the bridge su semester effort, which is a partner with the district and the college to represent students post secondary success and we've had a summer bridge program which targeting some other underrepresented graduates who are plan to go attend city college and provide them with some orientation and training and workshops to help them make that transition to high school to college over the

summer and again target is first generation, college goers from our district. lastly we partner with the library on the check out fa family pack. summer is a time where there's family activities and we encourage families to participate in the learning and this program allows parents to check out attractions across the city such as the zoo and the aquarium by the bay and the science and these passes are available at the library for parents to check out and take their families on, hopefully it would be an exciting learning adventure. here's a quick over view of our activities for the summer. and also in your packet is an an over view of the funding and one of the dock uments we put together around putting together quality and helping -- summer program staff and think about the skills and

capacity that their staff should have to work with our students in a productive way. >> thank you. i appreciate going beyond our hearing request, actually. >> it's great to get the whole universe the of what's happening, it's great to get more information than less. thank you for being here. >> thank you.

>> thank you very much. supervisors and commissioners. my name is glen. i'll give you a summary. he's help to answer any questions you might have.

the summer job plus initiative is a partner ship that the city launched last year with the mayor's office, a number of city departments specifically dcyf and the office of economic and work force development and the united way of the bay area which leads our employer outreach to our partners for the san francisco work with the technical department and our cbo partners working through our youth employer coalition. as you might remember the summer jobs plus was in response to a national call to action made by the obama administration about 18 months ago to provide employment and training in youth opportunities for young people 14-24 throughout the country. our mayor took that challenge very much to heart and in turn challenged our city department, our private sector partners and

our community partners to provide 5,000 opportunities for those 14-24, either training opportunities, inter ships or paid work experience. last summer we held two large events, one was the mayor's job challenge held here in city hall at one 790 jobs were pledged and a second large was our resource event that 500 youth came and got help in training and interview prep and helped to register into our system. last summer, the majority of our opportunities actually came through programs that were funded through our opportunities. they provided the bulk for the training for those 14-18 that the city funds. last summer 25

departments funded these opportunities or serving as internship sites. we had private sector take part and 35 community based organizations work to train, referral and place young people into the program. one of our goals for the initiative overall was to see the summer jobs opportunities and the opportunities in the private sector, the next step for the young people coming through our job training programs. as sandra mentioned through dcyf alone, we'll work with 2,200 young people prepared them for the young people and we saw the private sector piece as a way to transition into. last summer we were able to meet and exceed the challenge that our mayor put out to us, we provided 5204 work experience for young people. on slide is a break down. 2/3 come through

the private sector, or our public sector, excuse me. and 1/3 came through the private sector either through direct job hires or internship provided through the san francisco school district. one of the things that came out which was someone unexpected this was launch as a summer job, but it continued through the summer and became opportunities for young people. the rest of the slide shows the demographics of the students we served and we try to reach those who might have challenges of getting into employment. one of the things to note is the young people we serve, 71 percent came from low income family. >> just looking at the -- i apologize. i'm looking at the age. i saw that you had a

small percentage of 19 to 21 year olds, that took -- participated in summer jobs, how do we work with older students? >> how do we work with them? >> i ask because the district goes to 12 grade and dcyf focused on 17 and under so i was curious how we do that on the slightly older students. >> the reason that there was a larger number of young people over the age of 18, they were in the training program through the district ask through programs funded through the departments such as dcyf. the younger youth was recruited by city college and that's how they accessed those jobs and again because this was a public system it was available for young people city wide so they didn't have to go through those points. i can apply to the system directly. this was the

neighborhoods that we served from the southeast sector but we reached the young people out in every district. so what's next for 2013. last year was our initial launch and launched by the mayor. we got running quickly. we partnered with united way the bay area to implement the summer job initiatives, this year the mayor wants to make this a year round effort and dcyf provided funding for -- put out a request to help manage our summer job and reach out to the private sector year round. the mayor this year based on the success of last year raised the bar for all of us, so he wants to see 6,000 opportunities for

those 16 to 14. and that goes out to the private sector. we build on the success that we had last summer and partnership with oedwe. the mayor held a job challenge on april 30th. and i'll talk about what came out of that challenge. we've developed a new online application system, so it's easier for the young to apply on their own or through the support of our community providers. we're launching something called doorway organizations to increase access points for young people throughout the city, we selected six different nabld base organizations that young people can come, find out about what training is -- or what opportunities are available. get assessed and then refer to either appropriate training if they need that or help in accessing the private sector opportunities. finally we held

a youth fail on may 11th. of the two events i talked about the employer challenge this year held in city haul, 569 jobs were pledged on the spot. in addition to 368 public sector for a total of 218. we're beyond that in terms of the number of jobs. these were pledges and united way is working to followup with these to make sure they're jobs. dcf is working to analyze all the different sector opportunities available for the young people. there were well over 3,000 of those and we want to increase that from last year. and then -- >> i'm sorry mr. commissioner mendosa. >> sorry. >> i apologize. >> and we also received $356,000 in pledges at the

event. that money is used to help support of the operations but also to help subsidized internships for a number of students and young people in the private sector. on may 11th we had a success youth resource fair. thank you commissioner for attending. we went through interview preparation and screening and received workshops on resumes and dress for success and the job search and enroll online on our online system this year. at the event we had a number of volunteers and employers and community based organizations that came out to provide information to young people and over 700 young people are screened for job readiness at the event. so one thing that's new about this year's system is

we've really improved the online community for people to broaden on what's available. the system was launched and is available as a portal for youth, employers and our cbo partners. we've also through the united way created a new tracking system which is where a young person can come on and find out about available opportunities and create a profile and apply to the opportunities directly. one of the things that the system allows us to do is actually track where a young person is in that process so find out what opportunities they've applied for and whether they're been offered employment and collect information throughout the program to get information back to any referring based information and help us collect data for those who are being served through the program. the other new initiative that

was launched this was through united way with the support of the office of economic and work force development are our doorways, there's six based organizations that service neighborhood points for young people. there's opportunities for young people to come in and find out about what is available to them, go through an initial work readiness screening and then get the support and rerl to what services they need and for young people that are not job ready, get some job training at the organization to help them get more ready. and here's a list of the six doorway organizations that we'll be funding this year. they're neighborhood based or reaching out to specific populations that might need moral support in accessing the system. young community developers, chalk, lyric, success center, san francisco which is located on the campus of youth guidance center, community sitter and the al might beaking.

>> a quick question. i move onto commissioner mendosa. do you feel these organizations give you a good spread across the city in terms of accessing young people? >> they do. >> different neighborhoods. >> they do. i don't have these on a map for the presentation. we did look at geographic reach, so a number of these organizations are serving more neighborhood based populations where some are serving city wide. cyc is serving those in richmond and china town. chalk has a specifically unique role in that given that they do a great deal of street outreach, they're reaching into all neighborhoods and have six other community based partners that they're working through. there's a number of other

communities. >> thank you. commissioner mendosa. >> i'm a huge fan. i want to add a couple of things and thank you glen for your effort on this. it has been a huge success with all of our departments and working closely with the district and united way. on the porter challenge, this year, the april 30, there was a job pledge of $138, that was the two departments that wanted to do a shout out for the jobs they he were going to create and that was rdpa. but the mayor did a department head meeting with all of the departments and did a similar presentation to the department heads to let them know the success of last year and did a call to action to make an effort whether you're doing one

internship or 200 like our other two departments so we expect all our department heads to make an effort to coordinate either funding or opening position for our youth within their department. so that's one of the key pieces and i wanted to say that this year's youth resource fair was remarkable. last year was really fun, but this year was even more fun and we had a lot of volunteers and it was extremely well organized and many of the employers came out including low's and starbucks and the 49ers and i think american eagle and so kids got -- were being hired on the spot. it was crazy. and the one area that i really liked a lot was going into the mock interviews where the kids had an opportunity to actually jump online right away and input all

of their information so this was all them doing what they needed to do in order to get a job. and now there's a lot of interviews that are happening through match bridge. so all the kids that input their information into the system are now being connected with both public and private employers and they're going through the process of interviews and meeting with folks so it was just an incredible event to just watch, the kids excitement. they came dressed really well and then we did kind of a rally and the warriors came in gave t shirts to all of the kids and we talked about team and we talked about the contributions that we could give so i want to give kudos to show who helped organize that event and as glen was saying, 500 last year and almost 900 year so we got the word out and many of the kids that didn't go last year didn't

want to miss it this year because they heard from 900 year so we got the word out and many of the kids that didn't go last year didn't want to miss it this year because they heard from their friends that got jobs that this was the place to be and it was throughout the day and a great event for the kids. >> thank you, commissioner norton. >> i just wanted to ask if there's been any efforts specifically to reach out to the youth with disabilities and there's any coordination with our special education department to get more eight with disability opportunities and job training over the summer. >> i don't know what specifically has been working with the office of special education, but one of the cbo partners we're working with, two were actually services and merit bridges for school to work, but i can find out what's going on with the school district. >> the other thing i wanted to mention, i a poll gees --

apologize, what are opportunities for young people that don't the right to work documented and the mayor has been committed to helping us find out what those are and expand those, so we're three united way funding and have an internship for youth that don't have right to work documented and dcf funded a specific strategy called career awareness and we're prioritizing awareness for those young people and working with the youth work programs and including those offered through the other programs to find paid opportunities for those youth. >> i appreciate that update because that was i question i had for last month i forgot to add it. it's great we're trying to figure out a way to address our youth that's undocumented but want to participate in this incredible program. supervisor yee.

>> a quick one. what are the five top private corporations or companies that are providing jobs? or the top three. >> yeah, i don't want to miss speak, so a know last summer unique low. is that how you pronounce it? >> i don't wear those clothes. but they came in very heavily in hiring a large number of young people, starbucks has been an active partner for this summer and last summer. >> mr. ruffo. >> director, i second on the course development. i can speak to serve how business outreach and what someone's out take has been.

>> i guess a lot of it is wondering if places like the giants for instance, there seems like there should be lots of opportunities there. that's why i asked. i'm wondering if they're in the top 20. >> we can get the list for all the employers that have pledged to date but it includes a number of large companies, starbucks, job own, many of the manufacturing companies here in san francisco. >> twitter also. >> say it again? >> does it include twitter. >> they did attend the job and pledge jobs as well. if it's okay i love to talk through the business outreach that we're doing through the court force. good afternoon, todd. we're thrilled to be working with dcyf and the district and

united way on summer jobs plus 2013. we're focused in the economic work force development in insuring that they're engaged. we're focused on insuring that number includes small businesses and big businesses from retails and the hospital council, the hotel counsel, and manufacturing and all sorts of industry, and they're participating in this program and creating opportunities and if they're not creating opportunities, they're not table to become a sponsor like bank of america or providing opportunity, or volunteering or participating.

from those watching from home or their businesses, there's a lot of ways you can engage this program. it's great for you to hire and great job opportunities but there's ways of you engage. we completed the launching event and the youth resource fair. for owad we'll be getting an ongoing our outreach. we're focusing on leveraging our team and reaching out to our partners and the trade group and san francisco of chamber and to small business network to make sure they're reaching out. we remain focused on keeping the employers engaged and keeping the volume up and keeping participating and supervisor, we'll give you a list of those who have committed so far.

okay. >> commissioner mendosa. thank you mr. ruffo. i'm really glad we got this presentation. it's great to hear about the successes of last year as well because putting on such an ambitious pilot program, i'm sure many folks had their doubts if we can hit the numbers we had said we would hit. beginning to know we surpassed that number and that both of private and the public sector came together to participate to make this reality is incredibly important and i know the youth commission said employer, youth employment is one of their top priorities and it's what they hear from young people. it's great that we've had a success program and the mayor development was able to really go out into the outreach with our private sector to really engage them on the both jobs but the funding for the programs because they can provide jobs but also it's important that we pay our young

people even in the public sector to get that training too. so this is really great to hear and i'm excited to hear about the outcome for this summer as well. and it's nice to see that -- was it 30 percent of the youth continued on employment. >> 39. >> 39 percent, wow! after the summer, that's great. in the future it would be great to hear from the young people. we got to hear from? of that tech job hearing, but that i think that would be great and their experience. >> i'm sorry. the youth have been coming to all the budget -- the district budget meeting and talking about the summer jobs piece as well, so it has been great to see them. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> so i don't see anymore colleagues that want to speak on this item. i'm going to open up for public comment on

this item. seeing no public item. i'll close it. any other comments, feedback questions. seeing none. we will -- shall we file this item or take a motion to file or motion to continue to the call of the chair? >> maybe what i want to update after the summer. >> okay. we'll continue to the call of the chair so we have a motion and we can do that without opposition. thank you. madam clerk, can we call item number three. >> thank you madam chair. it is item 13 -- i'm sorry. >> for two. >> 13404, it's an update on the willie brown middle school project. >> thank you. i know commissioner norton may need to leave before the end of this presentation. but this was an item we heard -- to hear about the current status of the

willie brown middle school project and some of the architectural plants and timeline. i know some of the stem is wanting to learn more. just before folks leave because i know not everyone will be able to stay i want to let everyone know we won't call this committee in june, july, and august. we have different resources on the board of supervisors, but we work hard to schedule a date for june and there were no available dates except for friday at 3:30 p.m. and i wanted to spare my colleagues of calling a meeting at that time, an hour and our department heads and staff. so i will not calling a meeting in june. but we do have on deck, surplus properties so i will be calling that in the fall instead of september so we'll have mr. golden back again in september but thank you for

being here on presented on willie brown. >> good afternoon supervisors and commissioners, i'm chief the facility officer for the school district. i was running late so i will try to be somewhat brief which is always hard for me. i want to introduce, two people that came with me. one was the project manager who is alberto. i'm going to give a brief presentation on the willie brown middle school. i'm going to be light about stem because that's not my area of expertise. and lewis val intin know were not able to come. and certainly that's something that we can bring back another day. just to give you a slight

bit of history. we although the district was under a federal lawsuit for accessability. one of the schools was the willie brown school. it was having some enrollment difficulties to say the least, the academic difficulties, and the board of education made a decision, rather to invest 10,000 to modernize a building that would be nothing but a bad building to look at demolishing that school and giving it a new birth. that's the path we have embarked on and we're pursuing that with, you know, warp spreed and looking toward the end when we have kids in the school. we have been wong
