ages to 24. they're year round services and that's the services that target the youngest age group, age 0 to 5 and that's early age portfolio. again, those are year round slots to help working parents and provide those important learning opportunities for our youngest resident and support resource services and that's in partnership with first five. and focusing on school age use, kindergarten through eighth grade. this is the youth population that we have been focusing on recently and through gathering information through our partners, we came up with -- they have access to

an ongoing summer learning opportunity. kind of a summer program or summer camp that's provided at least three days a week for a couple of hours a day. so we're trying to sure that up and make sure all youth at this age group who are interested in staying in the program has an option because we know there's positive things that can come from participation in a program especially around learning loss. this summer, dcf will fund three sites for this age group. we're emphasizing them to operate for eight hours a day and five-days a week to help working families and there's a map that we up loaded to our website, some maps that show each of the different types of programs that will be offered this summer, both from funded agencies and wreck and park and the school district will operate, some of its excel programs and the early education department so those maps are available on website

and it's in the packet included to you today. so you can see there's a variety of different options with different colored dots that represent the different types of funding behind these programs but we have some pretty good coverage across the city. then moving onto kind of high school age and older youth, as helen mentions, dcf is partnering with the district and this year we'll take it to a bigger scale and work with those 9 graders that will provide them with an afternoon session. even kind of exposing them to career awareness opportunities as a way to provide some relevance for their summer school experience, so we're excited about that opportunity and partner i. dcf funds several different programs that work with high school age youth,

again, year round, 56 different programs and we estimate that about 1800 youth will have opportunities starting this summer in a variety of programs and could focus on cultural identity and digital arts and there's a variety of programs with students involved gaining a skill and hopefully that skill is tying into their interest and that's why they're participating. we support youth work force programs and this summer we'll fund 30 different programs that go ages 14 through 21. the mayor's employment education and youth works and our partnership will be up and running this summer. we expect there to be 2 , 200

slots. we'll talk about that with the city agencies. >> this is another one of our year round fund strategies that utilize adults and these are year round services, there's often a big focus in doing planning around summer which has been a peek in term of violent activity so those grantees and or partners at dph and probation, we've been working together to make sure we have a smooth summer this coming summer. the next your is trying to foster summer providers to think about quality. and to end hans their quality. one of the things we've worked on in the couple of years is a summer larning network is a coalition of workers across the city and has more than one hundred members

and it's to share ideas and resources and things that can help programs improve their program quality. there's newsletters and meetings and the group puts together and plans two city wide training days for staff of any in the city and there's a fair where folks from different city agencies and cultural institutions come and talk about how they can bring students to their sites or field trips and the types of programs they he have, the library is there promoting their summer reading program, so it's a network of folks trying to expand for the low income family. the after school for all group creates a summer assessment tool that programs can use on their own to think about how they can choose the areas where they want to improve whether it's

family aspect or academic or skill development, this tool helps them think about where they are in terms of the quality and gives them tools to think about how to improve that quality. and then -- we participate and promote the summer programs that we fund and others we work with to participate in national learning day which is an an awareness day to kind of bring more attention to this issue of the importance of summer for our youth. it's a learning opportunity and learning can be fund. so national similar day is june 21st. they'll be event happening right on the steps of city hall and out at civic plaza and in addition to that big marquis event, you'll the grantees are asked to host their event to enhance their neighborhood or community

parties about the importance of summer learning. some of the other initiatives that dcf is involved in relates to nutrition and the biggest event in the summer is the free summer lunch program and there's a brochure attached in 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, d
