starbucks is doing or giving money so the resources are there or whether doing both with the combination of starbucks and the pastry shops. or whether jcpenney morgan chase or bank of america all the employers are funding this with the nonprofits. i want to ask you for a moment every year i'll tried to do this and third time i get a little bit better just recall for the next thirty seconds who helped you get our first job oftentimes we only think about that we realize someone helped you those are the times when you look at 70 thousand youth of san francisco that will never forget

the moment that someone helped them get they're first job and lout them to get the skills and turn from an interview they have their head down to how can i help our company be more expensive with my skills those are transitional periods of time like eric said and their transitional for our city i want to signal to the next generation of youth your future is here in the city and the best jobs exist in the city of san francisco and we're going to link you up to present you in the best way and allow you and your family to succeed so think about that for a moment who helped you get our

first job because oftentimes you're going to do that extra more to hire the youth in san francisco. finally, i want to say this in san francisco the other thing we do besides hire people when the door has been opened to us we keep the door open for everyone else this is about opportunity it's but also the suggestion that we are a community of people that care for each other this is a compassionate city and also not the economic success we all want but the ability to taller than and say who's next and who can i bring through the door you doorkeepers are there to keep the door open and we're going to use that door to bring success to other families. thank you for being here and in
