it's delightful to have new this space. all of the partners who have been working in this city and who have been for so long, and the residents today and government officials our mayor ed lee who has been so instrumental in build deep roots into this community. when family services and i first started discussing this space we envisioned it for a place for technology and where we can help provide technology deals with some technology training with the folks that encompass family services with

residented in the community and as that has evolved it's how twitter understanding how complex some of the neighborhoods issues are and becoming much more understanding of the complexities of those issues. the programs had become much more rich and not just about technology and about volunteers from twitter coming to work side by side with our other private partners with life skills, housing, employment and not just a space for individuals to come and learn but a family oriented center for all ages to be able to take advantage of this space. it's both coincidentally right across the street from our office and the epicenter of all the family

services that's going on in our community. on that note, i want to thank everybody for being involved in this city from the beginning and the architect who are here today and twitter and our private partners. i would like to hand it to mayor ed lee. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you, jake and thank you twitter, congratulations and i want to just say it's another milestone and effort that started a while back but in technology days it could be a long time ago. but i want to thank naomi kelly, our city administrator for working hard on everything from community benefit agreements to working with us and with many companies that have located long central market and mid-market in our effort to be revitalized north of

market street itself. i also know random from city college is here. our public librarian is here, outreach and homeless efforts and people all united for helping families, kids. people who might have been homeless, really try to find a level of success for themselves. i see catholic charities that are here and excellent part of services that are being provided here. there is this site called twitter neighbor nest that i had to wrap my ears around to understand what that is. now i get it. i'm getting birds fly across the street. if you have been around, this was

the raffles restaurant. i had a table here. it was abandoned many years ago and i was always wonder ing how this might be used in the future. it's a fantastic use of a fantastic bridge. i have worked with twitter the very first meeting that i had the day before you came on board i was working with the executives and talking about the need for more bike lanes in san francisco and how kind of deepened those roots have become as the company has grown so has it's roots and this is one of those strong roots that i think are going to grow deeper and deeper to benefit the communities that we all care about particularly in the tenderloin and south of market. i know supervisor jane kim but for a big bike trip

she's doing in denmark, she would be right here. i know she would be very happy to see this happening because the benefit of this particular center with all of it's attributes whether it's child care to support the people here whether it's focused on services towards people who don't have jobs and don't have those job skill sets. whether for me it is the ultimate which is a constant transfer of skill sets of hope from those that have pretty good jobs and good skill sets and good education to those that are challenged in many ways that have been here and lived here an we are hoping that a mayor and board of supervisors would some day revitalize that we now have companies in fact twitter is first and now there is 15 technology companies along with

venture capitalist along with other small businesses that have also invested in this area and that makes for great solid roots of building and rebuilding our communities. then the purpose of this center will just go a long way. you are sitting in a room that will have up to 20 computers, training of everything from coding and i know some people will speak about that. but it isn't just about technology that will happen here. it's also as dick said, the life skills. it's the stuff that encompass us on a day to day basis and gives them hope for succeeding in this city. these days i'm trying to lead that conversation with many companies as well as social services providers and community based organizations and our supervisors about how we can share in this prosperity that is quite

evidence of all the same around the city. how to share with the community that is most in need. i think this is a center that this is be a great root in doing that. i want to thank dick for his vision here. i want to thank his staff and the people from twitter because there will be a lot of twitter employees coming through here and i think they will realize that their skill sets can be invaluable to people who don't have that surrounding them. and then for the families and kids that are here, it will be a safe place, a free place for them. it will be a very conveniently located space that they can get really adequately prepared before coming to protest against me at city hall. [ laughter ] inform legislators about what their desires are. isn't that the way to do it? i'm glad to see the children

and families director here. the more of these types of centers that can be created brings more of the people we need to come together to help each other out. this is in essence what i always felt to be what is the purpose of shared prosperity. those that have something to give and are willing in their hearts to give it can then transfer to something like this to the people who need it and create a space for this to happen and this is not a senseless space. i want to thank twitter financial for that to make it happen. but what's going to go on here for years is a reflection of more and more examples of how successful businesses can help others to become more successful and provide both the framework but also the foundation. many discussions will have to hear, many transfers in knowledge. many

stories we'll share with each other with a hope that people can take those skill sets and get the kind of jobs we are creating in the city or the training programs like city college that are offering in order to improve people's lives and get more resilient and more successful. i'm just sharing with you my thoughts and belief about why this center exist and i kind of think this is the thought process that people at twitter had when they were really contemplating what would be the proper alignment for what they are all about to what the people here need and make that a long term sustainable commitment. again, thank you to you and hopefully i will have the chance to visit here on many occasions and see the families that are succeeding and get them the jobs and now get them the housing that they need in the city. thank you. [ applause ]

>> hello my name is erica nave the teacher at catholic charities. we would like to thank twitter for everything they have done for all the wonderful youth in our programs. being involved has been a valuable resource for our children to begin hands-on program for computers. we are so grateful for their incredible support and continue to provide educational opportunities for the children and the families of san francisco. [ applause ] >> hi, everyone. i'm erica, the executive director of family and children services. on behalf of all at

encompass i would like to thank twitter for their tremendous partnership. over the past year we have been involved in program and planning. it's wonderful to be part of this space which was nothing just a couple months ago transformed and a partner for the neighbor nest. the great thing about the planning process for the nest is that every step of the way the focus has been on how to make this space and the programming welcoming and accessible to the families that we serve. these discussions early on about the color scheme and the types of snacks and the way the child care area which is absolutely indispensable should be laid out to the type of software and the configuration of the furniture. it's all been about the client experience. over the past few months with the programming that compass has run we've

seen quite a few families come here and they are excited about the opportunity to learn technology to open doors about gaining skills and tools that will help them to contribute to employment, job readiness, job training, educational opportunities, housing search. what we see at the nest is an opportunity to be a game changer for families like the families we serve who are striving for stability and self sufficiency. we are very much looking forward to kicking off our summer season of regular programming at the nest and that will start june 1st, with parents and kids. it will be busy and bubbling with many people here as tonight. i'm going to turn the mic over the lindsey who is a resident with her beautiful daughter who is somewhere out there and our house program. she's going to

say a few words. [ applause ] >> hi, so my name is lindsey. i have a one -year-old daughter who is somewhere out there in the crowd. but, i'm actually really super excited for the opportunity that twitter has offered us to have a place where we can come and get education on computers or and also have a place where we can do housing workshops and have our children right there with us, but not exactly right there. [ laughter ] but, i'm definitely super excited and i'm looking forward to all of the resources that they are offering. they are offering a wonderful movie night which is families will be able to come

and watch a movie with their kids and share with other families. i'm super excited about that. i just really want to say thank you, guys, because you know for some people they don't have the motivation to want to get their lives together, but actually coming to a place like this and a place like this to be available for those of us who want to put that effort into getting their lives together. so i really just wanted to thank you. so thanks. [ applause ] >> all right. with that we'll cut the ribbon with this extraordinarily giant pair of scissors. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> >> >> >> >>
