the private side this is an incredible effort here it begins with something i on intersections you know something that today continues to be ♪ 6 year of great partnering to remind you that wonderful magic time so while it is kind of hard with such a beautiful room to close our eyes or that on intersections i want you, you to go back to that moment every of you and on intersections about who helped you get our very first job because when you on back about that you're going to military that while you did what you were proposed to do there were people that helped you that opened that door and gave you a reference or encouraged you whether it was your parents or brothers and sisters, oftentimes it is

but you're also assessing what was that employer that get a little bit of faith and said hey okay. we'll hire you and test you out give you an opportunity and 2 allowed you to kind of flower in like maria and sherryly their schashgz get to come out when they, feel the power of aribnb something for themselves and being responsible of that aribnb that is what that means to all of you and i on intersections that die when we are asking for those pledge of allegiance to happen 2 resulted from a personal i on intersections recognize that somebody helped you along the way to become the great ceo or the great manager the great supervisor that many of you in the room are today that i want to take that because that is what it means to us to have that

thing when you personally are able to do something for yourselves you don't forget the people that helped you do that that's why those moment are important i want to take you back to that when we ask you to contribute that's why we do so the other point we dwarthd with all of your community-based agencies part of youth plus jobs initiative and plus have been there for years with department agencies here because it is not just the job what we have figured out is part of this family tradition of public-private investment in our youth is that in the concert in the fabric of just helping people we know that it is more than just that job how do you take somebody who mom or dad said you have to go out

and get a job and started evening he can't afford everything you want and a youth who perhaps on day one doesn't know how to do that how do you take that person who you know what i'm talking about respond comes up and you can you help me get a job any mom said she can't afford me how do you turn to that to a maria and sherryly ma'am, sir, i. shirley and marie can a i can help your company be more soon enough this is who i am and look you in the eye and help you if you help them that's that transition is what
