for dcyf, excuse me, there we go.for dcyf, we have seven youth force work programs that is our summer opportunities. they invest $11 million in those initiatives to serve young people between the ages of 13 and 21. all of our programs are year round initiatives but we do ask them to have specific summer strategies. i'll go over the seven strategies. the first is career awareness, which is a new initiative and that's for those 13-17 and it's giving an introduction to the world of work and career ex plow rags for young people. we're currently funding four organizations to do that and our target -- the young people who don't have work experience and who are entering into the arenia. many of you are familiar with myeep. it's the city's largest work force program. the program focusing on 9th and 10th grader and we expand the ages to 17 during the summer. the japanese youth council are the number one council and they work with an organization with disabilities. the third initiative is youth works, which is a city internship

before i move onto the summer jobs plus, do you have any questions about the dcyf strategies? >> supervisor norman yee. >> thank you. i'm not too sure. you mentioned the number of youth all these programs are serving -- >> i don't have the exact numbers for this year. last year we were table to serve well over 2,000 young people through our strategies. i can get you the exact number. we were able to get supplemental funding to expand our programs. >> and then in 2000, you're talking most of them would have had some employment opportunity? >> yes, thank you. that's one thing i for got to mention. aside from the career awareness strategy, which is really more kind of work shop and career awareness activity for young people, the other strategies i mentioned in our youth force portfolio has a paid work force component, so a work experience or an extended work force or a shadow. >> i'll be interested in knowing the numbers for the john oconnell. >> so in that strategy, there are three levels of work that are being done. the first is some core and more intensive work with 25 student

funding that still exist and to be fair, those resources are originated from the city as well from dcyf. they have not been diminished and they are still in place so i think that's definitely worth noting. as far as general funds support, general fund support has been minimal at least the time that i've been with the district and there was for a couple of years, there was a state categorical program that was specifically directed to arts and music that was, i think that was in place beginning in 2006 or 2007, around then, that was of course prior to the recession that took place and in that state recession context, the state allowed districts to repurpose many, many category programs including that arts funding and as most districts did, we had to repurpose those funds in order to make our books balanced and avoid layoffs and everything else, so it is true that there were for a limited -- maybe two years there was some dedicated funding from the state that was provided and that is not available anymore, but the long history of general funds support has been very, very small and the dcyf

base learning throughout the year and this is -- this was referred to earlier as match bridge and dcyf helping us out with that. those are guest speakers, field trips, job shadows. but we're talking specifically about summer, so let me get onto summer. we are using the term a little bit more around a productive summer -- productive summer and with that said, we are looking to -- we have 75 paid internships this year. we are going to be expanding, so last year we had 86 paid internships that came through our private and public connections. mostly through our advisory boards and that included i believe 30 from youth works which was also referred to tonight. we're going to drill into these numbers at the last slide. the intent of the summer internship is really to expand the learning that's happening in the school year programs. so to give them the 6 week intensive, you know, all day experience as opposed to these one or two hour experiences. and we're also exploring and letting the students expand, so if they're at the one of the health programs, they have an opportunity to apply to othe

dcyf and odwd as partners and they manage most of the outreach and the overall coordination of the program. primarily with the career technical career program. our cbo partners and employers the initiative was launched in summer 2012 in response to the obama administrative call to action. our challenge in 2012 was to provide 5,000 training or employment opportunities for young people 14 to 24 and we look at paid training opportunities and not volunteer experiences that's not paid. that year we provided 5,206. and 700 pledges were made. in the summer of 2013, the mayor up that goal to 6,000 training employment opportunities for young people and we were able to surpass that and provide over 6800. there were advances made last year. one was a new on online tracking system. a system that young people applied to to get access to the opportunities. we introduce doorway opportunities where young people can access the system and get support in terms of applying for jobs and opportunities and starting to expand what as the summer jobs initiative into a year round effort so working closer with the s
