Family losing my sister to a Drug Overdose and having my brother still locked up in jail, i think what if . What if an opportunity was available to them, too . Why wasnt there an opportunity available to them . I dont want to operate in what ifs. I want to operate in a way that prevents something that happened to my community, something that happened to my family from ever happening to any other young person in the first place. That is why i started opportunities for all. Because i wanted to make sure that kids in San Francisco no matter what part of the city you live in, no matter who your family is, no matter what school you go to, money should never be a barrier to your ability to succeed in life. That is what this program is about. I want to make sure that when we have all of these incredible opportunities in San Francisco to work in so many different industries, when people are looking for folks to about, they are looking right here in San Francisco. When people are looking to make sure we are investing dollars in preparing you all for the work force, they are preparing and spending their money on all of you to make sure that you are successful. I want you to have amazing lives, amazing careers, and i want you to be able to afford in the city you might have been born and raised in. [applause. ] this is about creating a new normal, breaking the cycle sometimes of poverty that has existed in too many of our neighborhoods. This is my dream. When i have the opportunity to basically be mayor and run this city, this was the first thing i thought about. I am so excited to be here today. We launched the program in october, we are doing it this summer. We have 3700 participants so far. As i said, no one is turned away. I will speak to some of the companies here. We need you to accept more students, to work with us to make sure kids have more opportunities. When we have someone with an interest in working in a particular field, we have a place for them to go to learn about that particular field. That is what this program is about. I want to thank the major sponsor of this program, Alaska Airlines and at and t for making a significant investment along with so many other people. The department of children, youth and families, of course, through my budget we committed 8 million to this program. I am dedicated to making this work and providing you with all of the opportunities possible. I also want to thank a couple of city agencies that basically answered the call. I want to start with the department of public works. They have hundreds of internship opportunities available as well as the San Francisco police department. Thank you, chief, for being here and the opportunitying you provide to our young people and the San Francisco airport. When i think about the San Francisco airport, they are taking on 200 young people. There are so many layers, administrative, human resources, security, luggage. There are all of these Different Things that happen in the airport, and i am just so excited about what you all are going to discover this summer. I used to listen to kmdl. I remember when renel got engaged to tommy moon and the first africanamerican woman announcer in baseball. What is the baseball thing called again . The hall of fame. You were in the hall of fame . Never mind. She is here. She is making moves. I want you all to be prepared to make moves. When you show up late and you are criticized, take it in and learn from it. When you have one trying to teach you to do something better, be open minded. Put aside your sometimes i am not saying all of you. I know i had a really bad attitude. I had to basically get an attitude adjustment to keep my job. The people working with you, they want to support you. They want be to grow and succeed. Please show them respect and appreciate and work hard taking in every minute of the opportunity. Advance, grow and do whatever your hearts desire. Have a good time this summer. When you are at work roll up your sleeves and get the job done. We are counting on you all to be the next generation of you folk to take over the city. One of you can be a mayor. I will not be here forever. Thank you for your support. Keep that applause going for our wonderful mayor, london breed. [applause. ] the kid referenced something known as a typewriter. It is similar to the keep board on your laptops and phones. If you want to know what a typewriter is, google that on your phone. Thank you, mayor breed for your leadership. I know you inspire the young people here with us today. I know they see possibilities in themselves that they may not have seen before as they watch you run this great city. Thank you for sharing your experiences today. Now to entertainment. How does that sound everybody . applause . We cant have a kickoff without performances. Please enjoy the first performance and welcome to local youth. It is the spoken word performance. We have a poem from tj lynch. Come on up, tj. Okay. I will give you background. I read an article and it broke my heart. I felt like i should share it with everybody. I never thought this could happen to me. One minute i imagine singing and dancing. Next i feel burning pay. May 17, 2010. That is the day the police took me away from my family, friends, dreams. They werent in the right house. The man who murdered the 17year old boy lived a level above me. May 16, 2010. That was the day the police took me. May 16, 2010 is the day everything changed. That is the day they should haved me in mysoline. I am 7 years old. May 16 is the day i died. I was murdered by the officer. He faced a penalty. They didnt see me as a child and just saw my skin. I had my whole life ahead. It makes me angry. Following my death my daddy was introduced to 30 years in prison. Not only is my mommy mourning me. My dadtys life, too. It was his gun that o kens killed the boy with. Is it the justice my mommy gets why a man kills her black daughter and takes husband to the pen. How can a man murder a 7 yearold girl and be dismissed of manslaughter and firstdegree murder and seconddegree murder in a world with a supposed fair justice system. Mizmy daddy is guilty of murdern the second degree. If they had proof to accuse it sounds contradictory to me the black man and the white man is free. What hurts the offer is still on the ped. After this my mommy piece by piece he couldnt give my mother apology. Thank you for that powerful presentation and reminder what we are dealing within the inner city communities every day and how much more work we have to do. Thank you, baby girl with your cute little self. The backpack is bigger than she is. You know, as mayor breed said none of this is possible without support of partners and Companies Creating opportunities for young people. Now we will hear from huge supporters of opportunities for all. Leading off please welcome to executive Vice President of communications, stacy slaughter. [applause. ] thank you for all coming to the park today. We are delighted to have you here today. The giants were tied last i heard. I am not sure what happened. Thank you, mayor breed for your leadership on this issue. We all feel that it is an Important Initiative for kids in our community. When i was thinking about todays event i was thinking about my own teenage years and my first summer job. A lot of the things i learned are things i take with me today. I grew out in sacramento. There werent a lot of female role models the road to college was the exception. Most folks didnt go to college. I wasnt sure what i was going to do after high school. I was 16, i got a job at a ice cream restaurant that just opened. I learned a lot of lessons in that first job, similar to what mayor breed learned. One of the molt mottos was if you have time to lean you have time to clean. If you werent scooping ice cream or helping a customer you were restocking hot fudge and whip cream. You learned this strong work ethic of making yourself indispensable and contributing in whatever fashion possible. I use that motto with my teenage sons. One of the things that was helpful to me in life. The manager of the store was a woman who was a great mentor and opened my eyes to Different Things in the world. One of the things she discovered was the ability to write and communicate well. In addition to your ice cream duties we make you the official pr manager of the store. We have you in charge of the special events, ads in the local weekly reader, maybe write press releases and so i took that opportunity and ran with it. I realized, sherie she saw it i. I graduated from berkeley many years ago. Then it launched a 30 year career in communications and pr. I went to work in the Mayors Office as the press secretary in the early 1990s. 23 years ago i got a job in communication was the San Francisco giants. Here i am today. You never know where you will find inspiration. It could be your first summer job. It sounds like the opportunities in the city are more exciting than the ice scream store in ice cream store. You never know who is your role model. It could be right here in the Events Division or helping us build mission rock and housing and opportunities. I wish you all the best. Thank you for being part of it and thanks for all of the partners for making this happen. [applause. ] thank you, stacy. A couple things. Now i want some ice cream. Thanks for that. If you have time to lean you have time to clean. I will use that on the husband, let me just say that. Thank you for that, stacy slaughter. Now a shout out to or sponsor Alaska Airlines, top sponsor for opportunities for all. Please welcome bay area Vice President anna bell chang. Thank you. It is perfect at the Giants Stadium we look around and realize practice makes perfect. It takes training and a lot of years of experience. That is exactly what opportunities for all is. It is about developing your experience, perfecting professionalism. How to take a phone call, be a good employee, become a good boss one day. Here we realize it takes that grit and that perseverance and teamwork. It is a perfect setting for us. I am Vice President of the bay area for Alaska Airlines. We are honored to be the First Corporate sponsor of the opportunities for all program. I want you to help me pick a number. When someone goes and takes unpaid internship for the summer, how much do you think they give up in wages if they dont take a paid summer job . 3,000 . Do you think it is higher . 5,000 . How many think it is around 5,000 . How many think it is more than that . Thats right. It is 6,800 is the estimated amount of money you give up by tag an unpaid internship during the summer. That is incredible for those looking for ways to build professional experience. Opportunities for all the making that happen by allowing you to take on a paid internship and making sure you get the invaluable. No amount of money can cover the experience you are going to develop. We want to say that is incredibly important. At Alaska Airlines we have been giving in communities for a very long time. In the bay area we have thousands of employees from ramp agents to mechanics to pilots to customer service. I want to shout sought to the team taking on more than 200 interns. These are great paying union jobs at the airport. People dont know about it. It is based on family connections and experience. We want to make sure that people can learn about these opportunities and what i will share is even at Alaska Airlines the highest level officers started at Alaska Airlines on the ramp, helping people guilty around the planes to move safely. It is extraordinary the opportunities from the very first job. I have a plaque, mayor to present. We shared the opportunities for all programming in our inflight magazine in february. That is 33,000 flights had a chance to learn about mayor london breeds opportunities for all program. We are superexcited and totally thrilled. [applause. ] thank you. Give a round for the generosity of Alaska Airlines. While we talk generosity it is at t. This woman is a long time friend. We were Radio Broadcasting colleagues for many, many years. Back in day we performed in the oakland ballet celebrity allstar performance of the nutcracker and we were nag magnificent as toy soldiers. I am delighted to introduce her. My own girl director of external affairs, cammy black stone. We still got it. Welcome everyone. I want to thank mayor london breed. There goes my notes. For this incredible idea and program. It is so important. At a and and t we at t we will connect diverse opportunities. Here in San Francisco we are riding the waves of Economic Prosperity but not everyone in San Francisco is able to participate. We hope that with believe and with opportunities for all, these initiatives the maze or put forward that we can level that playing field. People like you, you young people can make that connection to get training and Work Experience and everything you need to find your path to economic success. We wish you all the best. We want to thank the mayor and we are excited to see how it unfolds for all of us in San Francisco. Thank you. [applause. ] lets get a hip, hip for at t. This would not be possible without our nonprofit organizations. Three had boots on the ground in the Community Reaching out, conducting signups for young people including the Jamestown Community center. A round of applause please for myrna melgar, executive director. Thank you so much. I am the executive director of the Jamestown Community center, one of the oldest Youth Development communities in San Francisco. I want to thank mayor breed for her vision. It is an incredible investment in our youth and august and ack. I am an immigrant. Mize parents didnt speak english and didnt have connections. I am here today because i had mentors of people who helped me graduate, apply to college, get the first job and that is so important for immigrant youth and youth of color whose parents dont have a lot of social capital. They dont have people to connect them with jobs, paid internships. When your family can hardly buy groceries, how can you take an unpaid internship for two or three months during the summer. At jamestown we were lucky to be included in this amazing opportunity and we ran with it. We have a Program Designed buys our director where we had girls at Hilltop High School for girls who are pregnant while in high school. They designed and sewed the costumes for the 3 00 costumes. They put it together. Then they saw all of the youth from the community all the of black and brown kids being celebrated on television with a community clapping after them. What an enormous wonderful gift. Thank you, mayor for that. Yesterdayir had the great pleasure of doing the training for 50 High School Youth working in our programs. We had them go through training and lesson planning. We had them vision what it would be like to be a little kid going to Pacific Heights in the skin we are in and that is a teaching moment. We want them to own this city. This is their city. We are included socially and economically. It seems the elder peers are now going through a path to an educational career. We have a partnership with the San FranciscoUnified School District to train or staff to become teachers while mentoring the opportunity for all kids. There is a path for them. They see themselves in the older kids who are becoming teachers of color, bilingual teachers in the school district. That wouldnt have happened if it werent for opportunities for all. Thank you, mayor breed, for the opportunities and great difference that this project is making on the lives of our community. Thank you so much. [applause. ] thank you for sharing your story and god bless you in jamestown. We have a lot of young people excited to start internships and some have begun, is that right . Or maybe not. You are excited, yes, that is the point i am trying to make. One of these young people is nicholas lay from california state sacramento who worked every summer with our very only San Francisco public works. Come up to say a few words, young man. [applause. ] thank you. I am nicholas lay. Born and raised in San Francisco. Currently a senior at Sacramento State university. I am part of sfu my whole life. I worked with the department of public works from 2010 to 2013, but this summer i age excited to be i am excited to take on a new role as lead for opportunities for all. It is important to me.

I hope it affects our leadership as well. I will say this. Opportunities for all is a Beautiful Program with, i think, wonderful language. We see know and london breed understands if you solve for equity, then you solve for everybody. If you solve for women and people of color, then everybody wins, everybody comes up. I want to acknowledge the women of leadership mu have taken the stage this morning and afternoon. I am going to do this song right now. This song i wrote initially for women of color but today it is for all of us. The song is for everybody who needs to be seen, everybody who feels like they may be invisible. Today is the start of a new program, a new era of justice. I want them to feel it in the chest but not blowout the ears. I am going to move. This is for your colored folks.

Thank you for sharing your artistry with us. Thank you, ryan nicole. Our next performer grew up in new orleans. It was moving to break the cycle of violence after his best friend was murdered. He was a middle schoolteacher before he traded the classroom for a microphone and stage. We are happy to have him with us today. Please welcome our next performer, this is d1. [applause. ] thank you all very much. Let me tell you all something. I am so excited i cant wipe this smile off my face. Everybody looks so young. Where are the students . Can you make some noise. I cant tell the students from adults. They all look late teens, early 20s. Listen, life is not something that comes with a script. When i was in third grade, i wanted to be the president of the united states. By the time i was in seventh grade, i wanted to be a lawyer. In high school i wanted to play in the nba. In college i started out as engineering major because my mamma said they make a lot of money. When i graduated college i realized i wanted to be a business major. When i first graduated i game a middle schoolteacher. Now, i am a rapper and public speaker. Life has no script. It is not always what you do in life. It is about why you do what you are doing. As long as you chase passion and do stuff because you truly care and love it, you will be all right. I cant teleses you how to become a millionaire. My best friend got murdered. That is real life. It is not about what you do. It is about why you are doing it. Do you love it . How are you doing it. If you are committing to be excellent in whatever you do in life, you will be okay. I want you all to know that. For the first song it is three is up. This is my month to in the rap game. I am not like everybody else or fit in. I dont care about fitting in.

When you think about the key to happiness in live, you see this right here . That is not it. That is not it. Now the high school looks at me like i am crazy. If you are an adult you know that is not the only key to happiness in life. Raise your hand and make some noise. Dont be a sleeve to a piece of paper per. Everyone has a paper and mission. Make sure you do something you love. When you love to do it, it is not going to feel like work. If it doesnt feel like work you will be great at it. They will say they got it paid up nice. Next thing you know money takes care of itself. I am a rapper. I am not supposed to be in San Francisco speaking to the youth and adults how to connect with the purpose in life. The key is i am walking in my purpose, and other people doing their jobs we have a way to come together. That is going to happen with you. This summer when you do the internships. Connect and build relationships and change your life. My name is d1. The reason i go so hard we dont want to let you down. Students, we dont want to let you down.

I wish you were president right now. That is d1, you all. As we close i would like to introduce the woman putting this together behind the scenes from engaging with youth and employers to creating programming and organizing these events. Please give a warm welcome to the San FranciscoHuman Rights Commission executive director cheryl davis. [applause. ] i see not everybody has sunglasses and baseball caps. I am not going to talk a long time. There is something i feel compelled to say. I will ask tj to come back up here. If i am going to be honest when we talk about this and think about young people with opportunities and platforms and spaces and places and how we allow folks to have voicings and have access. What i said to t y before she got up to speak. I was like we going to keep it positive and upbeat, right . Maybe that was positive and upbeat to tj, i dont know. Ultimately, tj had the platform and space and place. It was within her rights to say what it is she felt compelled to say. As we develop this work, if we are going to be true about giving youth a place to speak up and to speak out it means sometimes they may say things we dont think is the right time and moment. For me the struggle is we come in as adults to create priorities and prioritize youth voice and give them a platform and space and place to do things, learn things, grow and be themselves. Sometimes when we do it we go wait, wait, wait. What happened here . You did what maybe you wanted to but maybe made me see uncomfortable. That is not what this is meant to be. The mayor created opportunities for everybody regardless where they live or go to school or what they look like or what their thoughts are. We are asking you all here today to celebrate the fact that we actually are giving place and space for people to be themselves. We are not asking them to change who they are. We are giving them a platform and place to grow in a positive setting. I gave her a hard time when she got off the stage. This is what this is all about. I want us to all remind ourselves. When young people come to your place of employment they may not show up the way you think they should. Opportunities for all is about we are giving people the space and the place to grow and to learn and to become successful, however they do fine success, not how we define it. We want to be able to have young people benefit from the booming economy, to make money to live in the city. It is not just about the money lost. It is about the social networking and experience lost. We thank you for making the commitment to be here financially or with space and time and resources. I want to challenge you all to put yourselves on the spot and to challenge your way of thinking to actually embrace our young people for who they are and celebrate them and be the best they can be. Thank you all. [applause. ] i want to thank you for joining us today. Shout out to employers and partners. Thank you for your support. We see hope you young people are fired up and ready for orientation. I want to wish you all the best. You are off to a great start. Let me hear you say opportunities for all. After every giants game here, travel home safely and good afternoon from oracle park. You need to exit to my right, your left. There is food and beverage. Thank you all so much once again. My name is alan schumer. I am a fourth generation san franciscan. In december, this building will be 103 years of age. It is an incredibly rich, rich history. [ ] my core responsibility as city hall historian is to keep the history of this building alive. I am also the tour program manager, and i chair the city advisory commission. I have two ways of looking at my life. I want it to be i wanted to be a Fashion Designer for the movies, and the other one, a political figure because i had some force from family members, so it was a constant battle between both. I ended up, for many years, doing the fashion, not for the movies, but for for san franciscan his and then in turn, big changes, and now i am here. The work that i do at city hall makes my life a broader, a richer, more fulfilling than if i was doing something in the Garment Industry. I had the opportunity to develop relationships with my docents. It is almost like an extended family. I have formed incredible relationships with them, and also some of the people that come to take a tour. She was a dressmaker of the first order. I would go visit her, and it was a special treat. I was a tiny little girl. I would go with my wool coat on and my special little dress because at that period in time, girls did not wear pants. The Garment Industry had the at the time that i was in it and i was a retailer, as well as the designer, was not particularly favourable to women. You will see the predominant designers, owners of huge complexes are huge stores were all male. Women were sort of relegated to a lesser position, so that, you reached a point where it was a difficult to survive and survive financially. There was a woman by the name of diana. She was editor of the bazaar, and evoke, and went on and she was a miraculous individual, but she had something that was a very unique. She classified it as a third i. Will lewis brown junior, who was mayor of San Francisco, and was the champion of reopening this building on january 5th of 1999. I believe he has not a third eye , but some kind of antenna attached to his head because he had the ability to go through this building almost on a daily basis during the restoration and corrects everything so that it would appear as it was when it opened in december of 1915. The board of supervisors approved that, i signed it into law. Jeffrey heller, the city and county of San Francisco oh, and and your band of architects a great thing, just a great thing. To impart to the history of this building is remarkable. To see a person who comes in with a gloomy look on their face , and all of a sudden you Start Talking about this building, the gloomy look disappears and a smile registers across their face. With children, and i do mainly all of the childrens tours, that is a totally different feeling because you are imparting knowledge that they have no idea where it came from, how it was developed, and you can Start Talking about how things were before we had computer screens, cell phones, lake in 1915, the mayor of San Francisco used to answer the telephone and he would say, good morning, this is the mayor. At times, my clothes make me feel powerful. Powerful in a different sense. I am not the biggest person in the world, so therefore, i have to have something that would draw your eye to me. Usually i do that through color, or just the simplicity of the look, or sometimes the complication of the look. I have had people say, do those shoes really match that outfit . Retirement to me is a very strange words. I dont really ever want to retire because i would like to be able to impart the knowledge that i have, the knowledge that i have learned and the ongoing honor of working in the peoples palace. You want a longterm career, and you truly want to give something to do whatever you do, so long as you know that you are giving to someone or something youre then yourself. Follow your passion and learn how to enrich the feelings along the way. This is the regular meeting of the Small Business commission and the meeting is being called to order at 2 03 p. M.
