MAYOR NEWSOM LAUNCHES SUMMER JOBS FOR YOUTH
Newsom’s plan will create 1,400 jobs for youth under 18 years old

San Francisco—Mayor Gavin Newsom today launched the Summer Empowerment &
Employment Development (SEED) Program. SEED will provide education and
training to inspire youth to become advocates in their communities. This
includes job training, mentoring, attending workshops, a community
service project, and supporting the City’s summer lunch program for
children and youth living in public housing sites.

“Traditionally, summer is the time when the majority of young people
have their first work experience, and SEED is a creative way to provide
that opportunity,” said Mayor Newsom. “Young people must have the
opportunity to work, thrive, and to contribute to the vitality of the
local economy, and in some cases their own family’s economic survival.
Part-time work experience for high school students leads to more
confidence in
their abilities, better time management skills, and enhanced academic
success.”

Despite economic and fiscal challenges, the City will continue funding
on-going youth employment initiatives. This summer 1,400 slots for youth
under 18 years old will be made available via DCYF funded initiatives,
such as the Mayor’s Youth Employment and Education Program (MYEEP) (675
slots), New Directions (220 slots) which targets youth engaged in the
juvenile justice system, Workreation (157 slots), and Youth Works (200
slots), amongst others. SEED is a pilot program during summer 2009,
initiated by the Department of Children, Youth and Their Families (DCYF)
and the San Francisco Housing Authority (SFHA). The two agencies
together will provide $131,000 to develop this program, which will
employ and educate the 30 youth at 14 public housing sites throughout
San Francisco over the course of 10 weeks, from June 15 through August
21, 2009.

The 14 adults hired will provide mentorship and supervision to the
youth. The Japanese Community Youth Council (JCYC) serves as the
administrative and fiscal agency and will provide technical support as
needed. Each hired adults will work 17.5 hours per week for 9 weeks @
$11 per hour, which equates to approximately
$1800 for the duration of the program. Each hired youth will work 20
hours per week for 10 weeks @ $9.79 per hour, which equates to
approximately $2000 for the duration of the program.

The 14 SFHA Sites are:
Alemany, Ping Yuen & Ping Yuen North, Westbrook & Hunters Point East,
Alice Griffith, Robert Pitts Apartments, Westside Court, Bernal Plaza
East, North Beach Place, Hayes Valley, North & South Portrero Annex &
Terrace, Valencia Gardens, Hunters View, and Sunnydale

Today, Mayor Newsom also announced the expansion of DCYF’s Summer Lunch
Program from 6 SFHA sites to 14. The expansion will provide lunch to
potentially 3,979 youth 18-years old and younger, 5-days a week,
throughout the duration of the 10-week summer. The expansion of the
Summer Lunch Program is a reflection of the HOPE SF commitment to
connect new and increased resources to disconnected and isolated
communities. Mayor Newsom made today’s announcement in the
Bayview-Hunters Point district of San Francisco, at the Hunters View
public housing complex.
