would absolutely love to be part of those conversations.
1:31:52
This is something that I've been, like, yelling about for the last 3 years.
1:31:55
And also just thinking about, you know, even the young people that were serving in our programs.
1:31:59
Like, if there's a way for us to connect the services.
1:32:02
Right?
1:32:02
A lot of times, they need, you know, whether it's cash assistance.
1:32:05
Because they don't just serve young people.
1:32:07
Right?
1:32:07
Even when you think about, like, S YEP, we have young people who are up to 2024 there.
1:32:11
So, like, of them are on cash assistance during the regular year because that's the only way that they're able to have means.
1:32:16
So how we've been connecting the services, making sure the providers are all on the same page.
1:32:20
So please count me in Sure.
1:32:22
For us to talk and work together.
1:32:24
Because like I said, we are at a place where we we need to reimagine the work force for young people in New York City, and I think this is a good place that we can start.
1:32:32
Absolutely.
1:32:32
Thank you.
Scott French
1:32:33
Thank you.

And just to piggyback off of that, I think, you know, one of the reasons why I was so upset about the loss of the jobs plus programs is that I thought, you know, it was a missed opportunity because of the the high rate of you know, youth on youth violence and unemployment.
