Thank you to @cnyfilm for shedding light on the ma Thank you to @cnyfilm for shedding light on the many career opportunities for students to consider within the film industry, especially for projects right here in #Syracuse. The partnership with @syracuseschools to create a film production CTE curriculum will help lay an unprecedented foundation for the high school students. The production community has benefited greatly from the advocacy centered around the skilled workforce and place marketing Central New York has to offer, and now so will our SCSD students. One of the reasons Syracuse Surge and all of the collaborative efforts driving the strategy works is because it is focused on inclusivity and growth within industries of the future. The STEAM school and workforce training center is a prime example of the way in which students will have the chance to learn skills they can apply and expand soon after graduating. The film program is another example of how Syracuse is growing while providing real career pathways for the next generation to consider. Thank you to: Elias Gwinn and the team at CNY Film Professionals for a great conference and the work the group does; Eric Vinal for continuing to promote Central New York as a prime area to shoot films; the crew of set professionals for exposing the unique jobs people may not even know about behind the scenes; and to the special guest and director, J.D. Dillard for coming to Syracuse to share his journey and experience from the other side of the lens. Thank you also to the local alliance of organizations supporting the film industry here in Syracuse.

Attorney General James revealed that the City of Syracuse was one of 10 cities to be awarded a Cities RISE (Responsible Investment and Strategic Enforcement) grant, in the amount of $965,000. The grant funding will be used to empower community members to build effective relationships with residents through an ambassador program, partnering with the Center for Court Innovation's Near Westside Peacemaking Project. The ambassadors will also assist the City's Department of Neighborhood and Business Development planners in developing and implementing long-term neighborhood plans, serving as Resurgent Neighborhood Initiative Ambassadors. Funding will also be designated towards increasing the legal team's capacity with support staff to help expedite processes leading to codes compliance by landlords.
Mayor Walsh spent time with a group of young peopl Mayor Walsh spent time with a group of young people from @syracuserise and the North Side Learning Center, offering insight into City government and ways to get involved in the community. Many of the youth, either in college or enrolled in local SCSD high school, are interested in learning more about the various career paths and service opportunities within government. Many organizations, like RISE and the North Side Learning Center, expose young people to topics, industries, jobs, interests, and resources that serve as a catalyst for the leaders of the future. When and wherever possible, do your part to support the youth in our community - you never know where the time you give may take them.
