    What problem would you like to solve?

    Many seniors who do not have families at home have no reason to leave their homes. The ones that do go to community centers, but do not have motivation for physical activity.

    Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

    Seniors who participate more in the community, who care physically active, can live longer and lead healthier lives.

    What idea do you have to address the problem?

    We should motivate seniors in community centers through physical activity. Many older asian people gather in parks and participate in light, physical exercise. We should learn these techniques in Black and Brown communities, light exercises that are not strenuous, but will help keep our older population active and can help them live longer and healthier lives.

    Who would that help?

    Seniors

    What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

    Manhattan, Dyckman, Inwood
