Changes at "Rites of Passage Youth Program"

What problem would you like to solve?

We have too many frustrated youth that need direction as they transition between childhood and adulthood.

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

It is important for the continuation of life, to get youth on the right path and to help them become productive members of society.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

We need a culturally-based rites of passage program that would teach youth much needed skills, provide mentorship and guidance as they learn who they are in their next phase of life.

Who would that help?

It would help young and older residents connect with one another by building bonds of investing in our youth and securing our elderly.

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

East Flatbush
