Essential

Buddy Systems for Woodhaven's Elderly

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

What problem would you like to solve?

The lack of support that Woodhaven's seniors have.

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

Senior citizens are valuable members of our community as they help to guide and teach us. As part of our youth, it is our duty to care for all of the members of the community. Woodhaven has a number of seniors that could use our support.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

A buddy program where young people can be connected to elders in their community to help with anything they may need.

Who would that help?

Woodhaven seniors who need assistance and Woodhaven young people who are willing to help.

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Woodhaven
