Language Access Service

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

What problem would you like to solve?

Language barrier for new immigrants

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

Language barriers can make new immigrant and refuges feel isolated, hopeless, and anti-social, which often leads to depression.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Create language access/interpreter service for individuals who are non-English speaking or have limited English proficiency free of charge.

Who would that help?

Immigrants facing language barriers

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Sunset Park
