What problem would you like to solve?

The decrease in Mental health and addiction in latinx youth

Lack of youth programing in Queens

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

It's important for our youth to have access to programing that will support their development. There appears to be a gap in a youth programing and a lack of physical space. A youth club house/hub would be amazing for the community. The Youth are our future! They are the future of the community, they will determine how our communities progress in the future.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Offer more community centers or free programs for youth. Host community meetings to get community input, ideas and buy-in.
