Mill Brook Senior Buddy Program

What problem would you like to solve?

Community is unsafe for seniors and general public and seniors need services.

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

We, as seniors, do not feel safe and some of us don't have anybody to help us. We need a buddy system for seniors.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Young people hep the seniors (an intergenerational program) to go shopping, assist them to go to the clinic, or other needs.

Who would that help?

All seniors, especially those in public housing.

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Bronx and Citywide
