What problem would you like to solve?

Understaffed senior nursing homes.

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

It's important because senior are often mistreated in senior nursing homes.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Have high school students volunteer for senior services in return they will get a scholarship for college if they volunteer for a certain amount of hours.

Who would that help?

There will be more staff in senior services so the elderly won't be mistreated.

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Borough: Manhattan
