What problem would you like to solve?
Lack of youth education on worker's right
Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?
In the 5 boroughs youth begin working at 14 years old through SYEP and other means. At no point is education about their rights and proper treatment at a work placed discussed. There is also no information provided on resources to turn to.
What idea do you have to address the problem?
Creating a program to educate youth on their rights as workers in part with SYEP programming and a traveling programming. They would learn about proper workplace treatment and resources to access if their rights are violated
Who would that help?
Youth/low-income youth 22-14 year olds
What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
Brooklyn
