Describe the challenge you want to address:

Immigrants and refugees who are settling into NYC but don't speak English are at a disadvantage in thriving in this city because they do not speak English. It limits their ability to access educational or job opportunities and puts them in a perpetual state of poverty.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

Making English Speaking workshops and classes readily accessible and available to immigrants and refugees will give them the ability to expand their economic opportunities and allow them to adjust to the city.
