Describe the challenge you want to address:
Young residents in lower-income areas often lack essential skills in situational awareness, street smarts, and de-escalation, leading to increased risks to their safety.
Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
Implement a series of workshops focused on teaching situational awareness, self-defense, and de-escalation techniques to young people, particularly in public housing areas. These workshops aim to empower youth with the knowledge and skills to navigate potentially unsafe situations wisely and safely.
