Describe the challenge you want to address:
While the community is currently expanding at a rapid rate, the community is lacking in Arts+Cultural development activities for all people, young and old. With the consistent+building of apartments/ apartment buildings the community grows visually but not mentally or emotionally. The children need a place the provides opportunities such as dance, art. step, etc. The adults + older adults could use the same outlets.
What is the solution to the challenge?
By bringing initiatives to the neighborhood that provide services to ranging age groups similar to that of arts, East New York will make the greatest difference in creating a true community while expanding the capabilities of both young and old alike. By having a local cultural program for the residents, you get to know your neighbors, share information, learn new skills, and expand knowledge in different areas. Lastly, hold you and your neighbors accountable for the success of your community.
