Brooklyn

Which group(s) does your idea focus on? Select as many as apply.

Youth

Describe the challenge you want to address:

Many children don't have simple every day skills. We prepare children for adulthood through career and academic achievement and children simply don't get enough experience in this area. By depriving children of the ability to be independent in everyday life, we take away the freedom of adult life from them.

What is the solution to the challenge?

Setting up self-study classes for children in the library.
Invite the elder volunteers to work with children. They have to speak Russian
