"Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color"
Describe the challenge you want to address:
I see many children and teenagers spending hours in the park, where they are exposed to theft, fights, drugs, etc. There are also many veterans who go out on the streets because they don't want to stay home or seek help, which leads to personal neglect, substance abuse, and mental health issues.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Short programs that help them feel they have advanced in both their physical and intellectual abilities. This way, there will be continuous incentives for them. They will feel included and valued, where family economic status is not an obstacle.
