Describe the challenge you want to address:
The challenge/problem that I see in my community is that afterschool youth don't know where to go but want to spend time with friends and not use money. Teenagers tend to find themselves in trouble and doing things they shouldn't.
What is the solution to the challenge?
To solve this issue, I propose we open more Rec Centers and put back the ones that were shut down after Covid. In the center there could be afterschool services and a Basketball gymnasium. This would give teens safe and healthy alternatives for the use of their time after school. This should able be a Free/Very cheap program.
