Do you have specific Neighborhood(s) in mind?: Wakefield and Williamsbridge
Which group(s) does your idea focus on? Select as many as apply.: Youth

Older Adults
Describe the challenge you want to address:: Older adults are often overlooked and made to feel they are not vital to the community and are waiting to die. The Department For The Aging (DFTA) gets the lowest/least funding of all the agencies. There are not enough services or activities for the seniors.
What is the solution to the challenge?: More services and programs educating the elderly around health issues and management, cybersecurity, wills, estates, proxies, powers of attorney, food delivery to the homebound seniors, inter-generational activities where seniors can visit children in libraries, schools and daycare centers to volunteer to read to kids. This will keep seniors active and alert and will build relationships. Youth, on the other hand, can have stimulating conversations and discussions with the seniors, as well as teach them the basics of computers.
Please provide your Zip Code: 10467
