Describe the challenge you want to address:

There is a lot of separation between communities in Staten Island. Staten Island has many different communities that include youth, older adults, people disabilities, limited english speakers, ect. These people listed are faced with issues such as loneliness, limited social connections, vulnerability, mental health, and more.

What is the solution to the challenge?

I believe a volunteer buddy system can be incredibly beneficial to many communities on SI. With this system we can foster social connections, support vulnerable populations, build up the Island as a whole. A buddy system can offer support for daily tasks, companionship, emotional well-being, a sense of security, and more
