Limited English Speakers
Immigrants/ Migrants
Parents
"Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color"
Describe the challenge you want to address:
There is currently a large number of non-english speakers living in NYC. Many of them struggling with understanding people with a language barrier. A handful of times, I have had immigrants or non-english speakers asking where they can learn English to better understand people without the need for a translator
What is the solution to the challenge?
A program that can teach Arabic/spanish speakers how to read and write in English. This can help them attain better jobs, reduce the need for a translator and help them connect to new people
