Describe the challenge you want to address:

Some challenges the youth faces is not feeling safe of having stuff to keep them out the streets. Some may not have people the call family so they go to the streets and meet people that they think is family but they not. Some challenges immigrants face in my community is having programs that help or look out for them. There isn't things where they get help, taught, etc without feeling out of place or targeted.

What is the solution to the challenge?

We can build realistic programs the youth would enjoy such as video games, free gym membership, free beauty classes, etc. we can also build programs for immigrant who struggle with speaking English but some may not have time feel out of place or targeted so we can create virtual programs such as a zoom meeting etc to feel safe and ok making them want to do these things. Also we can create more festivals involving many countries not just some on certain occasions.
