Describe the challenge you want to address:
Many urban communities suffer from mass incarceration. Many children grow up without a father or parent at all due to this. Many former incarcerated people may revert back to crime because of difficulty finding a job.
What is the solution to the challenge?
I think it'd be a great idea to implement a job training/workshop program specifically for formerly incarcerated people and their affected relatives. For children whose parents/guardians are/were incarcerated, possibly providing scholarships for university OR trade school. And if possible, a support group/mental health counseling for children and families affected.
