Do you have specific Neighborhood(s) in mind?
Washington Heights, Inwood, Upper East Side, Everywhere
Which group(s) does your idea focus on? Select as many as apply.
Youth
Low Income People
LGBTQ+, "Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color"
Describe the challenge you want to address:
The problem that I see in my communities is the abuse that young people go through just for being themselves. There isn't enough communities for LGBTQ+ in the city, especially for the youth we need more.
What is the solution to the challenge?
We need more LGBTQ+ youth groups in not just one area of the city. More youth-run spaces. More kids get bullied everyday and most don't have a place to express themselves. Creating this space can help them be their true self without receiving hate for being themselves.
