Do you have specific Neighborhood(s) in mind?
East Elmhurst
Which group(s) does your idea focus on? Select as many as apply.
Youth
Immigrants/ Migrants
Describe the challenge you want to address:
I have observed how a lot of immigrant youth have difficulty socializing in their place of work, at school, outside, with authorities like the police, teachers and community leaders and this has been causing problems with their mental health, substance abuse, skipping school and work etc. Making them choose the streets, or going to delinquent groups etc.
What is the solution to the challenge?
The solution is to create programs that are established in schools, workplaces, and institutions that invite the youth to transition from the things they are experimenting with and to integrate themselves in activities like sports, academics (reading and writing), technology, entertainment, and workshops about living and navigating the new experience as immigrants.
