Describe the challenge you want to address:

Lack of community participation, engagement, or connection amongst older Asian folk. Disinformation from social media and stigma of seeking help or connecting and socializing with strangers or "outsiders".

What is the solution to the challenge?

Encouraging cross-cultural events in public spaces (resolves distrust of others, isolated communities). Setting up tea to discuss and encourage neighbors to connect with each other and form friendships. Work with community organizations to establish job Corps for older/Limited English-speaking adults/parents to stay employed and civically engaged.
