Located in every borough and accessible citywide through a digital platform, it will serve as both an out-of-school-time destination and an emergency support center—offering virtual and in-person access to social, academic, emotional, and professional development resources. The Youth Hub will represent arts and culture, college and career readiness, public safety, education, social services, health and wellbeing, civic engagement, and every aspect that has an impact on the lives and outcomes of youth. \n\nEvery youth who enters—physically or digitally—will be paired with a Life Advisor and gain direct access to a coalition of vetted community-based organizations that deliver wraparound services tailored to each individual’s needs. The Youth Hub will be a safe space to be seen, heard, and supported—a place of refuge, recreation, and transformation.\n\nWith a holistic approach to wellness and wealth, the Youth Hub will teach young people that health is wealth, empowering them to use food as medicine, embrace mental and emotional wellness, and build financial literacy and generational wealth. From nutrition labs to entrepreneurship workshops, trauma-informed counseling to peer mentorship pipelines, the Youth Hub will be a living blueprint for equity, legacy, and youth-led progress.</div></dd>\n<dt name=\"textarea-1758648114412-0\">What is the problem your idea aims to address?</dt>\n<dd id=\"textarea-1758648114412-0\" name=\"textarea\"><div>Youth across NYC face rising mental health challenges, academic disengagement, gang and cyber violence, lack of access to safe spaces, and limited exposure to financial literacy and wellness education. The Youth Hub addresses these gaps by offering 24-hour, borough-wide access to trusted adults, peer mentors, and holistic services that support youth success and resilience.</div></dd>\n<dt name=\"checkbox-group-1756922140917-0\">Which groups does your idea focus on?
