Save Our Children
What problem would you like to solve?
Junior High School students are at an underserved age when it comes to summer camps and afterschool programs. Programs are typically for 11 and under or 14 and over.
Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?
Middle school aged children have little recreational activities to occupy their time and promote their development.
What idea do you have to address the problem?
Increase the staff and skillset of existing afterschool and summer camp programs so they can serve children 11-14 years. Ideally, there should be programs for children 2-18 that can collaborate with their peers and learn useful skills for next stages of life.
Who would that help?
Local youths and the neighborhoods they live in. Elders tend to feel uncomfortable with idle youths as their energy can easily be converted into negativity.
What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
Staten Island
