What problem would you like to solve?
Asian Americans are severely under-represented in college sport scholarship programs and in professional sports.
Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?
Asian Americans are being left out of a source of college financial aid and a career path in sports. Without role models Asian youth do not find sports to be a viable pathway. Organized programs in baseball, football and basketball presently are scarce of do not exist in NYC Asian communities. Sports clinics geared to inner-city youth in Asian communities would introduce and encourage mainstream collegiate and professional sports in the community
What idea do you have to address the problem?
Weekly sports clinic program to introduce and help youth in Asian communities experience a wide array of collegiate and professional sports.
Who would that help?
Under-represented youth in sports, and inner-city youth who do not have access to open fields and organized programs as available to more suburban communities. Fill in the cuts to school sports programs.
What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan
