NYPL English Practice
- Do you have specific Neighborhood(s) in mind?
- University Heights, High Bridge, Concourse Village
- Which group(s) does your idea focus on? Select as many as apply.
- Limited English Speakers
- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- The Bronx is home to lots of immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries and due to this lots of adult Bronxites can't speak English. Because of this, it is hard to get a job in the Bronx if you don't speak Spanish, because of the rise of people speaking only Spanish.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- The money allocated to the NYPL can be used for consistent, weekly programs at libraries across the Bronx where English is taught and practiced so that there can be less divide between certain groups of prople, and so more English natives, and immigrants can receive employment using one official language.
- Please provide your Zip Code
