Bio

I am a 20yr old female who used to work with city year new york it was my first expierience with a non-profit organization and while i loved their drive and purpose i felt as if we wern't dong enough and i hope this site gives me the opportunity to pick-up the slack.

Goals

  • I have an idea for a venture but no team
  • I want to help out a venture
  • I want to reach out to YV alumni
  • I once heard a guy from the bronx who works at bissel gardens say that the youth don't think anything of the community and i want to change his mind i want to start a group of children who are interested in the community and not just theirs but the whole of new york my goal is to have a group of children and teach them the importance of keeping the community a better place to live and i think it all starts with the look

Children, Community Beautification, Community Organizing, Education, Higher Education, Support for Young Women, Teen Pregnancy, Youth Empowerment

Hi! Welcome to GenV.net! I think you are absolutely right. Youth are concerned about what's going on in their community, and if given the opportunity, they can do a lot to solve issues that plague their communities. What kind of lessons do you want to teach the group of children? How will your venture help NY? Here is a link to resources that may help you get started:
