Solution 2: Community Level

Problem: Poor Leadership and Disconnected Youth

Need: Neighborhood Relations Services

The NRS program will challenge students to reach their full potential by learning to navigate community challenges and improving their decision making skills. Each student will learn through activities and experiences that help to develop social, ethical, emotional, physical, and cognitive competencies. Our activities include:

• Community Familiarity and Awareness Workshop

• Identity Awareness Group

• Leadership Identity Development Workshop

• Causes and Issue Impact

• LID Motivational Speakers

• Community Service Workshop

• Restorative Justice Group

• Educational Importance Group Sessions

The 6 month cohort-based initiative is offered to residents of nycha developments; and supports youth development & youth leadership. Young adults will be prepared to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood while learning to design the intersections of neighborhood leadership and resident association responsibilities, as well as design collaborative actions around issues impacting the residence. This initiative will increase the presence of directly impacted people trained as neighborhood leaders on the resident association.

Students that meet the requirements and successfully complete the program will be offered Neighborhood Relations Services and Neighborhood Leaders positions as change agents working in public housing to drive down youth violence and incarceration.
