More opportunities for youth
something like more opportunities such as clubs, internships, etc, for youth to engage in STEM activities such as creating rockets, making bridges, coding, science experiments, etc. in community centers. If theyre closer to the youth i think they will be more likely to give it a try -- Also, some families may not be able to make time in their schedule or afford transportation. I think this will be very beneficial because I know that for me, I want to do stuff like this, but find it hard since opportunities are so often far away from me.
This proposal has been accepted because:
Type of funding: Programs and services (non-capital)
Rough cost estimate: Between $500,000 and $2 million
Evaluation notes:
✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.
✅ This idea is within the City's jurisdiction.
✅ This idea doesn't name a specific vendor.
✅ This idea would not incur costs indefinitely.
Justification: N/A
Other notes: There are no current free opportunities that span this range of identities/topics but could overlap with existing investments in CBOs, K12, and postsecondary institutions. The estimated cost range depends on the size/scope of the program.
Thank you for sharing your idea. This idea and its evaluation have been forwarded to the budget delegates. They will use this information to group together similar ideas, narrow down options based on community needs, and develop fully detailed proposals for you and your community to vote on in October 2023.
