2022-07-19 19:19:39 UTC

something that has changed is the homeless population

Mia Muniz

2022-07-19 19:19:48 UTC

Some of the needs were some more police men to minimize the crime rate.

karelynbautista — 2022-07-19 19:19:51 UTC

I did syep last summer. I made a presentation of slides about environmental racism. I think it was ok but it prepared me for projects at school.

Eliany Reyes

2022-07-19 19:19:57 UTC

I feel like an issue that has stayed the same is the sanitation issue with all the garbage.

Karelyn Bautista

karelynbautista — 2022-07-19 19:20:47 UTC

lots of stores opening and closing with in a couple months. lots of gun violence and such.

I feel like my neighborhood still need's more gun control.

Louisa Tetteh

2022-07-19 19:21:46 UTC

As of last week compared to my observations from last year, nothing has really changed in terms the number of trees in my neighborhood.

Mia Fernandez

2022-07-19 19:22:21 UTC

I think its mostly the same It most likely has gotten worse gentrification wise.

Gabriel Rodriguez

2022-07-19 19:29:41 UTC

Something similar is the need for people to come together. Some that has changed is that now we need more of an impact towards crime.

Tobore Akpoigbe

2022-07-19 21:08:37 UTC

Whats similair is the same amount of garbage. What changed is that theres less smokers than there used to be and thats good, so less cig buds all over the place.

Janaya hicks

2022-07-19 21:09:40 UTC

Not much changed from last summer something that did change was the cleaning not much though because they could clean up more in the buildings they started to do it every morning for outside but not in the buildings .

Reem Elfaki

2022-07-19 21:10:17 UTC

I have participated in this program in summer 2021 and we focused on community building and needs. It was a cool experience because I got to know more about my neighborhood and talk more about it.

Isabella kore

2022-07-19 21:10:53 UTC

I participated last year during the pandemic and I did my project on homelessness in my neighborhood. The series was fun and definitely an eye opener.

Emmanuel Vargas F

emmanuelvargas791 — 2022-07-19 21:11:14 UTC

2022-07-19 21:11:27 UTC

I did this last year. We were focusing on the decade of fire and doing the project for it. I wasn’t able to come to all the meetings the last 2 weeks because I travelled.

Reem Elfaki

2022-07-19 21:11:29 UTC

I feel that the issue has stayed the same which was more diversity of people and more security protection. I think nothing had changed about that.

Isabella Kore

2022-07-19 21:11:38 UTC

Not much has changed, homelessness is still an issue but I will say there has been a higher rate of crime since last year when i participated.

Janell Acquah

2022-07-19 21:11:55 UTC

I'm Janell, I love volleyball. I'm in the middle of an outgoing and introverted person. I'm very into fashion and very into my future plans.

Aboubakary Sidibey

2022-07-19 21:13:10 UTC

The things that are similar from this time and last time is the violence and the littering problem.

Marvin

2022-07-19 21:13:29 UTC

there is a lot of crackheads that are not afraid to jump at you and people in my neighborhood end up smacking crackheads whenever they are sleep which is messed up but sometimes the crackheads start it

Janell Acquah

2022-07-19 21:13:58 UTC

I participated in decade of fire last year in 2021. I focused mainly on the amount of homeless people that were in the neighborhood and how bad it's getting. The series helped me realize that there's more of a history behind the place I live at.

gratccelli akre

2022-07-19 21:14:56 UTC

i particpated in february and my project was on the enviroment of my neighborhood being filled with litter. when i was researching i actually realized more about why neighborhoods like mine have more litter problems than usual.

Myah Ovalle

2022-07-19 21:15:02 UTC

nothing has changed since last year, the rent is still rising and the roads have gotten worse .

Janell Acquah

2022-07-19 21:15:47 UTC

I feel like homelessness is still something that needs to be worked on in my neighborhood, but I started to notice a lot of inflation happening.

Emmanuel Vargas F

emmanuelvargas791 — 2022-07-19 21:16:20 UTC

I joined SYEP in 2021. We focused on solving problems in my/ other communities around NYC, mostly the Bronx. I loved this because I got to know a bit more about my community.

Janaya

2022-07-19 21:19:06 UTC

I’m an old soul and I am very independent and I’ve grown toward myself and I love reading books

Marvin

2022-07-19 21:19:12 UTC

i am marvin and i am a relaxed person and i like to hang out with friends. i live in harlem and i like listening to drill music. i don't like to talk much when i'm in a group of people.

Emmanuel Vargas F

emmanuelvargas791 — 2022-07-19 21:33:48 UTC

In my community, I see the needs have not been provided to my people. Homelessness rates are actually going up and I see more trash everywhere in my neighborhood and the city itself.

Joel larios

2022-07-26 19:09:43 UTC

Honestly I can’t think of a well solution for stopping violence but having more protection, like I don’t think violence can just be forever gone so more protection can at least lower it a bit in my opinion

Lesly Jimenez

2022-07-26 19:09:47 UTC

my topic is gang violence and some solutions is have programs for young people in gangs or troubled youths to guide them towards the right things

Karelyn Bautista

karelynbautista — 2022-07-26 19:09:55 UTC

my project topic is gun violence a solution i'm thinking about it having more mental health resources and adding more gun laws.

Mia Muniz

2022-07-26 19:10:01 UTC

I think that a possible solution for the sanitation issue in my community is creating community service program opportunities to go around the neighborhood and pick up litter on the streets so that the community service program entices people to join.

Darius Hoyt

2022-07-26 19:10:16 UTC

My topic is trash/ litter, and A solution that I think would help is a better trash pick up schedule.

Kimira Colson

2022-07-26 19:10:57 UTC

I’m doing gun violence and I’m not really sure of a solution but I think reducing easy access to dangerous weapons🤷🏾‍♀️

FATOU CONDE 💓💓

2022-07-26 19:11:21 UTC

For my found issue I feel like just spreading the idea that theirs a reason for why theirs an over population of smoke shops near schools and it’ll make others aware

Marvin Legros

2022-07-26 19:11:58 UTC

My topic is cleanliness in nyc and I feel like we need to come together as a community and help clean little by little each week then we will see some change.

Saul Castillo De La Cruz

2022-07-26 19:12:11 UTC

My topic is about pollution and some solutions to pollution are recycling and using nontoxic/less toxic chemicals such as cleaners degreasers and other maintenance chemicals.

Eliany Reyes

2022-07-26 19:12:33 UTC

My issue is on sanitation and all the garbage around my neighborhood. A possible solution is people volunteering to clean up the streets and sanitations budget being raised.

Mia Fernandez

2022-07-26 19:12:45 UTC

The topic of my project is violence in my hood a solution can bring is making a center for people who are troubled and need help and who are doing this because they think they need to.

Katelynn Mendez

2022-07-26 19:14:08 UTC

I am someone who stays to there self but always tryna make sure if other people is good I’m someone who came a long way I recently made it out of depression and started going out more and enjoying life cus u only get one

Gabriel Rodriguez

2022-07-26 19:14:47 UTC

My topic is about the crime rate in my community, so I'm thinking ways of being able to prevent the rate of crime to make my community safer.

Yasmine Oumorou

2022-07-26 19:16:07 UTC

I was thinking of organizing protest for gun violence.

Katelynn Mendez

2022-07-26 19:19:29 UTC

The main issue in a lot of our neighborhoods is the violence gun violence and jus violence period and the solution will take a while cus there’s of a lot of reasons violence is happening right now

Akpotobore Akpoigbe

2022-07-26 21:09:06 UTC

My topic was on garbage in my neighborhood so mainly cleaning up, but people dont listen so the must hear first

Juliette Spencer

2022-07-26 21:09:31 UTC

I was thinking of how to help with the trash in my area

Mariah k

2022-07-26 21:09:57 UTC

there is already some donations sites for my violence cause and i would want to help families pay for the innocent people killed in the wrong place wrong time situations

MAry gyamerah

2022-07-26 21:10:43 UTC

My issue is the garbage around the Bronx and how it’s hard to prevent it because we don’t really get funded from the gov like that

Reem Elfaki

2022-07-26 21:11:00 UTC

My issue is lack of security and police. I am trying to have a solution for this issue is trying to gather people and talk it out. I wanna have so many voices so he was be heard. I wanna gather the people so we can like create posters or films about our neighborhood to make it a better place.

Isabella Kore

2022-07-26 21:11:44 UTC

My neighborhood issue is homelessness and I was looking into how the neighborhood has so many places that need to rent out and the idea of having a program that helps secure homeless people jobs or find some type of housing. I am not sure I just really want to do something that benefits them and isn't because people want them out of the neighborhood

Janell Acquah

2022-07-26 21:11:51 UTC

My topic is inflation and a solution I was thinking about is getting more people, not just me, to speak on how they feel about the issue and get all of us to speak up about it and continue to speak on it, so it gets recognized.

Aboubakary Sidibey

2022-07-26 21:12:23 UTC

I think we should set up garbage and recycling bins on every block and give rewards for the more you throw out using scanners on the bins like 10 cents the more you throw out.

Jorell Willis

2022-07-26 21:12:51 UTC

There are already people trying to combat violence so I'm thinking of joining them

Janaya hicks

2022-07-26 21:13:45 UTC

To be honest I don’t really know a solution to come up with because it’s like in order to fix the main issue in my neighborhood I need to fix the people and I can’t change nobody but myself so I’m not sure of a solution because I can’t control anyone or just tell them something and expect them to listen to me .

Myah Ovalle

2022-07-26 21:13:49 UTC

The main issue in my neighborhood is high rent causing homelessness. A possible solution for this is the community coming together to raise money to help people in need and give some of them proper housing.

gratccelli akre

2022-07-26 21:14:17 UTC

my topic is about the lack of healthy food for low-income areas. im not sure how it can be effectively changed but a solution im thinking about is to target and identify harmful ingredients that are distributed in foods / groceries in supermarkets and delis to prevent serious health issues.

I’m proud of the amount of information + interview information that I included in my project. I feel like I need to work on more of the amount of detail that I go into within each segment to make it longer and detailed enough for people to understand.

Something that I am proud of about my project that I was able to meet the requirement amount of time and that I tired to meet all requirements. I think something that I need to work on is organizing my project more like put it in a better order.

I’m proud of how I got to see other sides of the Bronx such as going to the event and interviewing other people, Many places need work just some don’t see/say something about it.
