- no grocery stores
- carpooling for grocery shopping
- create pride within Ivanhoe within the younger community
- use that pride and passion to fight crime, and clean up the neighborhood
- How to get information out to people quicker
- build an interest in Ivanhoe from the outside community to get people to move in
- power in numbers, work together to find the crime

from the list above, i pulled out the list below of things that stuck out to me even further and that has potential.
- creating pride in Ivanhoe within the young community
- inform people about the little things they can do to liven up their houses and take care of them
- bring street lights to the dark areas of the neighborhood
- bring more attention to The Q and get it more involved with the neighborhood and get the youth more involved with the center
My initial idea was to figure out a way to bring pride to the youth in Ivanhoe. If we could empower the youth, they could bring a new level of help to the community to make it better in every way. However, if I went with number 2 that could lead into a direct correlation with getting people outside of the neighborhood interested in the neighborhood and want to move in. Thinking about number three, installing one street lamp costs $30,000, however, bringing awareness to this need isn't a bad idea, it would help fight crime at night. Idea 4 could work with idea 1. If we get the youth active at The Q, The Q could start to build a sense of pride in the youth needed help get them active in Ivanhoe.
For 1, Yolanda at the Nutter Ivanhoe Neighborhood Center is the Youth Coordinator
For 2, I could approach the local Habitat for Humanity and other local house building company to partner with.
For 3, I would need to work with city engineers and possibly the Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council to write a proposal.
For 4, work with The Q directly to update their program and more
