Youth are a very vulnerable population, and at the same time the population segment that is most positioned to bring about significant positive change in their society. I think it's a great idea to empower youth both to bring about change in their immediate families through economic growth, as well as in their communities.
If this takes off, it can potentially be applied across cities world-wide.
