Create a volunteering service for 16-18 year olds to help with Covid-19.
Many 16-18 year olds are sat at home with nothing to do. With most jobs needing to be at least 18 years old, this is only way we can make our youth more productive during this time of crisis.
I am a 16 year old who, like most others, are sat at home with not much to do for the next couple of weeks/months. After participating in 2 weeks of work experience at a hospital, I immediately felt like I should return in the near future. Many young people are motivated to help the country, especially during these challenging times. So I believe that the youth can make themselves much more useful when it comes to irradicating this disease.
