School Down – help mitigate school closure crisis

I am looking for help to build out an idea for families critically impacted by long-term school closures.

Starting Monday, SF and NY are closing their public schools. Parents are running around trying to plan their next steps and the reality is that many of these children are going to be left home alone.

I want to build a simple interface to connect teens with their neighbors so they can offer daytime babysitting and for families to request necessary help.

Social distancing and isolation are necessary in this exact moment, but over the coming weeks and months we will need to help and rely on our neighbors to dig ourselves out of this situation.

If you have the skills and time to help, this sudden lack of childcare is going to quickly grow into a society-wide issue.
