Empowering young professionals to define and change their world by mapping it.
YouthMappers
The Global Network
"Students and their faculty advisors in the US and in developing nations are invited to join YouthMappers, an international university consortium on Mapping for Resilience. The consortium organizes a global community of learners, researchers, educators, and scholars to create and use open geographic data that directly address locally defined development challenges worldwide.
The program supports university efforts to offer meaningful global learning experiences, build a socially engaged citizenry, enhance long-term scientific capacity around the world, and foster youth leadership."
