Putting youth on the map

The Putting Youth On The Map series is a training course for youth on how to create,utilize, and analyze map data. Participants learned about how map visualization can illustrate economic disparities, transportation gaps, voting trends and even food consumption. Organizers say this concrete evidence serves to reinforce their advocacy in political decision-making.“It gives youth tangible skills, so it can be applied to their own work."
