We are the University of Arkansas chapter of the YouthMappers global network. This is where Razorbacks map.
What is YouthMappers?
Our Vision: Cultivate a generation of young people to develop leadership ability and create resilient communities around the world. To empower youth to define and change their world by mapping it.
Our Mission: YouthMappers is an international network of university-student-led chapters. We organize, collaborate, and implement mapping activities that respond to actual development needs around the globe – creating and using geospatial data and information that is made publicly available through open platforms. We share experiences and results while learning, leading, and making a difference in the world.
Founding universities are Texas Tech University (TTU), The George Washington University (GWU), and West Virginia University (WVU). Arizona State University is the lead fiscal and administrative partner, in collaboration with TTU, GWU, and WVU. The United States Agency for International Development’s GeoCenter generously supports this program.
