YouthMappers not only equipped me with technical skills but also instilled in me confidence, leadership, and the ability to make tangible, positive changes in the world. To any student thinking about joining YouthMappers, my advice is simple: take the leap. You never know how far you can go until you start mapping your own journey.

The journey isn't just about maps; it's about the stories we tell, the communities we empower, and the collective impact we make. Together, we continue to map, learn, and grow, weaving a story that transcends borders and echoes the resounding impact of geospatial technology in our collective pursuit of positive change.

"This event was a great example of how collaboration across year levels can create a powerful learning experience. The technical sessions provided context, while the workshop translated concepts into action."

"One of the most rewarding outcomes of those workshops have been witnessing chapter members take ownership of their learning and put their skills into practice. Seeing their initiatives and accomplishments presented at SOTM Asia was a proud moment that validated the collective efforts of the community. It proved that YouthMappers in Bangladesh have the potential to make a lasting impact, not just locally but also on a broader scale."

"This event showcased real-time data collection, community collaboration, and practical application of open geospatial tools. The captured imagery was uploaded to the Mapillary platform, enabling global access and use in mapping tools like OpenStreetMap."
