What is TeenMaptivists?
TeenMaptivists is a national network of high-school, student-led chapters. Through guest speakers, field mapping, national mapathons, and tailored training workshops, we are instilling the power of community and importance of activism in students. Through publicly available, open-source GIS platforms, students can leverage the power of geography and cartography to make a difference in their communities.

Our Chapters!

This Spring we welcomed 14 new chapters into our TeenMaptivists network, bringing us to a total of 20 chapters across 11 states in the U.S.! We sourced our new chapter advisors exclusively from our 2024-2025 AGS Teacher Fellows; a cohort of AP Human Geography teachers from across the country, who are dedicated to increasing spatial literacy, and opportunities in the geospatial world for their students. We are eager to continue growing our network and aim to reach 50 schools in the Fall 2025 semester!
