Inspired from Behind the Screen

Before joining TeenMaptivists I wasn’t very familiar with what I was going to be doing. But with the help of my teacher, she walked me through the steps to set up my account and explained to me what TeenMaptivist is. At first, I wasn't too sure how I was going to be able to help out communities from behind a screen The more I became aware of what I was

mapping it made more sense to me that I was helping out communities who were otherwise invisible on maps. Mapping has been one of my new favorite things to do now each morning, especially since we also get doughnuts. After I graduate, I want to remain an active mapper and maybe even join a YouthMapping chapter. It really makes me glad knowing that I could make an impact on communities around the world from my own high school computer lab.
