Esri Young Professionals Network Mentorship

Looking for GIS Volunteers

Hi everyone,
I am working on a public health project called Replenish NutrAI and we are looking for GIS volunteers who want to use their skills to make a real impact.

What We Are Building

We are creating a Clinical GPS that helps people find safe, clinically backed supplements based on their location, environment, age, and personal needs. Nothing like this has been done before. The system uses GIS, GeoAI, and public health data to map supplement access, quality, environmental influences, and accuracy across counties and zip codes.
