Welcome to the Esri YPN Networking space. This area is designed to help connect you with other professionals who are either young in their geospatial careers, are still discovering their GIS journey, or are now giving back as GIS mentors.


Create a post and specify how you’d like to connect with others. Here are some examples of how to use this space:

  • Connect with peers in similar roles and industries (be specific in how you’d like to connect)
  • Share upcoming events or event activities (conference socials, special interest groups, meetups)
  • Offer mentoring opportunities or seek mentorship
  • List training programs or seek best practices
  • Stay informed on industry and GIS trends
  • Connect on other relevant topic areas

 

Make sure to enter a best-fitting label from the list included during post creation. At least one label is required.


If you have any technical questions, please direct those to the Esri YPN Questions Board.

Thank you for sharing this guidance! I just introduced myself in this space and I’m excited to connect with other GIS professionals. Are there any upcoming virtual events or mentorship opportunities that you would recommend for new members of YPN?

Thanks again @RosemaryBoone for this post which has created lots of thoughtful responses.  I was at a meeting yesterday that highlighted how cities and local NGOs can work together.  My city has 9 sister cities around the globe, and we are definitely seeking ways to bring in more youth involvement, especially related to helping our youth connect with their peers in locations around the globe.  Keep up your good works with YPN, and hopefully some new members will be able to share with the great works being done through the YPN platform.

@AhmedYasser Great question.  Let's see what we can find out from ESRI....   I can point to lots of great activities being ccarried out globally, but wondered whether the countries consider them as part of theur /sdg success stories?   /with the high level UNGA 2025 taking place this week in New York, it would have been a great place to ask world leaders who are using ESRI software and tools in their countries....
