Hudson Valley Mappers (HVM) is a local chapter of YouthMappers, a project of the USAID GeoCenter. HVM is based at Vassar College, and most of our projects focus on mapping in our community, the City of Poughkeepsie, NY and the wider Hudson Valley. For this lightning talk, we aim to share some of the work we’ve engaged with in the last year. In particular, we will highlight our work with youth through the Dutchess County No Child Left Inside (NCLI) program and our work with Hudson River Housing (HRH), an affordable housing group in Poughkeepsie.
