OpenStreetMap US

Since 2014 YouthMappers has been teaching university aged students about OSM and generating lots of data. In 2019 YouthMappers formed the Validation Hub to address potential data issues with YouthMappers projects, provide leadership and training to the YouthMappers network and deepen our commitment to the OSM community by being conscientious stewards of the data we produce. This talk will focus on the origins, work completed to-date and the path ahead for the YouthMappers Validation Hub.
