New Article on Mapping Blog

While the articles on this blog focus on "all we need to know and do" to help youth in high poverty areas have support that helps them move safely from birth to work, the Mapping For Justice blog, started in 2008, focuses on ways that maps and visualizations can be tools to help meet this goal.

I posted a new article yesterday, using the graphic shown below. I hope you'll read it and skim through other articles on that blog.

While I'm aware of some groups collecting information about youth serving organizations in Chicago and other cities, I've not found any who are doing the analysis of "What programs exist, where are they most needed, where are the voids?"  or writing stories weekly that intend to increase the number of people using this information to help well-organized non-school tutor/mentor and learning programs reach more K-12 youth in every high poverty area of Chicago or other cities.

If you know of such research please share links in the comment section, or on any of the social media channels where  you can connect with me.

Thanks for reading. Have a great week.
