AED Social Change Design and the AED Center for Youth Development are thrilled to announce the release of the Community YouthMapping (CYM) YouthMapper Field Kit. Funded through Sappi Fine Paper’s Ideas that Matter program, the kit includes a custom-designed clipboard and survey pad, a small brochure, an ID badge and business cards, a window cling, a jacket, and a backpack.

This is the third Ideas that Matter grant awarded to AED Social Change Design, and our collaboration with youth development experts on this project was extremely rewarding. The CYM program mobilizes youth in canvassing their communities to identify available resources and analyze critical issues. This set of branded materials will equip youthmappers nationwide with practical tools for forming connections within their neighborhoods, while fostering pride and a collective identity.
