MAPSCorps APCC
Albany Park Community Center
Are you ready to build skills for your future career, collect data to help your local neighborhood, and get paid in the process? Welcome to MAPSCorps!
Our Mappers build skills to prepare them not only for college, but their careers! By mapping your community, working with your team, and preparing for our symposium, you'll learn valuable skills in data science, research, and advocacy. You will work with your team to share community resources and help our neighborhoods. At the end of the summer, you'll present your findings at our annual Scientific Symposium.
In this in-person program, you will meet up with your team each morning to set your goals and assignments. Then, you'll visit your assigned locations and use your provided smartphone to collect data. We'll provide you with a bus pass so you can travel around Chicago and map your locations. Mappers will collect data Mondays through Thursdays, with our in-person teams working 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Mappers earn the ASM stipend, plus MAPSCorps pays an extra stipend for your work.
