MapAmerica and ILiveHere

MapAmerica and ILiveHere are two initiatives of Youthline America, a nonprofit focused on making information about local youth-related resources available to youth nationwide. They embody what we’re about, tools that enable people to leverage distributed infrastructure but think and act locally. Together they will operate on top of the largest database of youth-related resources and information in the world; information gathered and curated by youth themselves through local mapping projects.

The entire application eventually integrates into back office time and workforce management tools.
