Get Involved: Join the Young Planners Group

APA realizes the importance of cultivating and inspiring the next generation of leaders and innovators for the organization and the planning field.

The Young Planners Group (YPG) plays a critical role in doing this and APA provides support, training, and opportunities for knowledge exchange among YPGs across our chapter. 

What is the Young Planners Group?

YPGs are a community within the APA, which focuses on providing young planners or emerging professionals with guidance, resources, and professional opportunities so that they can excel in their professional careers and become the planning leaders of the future. Young planners are those between the ages of 18 and 35 years old.
