Geography + Giving = Awesome:
Surprise, surprise - Access Geographic is really into... Geography. There isn't a discipline like it and we feel honored that our clients have provided us diverse challenges to explore and leverage Geography as a problem-solving resource for over five years now. This opportunity has also allowed us to take our passion for Geography beyond the workplace and into communities through volunteer projects (with an affinity for schoolyard maps) and Geographic Education Programs. If interested, we're definitely here to help you do the same!
Share Your Work - It's Interesting, Really!:
Geography is an engaging topic and we definitely encourage you to consider sharing your geographic exploits and exploration within your community. It's really easy to assume your area of expertise isn't of general interest, but you'd be surprised! Whether it's K-12 or general public, exploring Geography and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) offers a unique perspective - and the secret weapon is that maps are always fun... Equally, over the past decade, geographic awareness has evolved - with GIS now being consumed daily by most folks, whether through car navigation systems or online searches, there's a growing intrigue into how all this data is actually generated and used - so don't underestimate your niche, it probably has the makings of an interesting outreach presentation!
Opportunities & Resources:
Anytime is a good time for Geography (obviously...), but Geographic Awareness Week/GIS Day and Earth Day present particularly nice opportunities to engage with existing community events or initiate your own activity. Here are a few useful geographic education organization links offering project materials and outreach information that may help inspire you (all great groups!):
- National Geographic Alliance Network
- American Association of Geographers
We're Happy to Help!:
As always, please feel free to Contact Us anytime on the topic of Geographic Community Service Projects - we're definitely interested in hearing your ideas, happy to share our experiences and would be honored to assist.
