"I didn’t know what city planning was before this, but now I see it everywhere! At the YEP! event, we got to design our own neighborhoods, think about parks and housing, and even talk about how to make cities safer and more fun for kids like me. Earning the City Planning patch made me feel like my ideas matter. Now I want to help make my city better when I grow up!"
Amara, Girl Scout Cadette
