CMAP Seeks Future Leaders in Planning (FLIP) for 2011-2012 Session


Hello friends and colleagues:

Sorry if an earlier message tied up your email with the attachment! I’ve included a link to the application instead of including a PDF file.

Below is information about a program run the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning for Chicago region high school students interested in learning more about urban planning and contributing their perspectives and ideas. Those teens interested must complete materials by this Friday, Sept. 16th, 2011.  Click here for application.

See below for more information including website links to the program and content from the 2010-11 program participants.

The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning is currently seeking students for the Future Leaders in Planning (FLIP) program.  We're looking for students who are curious and eager to explore the world around them.  This is an opportunity for teens across the region to learn about northeastern IL and share thoughts with others from Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties. Participants will also meet and interact with selected regional leaders who make key planning decisions in our communities.

Please share the 2011-2012 FLIP application with local high school students who would like to learn about planning and contribute to a better future for our region. Students are required to submit basic contact information, a short narrative (essay) and a letter of recommendation from an adult by Friday, September 16, 2011.

Students from the 2010-2011 program learned about and made recommendations for Fairmont's Safe Routes to School Grant in Will County. View the final presentation PDF. You can view the slideshow of the final presentation, along with captions, on our Flickr pageFor more information, keep up with FLIP at its Facebook page or contact Ricardo Lopez at rlopez@cmap.illinois.gov or 312-386-8766 with any questions.
