DESCRIPTION:Technical training cannot build a sustainable local chapter\; o
 ne must change the culture of their community. This is why\, as President 
 of YouthMappers OAU chapter\, I prioritised shifting our chapter culture f
 rom Learn > Implement\, to Learn-and-Implement. During my time in YouthMap
 pers\, I found that chapters need one thing to stick: PURPOSE. Members nee
 d to feel like they’re helping solve problems in their local communities
 .\n\nOur purpose came in the form of an accessibility project. Members lev
 eraged mapathon data to quantify access to public buildings within Ife Cen
 tral.\n\nTo me\, PURPOSEFUL Mapping is the future of successful West Afric
 an chapters. PURPOSEFUL Mapping puts geospatial work at the centre of stud
 ents’ minds rather than on the sidelines. When students know they will b
 e building maps for projects that matter to them\, they’ll be eager to l
 earn! They won’t see your chapter as another club where you participate 
 once a semester to compete for prizes. Instead\, your chapter will become 
 the students’ centre of professional development. And with KoboCollect\,
  Mapillary\, and JOSM\, our technical stack\, your chapter will be sustain
 able.
