San Francisco Young Planners
Youth Empowerment and Professional Development
The program seeks to educate and empower young leaders to explore the history and current work of urban planning, using the City of San Francisco as a living and breathing laboratory for knowledge and action. SF Young Planners learn the history, technical skills, and practical applications of the planning profession through an inquiry-based approach.
During the summer, interns are paired with department staff to work on a meaningful project under their mentorship and will contribute towards a meaningful final project that demonstrates their skills and competency as a young planner.
