Since its launch in 2010, the Community Planning Assistance Program has been on a mission to provide dynamic, hands-on volunteer planning support to municipalities and community-based organizations across New Jersey.
From vision plans and housing needs assessments to environmental planning, site planning, transportation plans, and economic development initiatives, CPAP volunteers have been at the forefront of creating solutions that drive change. Whether it’s enhancing transit-oriented development, revitalizing neighborhoods through redevelopment plans, or improving recreation facilities, every project offers an incredible opportunity to make a lasting impact.
Most recently, CPAP has partnered with the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority on Transit Hub Planning, a project aimed at transforming key transportation areas to better serve local communities.
As a volunteer, you’ll be a part of an exciting, collaborative team, contributing your skills to make a tangible difference in your community while gaining valuable planning experience. Whether you’re an experienced planner or just starting, your efforts will be deeply appreciated and make a real difference.
