APA New Jersey is a Proud Supporter of the Center for Community Planning
The Center for Community Planning is a nonprofit organization in New Jersey with a mission of engaging young people in the civic processes that govern their communities and guiding them in critically evaluating them. The Center does this by immersing youth in the City Planning Institute, a program designed and tailored to support young people in creating professional community development proposals to present to their elected officials and engage them in real city planning projects happening in their cities.
In the Summer of 2024, the City Planning Institute (CPI) continued its mission of inspiring young people to critically assess their neighborhoods and communities and make thoughtful proposals for changing them. The CPI was run in four cities this summer, yielding the development of real projects that will support real planning efforts in each area. This year, the Center for Community Planning is proud to share that all students were paid a stipend for the valuable contributions they made to their city’s planning and community development efforts.
