Since 1851, the American Geographical Society's (AGS) vision is to be the foremost champion of geography for the benefit of society. To do this, we convene a diverse global community of innovators, thinkers, and practitioners; create and curate geographical knowledge, learning, and exploration; and advance geographic science and technologies to address society’s challenges and opportunities.

 

Our efforts include:

• support for AP Human Geography teachers with grants for classroom resources and opportunities for professional development,

• giving high school students the chance to develop their geospatial technology skills while building online resources for local communities and international humanitarian efforts through our TeenMaptivists initiative,

• connecting leading minds from across the world to discuss how geographical thinking and geospatial technologies can address global challenges through our annual Geography 2050 symposium and EthicalGeo initiative,

• offering undergraduate and graduate students opportunities to build writing portfolios and advance their research through our Scholar-Internships and Council Fellowships, and,

• promoting a love of all things geographical through our social media outreach, DailyGeo newsblasts, and weekly Map of the Week and AGS Globe features.

 

With your help, we can continue and grow these efforts, giving the leaders of today the perspectives to make informed decisions, while building a new generation of geographically-informed thinkers ready to confront the challenges of tomorrow.
