Young & Emerging Planners Group

The Orange County Young & Emerging Planners Group strives to create a social and professional network among students, young professionals, and the planning community. As part of the American Planning Association, Orange Section, OC YEP serves as a resource to engage other young, interested urban planners toward membership and involvement in APA conferences, workshops, and activities. Our goal is to create programs and activities that inspire, motivate, and connect with other members.
