1UP Youth City Builders

Our youth leadership program runs year-round for high school students throughout the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, and Kitchener-Waterloo. We host events and support school chapters led by high school students.

Customized Workshops

We offer in-class workshops for students in grades 5 and up that connect real-life urban planning and design applications to geography, civics, social studies, and more. We will design the workshop to complement your curriculum and instructional goals.

Grade 9 OPPI Unit of Study

Ontario Professional Planners Institute (OPPI) has recently introduced a comprehensive unit of study designed to introduce Grade 9 Geography students to the fundamentals of planning.

Through this course, students will learn the significance that planning plays in their lives – sparking curiosity about how communities are built, sustained, and improved.
