FIG-YS Volunteer Community Surveyor Program - expression of interest
1 July 2017
Joint competence based volunteer program with Global Land Tool Network
(GLTN) (facilitated by UNHabitat) and the International Federation of
Surveyors Young Surveyors Network (FIG YSN)
Surveyors of Tomorrow - it is us who should be making a difference in
the world. With an estimated 70%
of undocumented land worldwide, increasing effects of climate change,
rapid urbanization and increasing
competition over land, a limited resource, we are facing several
challenges.
Together with Global Land Tool Network (GLTN), the FIG Young
Surveyors Network (FIG YSN) established
a competence based volunteer program for Young Surveyors also known as
Volunteer Community Surveyor Program (VCSP). Participants in this
program will be known as GLTN/ FIG YSN Volunteer Community Surveyor
(VCS). VCSP is an innovative volunteer program that is a powerful driver
for both social impact and professional development. The VCSP leverages
on the skills, experience, talents and education of young surveyors,
matches this competence with the needs of GLTN, particularly in GLTN’s
county level implementation plans and programs.

of Trainers or Awareness Events? And would you like to volunteer
your time and skills to join an initiative of the Global
Land Tool Network and the FIG young surveyors.
