Are you a high school student in Hillsborough County and curious about how cities grow and change? Do you want to explore real-world urban planning, transportation, sustainability and economic development—all while touring your community and connecting with professionals?

Future Leaders in Planning (FLiP) is a hands-on summer program designed to introduce students to the world of urban planning—a field we often don’t discover until college. Through this immersive experience, students gain a deeper understanding of how communities are shaped.

FLiP 2025 runs June 9 – 13 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (June 13 is a half-day and will end at noon) and features an exciting mix of:

· Expert speakers from public and private sectors

· Interactive activities that bring planning concepts to life

· On-the-ground experiences with tours by foot, bus, streetcar and boat

· Networking opportunities with professionals and like-minded students

This free, week-long summer program is open to high school students (grades 9-12) in Hillsborough County, including private and homeschooled students.

Applications are open until April 18, 2025! Spots are limited, so don’t wait! Join us for an unforgettable experience in shaping the future of our community!
