Each fall, Young Involved Philadelphia (YIP) hosts State of Young Philly (SOYP), a dynamic 10-day event series filled with programming designed to connect young Philadelphians of every background, showcase their positive impact, and amplify their voices. SOYP 2018 brings together nonprofits, government entities, civic leaders, and local businesses to help young Philadelphians identify what civic engagement means to them and the role each individual can play in driving change in their communities.
Join Minds Matter Philly for an engaging happy hour discussion on Philadelphia's public schools. Enjoy a drink, some snacks, and a riveting panel conversation while networking with other young professionals. Panelists will include current Minds Matter students, volunteers, a local public school administrator, and a graduate-level research student. Come hungry (and thirsty!) and join the debate!
At Minds Matter, our mission is to transform the lives of accomplished high school students from low-income families by broadening their dreams and preparing them for college success. To learn more or apply to volunteer, visit our website: http://mindsmatterphilly.com/
