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 the Committee of Seventy, Temple University's MPP Program and Young Involved Philadelphia for a panel discussion on the critical relationship between Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Current State Representatives will be on hand to discuss how this relationship works, what issues are impacted by decisions in the State House and how Philadelphians can effectively advocate at the state level.
