State of Young Philly is back! The 2022 theme is “Gritty But Open: Ensuring Access for All Philadelphians.” This year we will focus on answering the question: “How can young adults in Philly ensure that services, and all forms of public life are within reach for all Philadelphians?”
We are so excited to be putting forward a lineup of diverse events from several local organizations. In order to ensure that every organization has the opportunity to participate and host an event we are extending the Request for Proposal (RFP) submission deadline until August 2nd and we are opening all organizations to submit a request.
Please reach out to partnerships@yip.org with questions.
