Policy Convenings

Young Involved Philadelphia often hosts (usually free!) policy convenings around public policy important to young Philadelphians.

Policy Convenings bring together policymakers, advocates, practitioners, and community members for timely conversations about the issues shaping Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Through panels, briefings, and public discussions, YiP creates space to explore policy ideas, share expertise, and connect civic engagement to real-world decision-making.

This page serves as a home for those conversations, including recordings and related resources from past convenings. Whether you are revisiting a discussion or engaging with our work for the first time, Policy Convenings are designed to make these conversations accessible.
