The State of Young Philly

You might look around at the city of Philadelphia and wonder—as much good as there is, when will the city rise to another level? You’ll find your answer at the 3rd Annual State of Young Philly. Experience a fresh generation of 20- and 30-somethings who have bright, bold new ideas on how to improve Philadelphia. Instead of a pipe-dream, these young adults have serious ideas and plans that look to make a significant impact on improving the city in education, economy and sustainability. Among a variety of events during the two-week series is an open competition­—the YIP Challenge—designed to encourage young Philadelphians to not only introduce new ideas to improve the city, but immediately act upon those plans. The winner of the competition will be announced at the Final Showcase on Oct. 13 at the University Arts’ Hamilton Hall. If you’re tired of seeing things you dislike in the city and have ideas to make a positive change, State of Young Philly is the place to meet like-minded people, have fun, learn and make a legitimate change. -Reginald Hall Jr.
