PYN's vision is that all of Philadelphia's young
people will take their rightful places as full and
contributing members of a world-class workforce for
the region. As a catalyst for collective action, the
Philadelphia Youth Network makes connections among
individuals, organizations and systems. We increase
capacity and resources in order to provide
high-quality preparation so our City's youth can
thrive in a regional and global economy.
