PYN is an intermediary – this means that we act as a connection between employers, program partners, funders, and young people. We do not typically operate programs directly. Instead, we help make programs possible, and we help young people connect to them and benefit from them. Learn more by visiting Our Approach.

Yes. If an applicant is looking to sign up for a different program, they will have to submit an application and all required documents for that program. Since many programs have different requirements and different program partners, this helps ensure that our application process if fair and equitable.
If you have already started an application for WorkReady or E3 within the recruitment cycle, you do not need to fill out another application. You simply must complete the application using a referral code for a program that is still recruiting applicants.
All young people must go through an application phase to be considered for programming. PYN facilitates the application process and collects vital docs online. Program partners recruit or accept young people into their program based on the number of slots they have available. Young people who do not include a referral code on their application, or who apply to a program that has no more availability, are placed in the general pool. PYN performs QA on all applications to ensure that all documentation is complete and uploaded.
As an intermediary, we connect young people to our partners through programming. If a young person is not enrolled in PYN programming, PYN cannot place that young person into a job. If you would like to become a provider so that we can work with you in the future, visit Become a Provider. If you would like to find opportunities for young people, visit Find an Opportunity.
Philadelphia has many opportunities for young people! Visit Find an Opportunity to see some of the many opportunities and programs offered by PYN and our partners.
