PYN Celebrates 25 Years!

On May 1st, 2025, PYN proudly celebrated its 25th Anniversary with an unforgettable event honoring two and a half decades of youth workforce development, community partnerships, and transformative impact. The celebration brought together alumni, partners, staff, and city leaders to reflect on our shared journey and look ahead to the future.

The event, hosted by iHEART Radio's Loraine Ballard Morrill, featured inspiring speeches, powerful youth stories, and a newly commissioned work from Philadelphia's Youth Poet Laureate Malaya Ulan. Thank you to everyone who joined us to support PYN's work!
