YIP in the News: The Creative Class in Philadelphia

Last month, the group, Young Involved Philadelphia or YIP, board members' Claire Robertson-Kraft, Matt Goldfine, and Ned Rauch-Mannino were on WHYY's Radio Times to talk about how Philadelphia compares to other cities and what can be done to attract more young people to the area. If you missed it, you can catch the broadcast HERE.

A few weeks later, YIP's vice chair, Matt Goldfine urged the young demographic to take hold of the future of Philadelphia and become more engaged in grassroots politics in his Inquirer editorial. Read it HERE.

 

About: Young Involved Philadelphia (YIP) is a non-profit organization that aims to increase civic engagement among young Philadelphians and to facilitate reforms that help create a better Philadelphia. We aim to create an environment where we can become fully integrated citizens who are aware of the social, political, and cultural climate around us. We also strive to engineer reforms that improve this city and make it a better place to live, work, and play. YIP achieves these goals via education about civic affairs, advocacy around key issues facing the city, and social events and outings. While YIP's primary mission is to engage young adults, it brings together the young and young-at-heart to work for a brighter future for Philadelphia.
