Philadelphia Youth Network (PYN)

The Philadelphia Youth Network (PYN) works with strategic partners to create education and employment opportunities for youth and young adults.

We believe every young person deserves the chance to achieve their dreams. PYN works with partners to prepare young people for the career of their choice. Our programs create opportunities for young people throughout Philadelphia.


PYN collects data from over 125 youth-serving programs, conducts surveys with youth-serving organizations and young people, analyzes trends for investment and capacity decisions, and shares this data annually with the public.

PYN creates service networks to prepare teens and young adults for successful futures. PYN recruits youth-serving organizations, allocates maximum spots for young people based on need and provider performance, and guides program plans to ensure a quality experience for each young person — regardless of their provider.
