Each fall, Young Involved Philadelphia (YIP) hosts State of Young Philly (SOYP), a dynamic 10-day event series filled with programming designed to connect young Philadelphians of every background, showcase their positive impact, and amplify their voices. SOYP 2018 brings together nonprofits, government entities, civic leaders, and local businesses to help young Philadelphians identify what civic engagement means to them and the role each individual can play in driving change in their communities.

Thsi event will be a panel discussion of the potential causes of low voter turnout and voter disengagement and lack of participation amongst certain populations of voters. We will also discuss how we can engage these populations and improve voter participation for the November 6, 2018 Midterm election.
