Last week, we gathered at the 2300 Arena for Powering Pathways - PYN’s 2nd Annual Summer Jobs Celebration, honoring the more than 300 young people who completed paid summer work experiences with PYN this year.

The action packed event was filled with inspiring remarks, youth awards, and powerful displays showcasing the skills, growth, and accomplishments of our participants.

Special thanks to our guest MC State Rep. Amen Brown, and to Council Members Kendra Brooks, Nick O’Rourke, Isaiah Thomas, and Anthony Phillips for joining us and speaking on the life-changing impact of summer jobs. And a big thank you to our event sponsors - Penn Medicine.

Programs like ours are more than jobs — they are pathways to opportunity, safety, and a brighter future for Philadelphia’s young people. Thank you to everyone who came out to support!! 💼💼
