During its annual State of Young Philly conference, Young Involved Philadelphia (YIP) put out the call: Give us your best ideas to tackle Philly’s issues and we’ll give you $1,000.
Meet the winners below.
As described by YIP:
- Education Track: It’s My Life (encourages students at area high schools to use live theater to safely practice situations related to sexual health)
- Economy Track: OKWork!Philly (creates a central place for Philadelphians to view and apply to job postings and see who in their social networks has connections to employers.
- Sustainability Track: Bike Generator Demonstrator (powers light bulbs and small electronic appliances using a bicycle with the goal of increasing interest in energy efficiency)
We’ll check back in with the winners in the new year. Read more about them on Newsworks.
