Overview:
Funded by Pew Charitable Trust, Youth VIP will engage young people in public policy research in Chicago and Philadelphia. In turn these efforts will be connected to larger national policy issues.
Outcome:
A model of youth engagement was developed that aimed to increase the effectiveness of young adults' participation in community programs solving and integrate these local efforts in a national policy discussion.
