🌐 Announcing the Institute for Youth in Policy's 2023-24 Annual Report🌐 As we close another successful chapter at YIP, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and pride for the incredible milestones we've achieved this past year. Our efforts to educate, engage, and empower the next generation of leaders have brought to life our core approaches in more dynamic ways than ever before. As a part of our work, we bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and tangible action in an academic way, and ensure our now well over 700 fellows are not only knowledgeable about policy challenges but also equipped to take decisive actions. Our vision is to establish America's largest network of young innovators who are at the forefront of policy innovation and civic engagement, influencing policy across public, private, and educational sectors. Core Values That Guide Us: 1️⃣ Principled Neutrality – Upholding impartiality and fairness. 2️⃣ Lifelong Learning – Encouraging continuous personal and professional growth. 3️⃣ Collaborative Innovation – Merging teamwork with creativity for breakthroughs. 4️⃣ Efficacy – Striving for effectiveness and high impact. 5️⃣ Integrity & Transparency – Ensuring honesty and openness in actions. Impact by the Numbers: 📘 Over 65 policy briefs created. 🌐 More than 10 million site visits. 👥 6 Fellowship Cohorts & 7 Conferences. 🎓 400+ students engaged through discourse-based workshops. This year also marked the launch of several key initiatives that further solidify our commitment to impactful, real-world applications of our fellows' learnings. The establishment of the Center for Civic Growth focuses on nurturing civic-minded youths and providing them with the necessary tools and resources to drive positive change. Our core approach to impact is driven by our three E's: Educate, Engage, and Empower. We educate through rigorous research opportunities and constructive debates. We engage our students by applying their knowledge in real-world settings. We empower them by preparing them to be leaders who enact change. I am immensely thankful to our amazing exec team: Connor Cowan, Carlos Bindert, Mason Carlisle, Mollie Guba, Eli Solomon, Taekyong (Taek) K., Gwen Singer, Sia Ratwani, as well as all the fellows, alumni, staff, partners, and supporters who keep the Institute running. Everyone's dedication is the heartbeat of our organization, making our work not only possible but deeply impactful.
