Making access to PYN programs a digital process has allowed us to reach more youth in Philadelphia than ever before. However, this innovation comes with the added responsibility to acknowledge that access to technologies and resources are often unequal.

June-August 2022
To support both youth and providers connected to the PYN system, we are always working to streamline our application processes and offer additional resources to provide ease of access and break down barriers to education and employment pathways.
In 2021, PYN launched the WorkReady Hotline to assist young people and families with the digital application process. This year, the WorkReady Hotline assisted over 7,100 callers in June through August alone, with even further assistance provided through email.
