Young Involved Philadelphia Gets Mention in Business Insider’s List of “Hottest Cities of the Future”

Philly keeps joining the competitive ranks as an influential city, receiving nods for our bike-friendliness, civic social media, renewable resources, and burgeoning tech scene.

Yesterday, Business Insider presented the “15 Hottest American Cities of the Future,” breaking things down by job and population growth, demographics, affordability, livability, innovation, and the overall health and well being of residents, and Philadelphia made the list.

BI notes that transplants to Philadelphia are ”getting involved in the city through organizations like Young Involved Philadelphia,” and “bringing a new sense of dynamism to the city.”

The significance of these listicles can be debated, however it’s commendable of Business Insider to pick up on Young Involved Philadelphia — the no-staff, board-run nonprofit organization connecting young professionals to civic engagement.

YIP recently completed their second Board Prep Program and are planning for their third annual State of Young Philly, a series of events that helps identify key ideas from young people on how to move Philadelphia forward. State of Young Philly 2012 will be held in October.
