Penn’s Youth Initiative (PYI) is an educational non-profit that provides secondary school-age youth with programs to build vital relationship and risk-avoidance skills, enabling them to realize their greatest interpersonal potential now and in the future.
Through partnerships with schools and youth organizations, our trained program facilitators foster a climate of respect by taking a trauma-informed and culturally appropriate approach that recognizes the experiences of diverse people and communities. Each meets professional development requirements by completing mandatory reporter training, annual best practices review and holds current Childline clearances and background checks.
