ABOUT US:

Penn Policy Consulting Group (PPC) is a nonpartisan, pre-professional student organization presenting student-led research on and policy solutions for pressing issues in local, federal, and international government systems at the University of Pennsylvania. In recent years, we’ve partnered with leading organizations – such as Freedom House, UNFPA, UNICEF and Hyundai America – on policy projects, white papers, and youth engagement strategies, sat down with UN Ambassadors and diplomats, and conducted hundreds of successful policy meetings with Senators, Congressional Representatives, and Congressional staffers.

PPC envisions a world where students and youth are recognized as stakeholders in key policy decisions. The group partners with other student organizations, professors, and stakeholder NGOs and CSOs every semester to conduct professional-level policy research and present this research in policy meetings with government officials in Philadelphia, Capitol Hill, and the United Nations.
