ABOUT US:

The Policy Consulting Group at Penn (PPC) is a nonpartisan, pre-professional student organization presenting student-led research and policy solutions on pressing issues at all levels of government. 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 executive agencies. 

PPC envisions a world where students and youth are recognized as stakeholders in key policy decisions. Every semester, we partner with high-level clients in local, state, federal, and international government to conduct policy research and present solutions directly to decision-makers at Philadelphia City Hall, Capitol Hill, the United Nations, and beyond.
