The Pennsylvania Youth Congress (PYC) is Pennsylvania's leading statewide LGBTQ youth organization, founded in April 2011 by young leaders. PYC works to empower LGBTQ youth through community engagement and effective advocacy, drawing inspiration from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) of the civil rights movement. As a volunteer-based organization, PYC relies on donations and foundation support to advance their work, and they are committed to inclusive and diverse leadership, addressing systems of power and oppression across social justice movements.
PYC organizes the annual Pennsylvania Youth Action Conference (YAC), the state's largest gathering of LGBTQ youth leaders, and plays a crucial role in providing platforms for the LGBTQ community in the State Capitol. They also host events like the Pennsylvania Comes Out for Freedom Event, celebrating LGBT History Month and National Coming Out Day. PYC is dedicated to supporting LGBTQ youth leadership in Pennsylvania and advancing freedom and justice for LGBTQ Pennsylvanians.
