市长青年参与办公室正与20多个由青年领导的和为青年服务的组织合作，将PHL青年周带到费城。该系列活动将从8月8日至8月14日进行。每天的活动将围绕费城青年面临的问题举办以社区为中心、由青年主导的活动：教育、公民参与、公共安全/枪支暴力、财务前景/创业、健康和保健。这一举措的总体目标是提升我们城市的这些非常关键的问题，同时庆祝年轻人在当地和全球范围内激发运动的独特能力。
联合国已将8月12日定为国际青年日。这一纪念活动让国际社会关注青年问题，并庆祝青年作为合作伙伴在当今全球社会的潜力。
国际青年日的想法是1991年由聚集在奥地利维也纳参加联合国系统世界青年论坛第一届会议的青年们提出的。该论坛建议宣布一个国际青年日，特别是为了筹款和宣传的目的，以支持联合国青年基金与青年组织合作。
费城试图利用国际青年日作为费城青年周的支柱，使年轻人知道，在他们这一代人所面临的胜利和挑战中，他们并不孤单。有一个全球性的支持社区–但最重要的是，在国内也有一个支持社区。
请加入市政府与合作伙伴举行的活动，这肯定是你一个令人难以置信的一周：
