PHILADELPHIA, PA \u2013 February 17, 2025<\/strong> \u2013 National History Day<\/a>\u00ae (NHD) and Carpenters\u2019 Hall<\/a> are proud to announce the second-ever <\/strong>Young People’s Continental Congress (YPCC), which will again be held in Philadelphia this upcoming July. Carpenters\u2019 Hall, the home of the nation\u2019s First Continental Congress in 1774, has engaged National History Day as its lead educational partner to produce a one-of-a-kind program for students and teachers from across the United States and its territories. <\/p>\n\n

In 2024, NHD and Carpenters\u2019 Hall piloted YPCC with 14 student-teacher teams from the original 13 colonies, plus one team from Philadelphia. The program was well-received by students, teachers, cultural institutions in Philadelphia, and the city\u2019s tourism and hospitality community. In response to the pilot program, Philadelphia City Council \u2013 through the Philadelphia Cultural Fund \u2013 along with the Philadelphia Funder Collaborative for the Semiquincentennial and many other donors have come together to fund a 2025 iteration of the program with 27 teams. Each team includes one high school student and one teacher, for a total of 54 delegates.<\/p>\n\n

This year\u2019s YPCC delegates represent both rural and urban areas across the United States and Guam. In addition to completing online learning modules throughout spring 2025 about subjects such as the Continental Congress, the Boston Massacre, and economic liberty in Colonial America, the student-teacher teams will convene in Philadelphia from July 14-18 for a week of special programming and field learning opportunities at sites such as Carpenters\u2019 Hall, Independence National Historical Park, the National Constitution Center, the Museum of the American Revolution, and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Delegates will also co-create and sign a joint declaration of their aspirations for American democracy, just as their historical counterparts issued the Declaration of Colonial Rights and the Declaration of Independence. YPCC is a National Partner Program of America250.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to expand the Young People\u2019s Continental Congress for a second year and represent the United States\u2019 full geographic diversity,\u201d said Carpenters\u2019 Hall Executive Director Michael Norris. \u201cOur delegates will engage with leading historians and gain special access to Philadelphia\u2019s unparalleled museums, historic sites and archives. The 2025 program promises to be truly inspiring and life-changing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

\u201cNational History Day is thrilled to once again help lead YPCC,\u201d said NHD Executive Director Dr. Cathy Gorn. \u201cYPCC is a unique opportunity for students and teachers to collaborate as they study our country\u2019s founding era, examine primary documents and locations in the city where history was made and meet people from across the country and world. As we prepare to celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday in 2026, YPCC is the perfect program to engage students and teachers in examining the past while looking toward the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

“On behalf of the Philadelphia City Council, I want to congratulate the 54 delegates of the 2025 Young People\u2019s Continental Congress,\u201d said City Councilmember Mark Squilla, whose district includes Carpenters\u2019 Hall. \u201cWe are excited to welcome these bright students and teachers to the birthplace of our nation\u2019s democracy this summer. The delegation is set for a unique week of immersive experiential learning in the city where the Continental Congress met starting in 1774. We look forward to showing them the many gems that make the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection a world-class destination, from historical and cultural sites to the famous foods like cheesesteaks and soft pretzels that shape Philadelphia\u2019s identity. City Council’s philanthropic support of YPCC is another investment in safeguarding our democracy, as these caring and dedicated high school students are our future leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
