Sunnyvale Youth Public Policy Institute

Based in the Bay Area, the Youth Public Policy Institute aims
to give students the resources and initiative to make change

Our History

Founded in 2018 by students in Sunnyvale, YPPI took off under the sponsorship of former Sunnyvale Vice-Mayor Nancy Smith. YPPI was integral in many projects, most notably the instating of the HAERT Program, a preventative mental wellness curriculum, within Lynbrook High School.

With each new cohort, YPPI re-evaluates policy priorities to continue to speak up for issues relevant to youth.
