Meredith Manning

Her interests lie at the intersection of economics and policy, especially as it relates to business. Through her work as the co-founder of Craft It Forward LLC, she has gained exposure to the role social enterprises play in the economy–a topic she further explored in her capstone project as a YIP Public Policy Fellow. Moreover, she is a committed advocate for youth civic engagement, as evidenced by her active involvement in the Vote 16 Pennsylvania organization, where she pushes for the passage of a Pennsylvania law lowering the voting age for school board elections to 16.
