State of Young Philly is back, and with it comes 10 days of civic-focused events meant to encourage young Philadelphians to take hold of their collective future.

Organizer Young Involved Philadelphia is offering 24 events from Thursday, Oct. 11, through Saturday, Oct. 20, and if you’re generally “young” and care about getting “involved,” there are a few you’ll want to check out.

We recommend looking at all your options, but if you’re feeling overwhelmed, here are our picks for every day of the week as a start:
