Our Mission

At PVP, our mission is to research and publish nonpartisan and easy-to-understand policy content that educates students, informs policy makers, and engages the general public in understanding and intercepting policy issues.

Our Vision

We envision a future where sound policy improves the quality of life in America.

Who We Serve

Students

We provide enriching educational programs for high school, undergraduate and graduate level students. From hands-on internships at over 16 universities to an innovative policy education program, we are a resource hub for students who are eager to learn and engage with policy.

Policymakers

We support the efforts of policymakers and legislative groups as they work to address and solve pertinent policy issues at the federal and state levels. As a nonpartisan organization, we provide legislators with up-to-date and impartial policy data resources that are critical to policymaking.

General Public

We aim to ignite a passion for sound policy by connecting the general public with resources that showcase the impact of policy on our daily lives. By publishing unbiased and easy-to-understand policy resources, we encourage the public to understand, thoughtfully address and intercept policy issues.
