Chelsea Clinton’s Coming to Philly Next Week


Former (and future?) First Daughter Chelsea Clinton will visit the Palestra at UPenn next week as part of the Food Trust‘s youth leadership summit for middle-schoolers, HYPE (Healthy You. Positive Energy.)

According to a release from the Food Trust, Clinton is stopping by on a tour to promote her new book It’s Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going. The book offers an easy-to-swallow look at some of the planet’s biggest challenges and offers inspirational stories of young people who are working to make the world a better place to live.

During her visit, which begins at around 11:30 on October 20th, Clinton will watch a performance by rap troupe Special EFX, listen as students present their own healthy action plans and then give brief remarks and answer questions from the audience of young people.

The event is not open to the public, but the Food Trust and Clinton may be sharing updates via Twitter @thefoodtrust and @ChelseaClinton, respectively, and the hashtag #ItsYourWorld.

If you do want to meet her in person, later in the day she’ll host a signing at Children’s Book World in Haverford. That starts at 6 pm on October 20th.
