Our Philosophy

PA KidsFest is more than a nonprofit organization.

We are a lifeline for families working to give their children the future they deserve. Through school supplies, tutoring, and early education scholarships, we partner with parents to provide the resources and support every child needs to succeed—inside and outside the classroom.

We don’t just serve kids—we walk beside families on the path to brighter outcomes.

From a fully stocked backpack on the first day of school, to free monthly STEM workshops that ignite curiosity, to tutoring that builds confidence, to Pre-K scholarships that prepare young learners for kindergarten—our services are designed to meet children where they are and help them grow from there.

We are part of a trusted network that empowers families through care, consistency, and connection.

To make this possible, we collaborate with dedicated educators, volunteers, donors, and community partners who believe that no child should fall through the cracks. Every program we offer is rooted in compassion, designed with intention, and delivered with a commitment to equity and excellence.

We can't do it alone—and the good news is, we don’t have to.

Join us as we equip young learners, support working families, and build a future where every child in Pennsylvania has the opportunity to learn, thrive, and shine.

Support the mission. Be part of something bigger. Help us build a stronger tomorrow, starting today.

Our Legacy

From a backpack to a brighter future—for this generation and the next.

PA KidsFest began with a simple mission: to ensure every child starts school with the tools and confidence to succeed. What began as a grassroots effort to fill backpacks has grown into a comprehensive network of support services that include free tutoring, Pre-K scholarships, and monthly STEM workshops.

Driven by compassion and fueled by community, our legacy is one of empowerment, not charity.

Each backpack delivered, each scholarship awarded, and each child inspired reflects our unwavering commitment to educational equity and family support. Today, we continue to grow—expanding our reach, deepening our impact, and opening doors for thousands of young learners across Pennsylvania.
