Our History
In 2007, a group of community leaders, child advocates and educators had a big dream: If they collaborated and innovated, the Pittsburgh region could become the best place on earth to raise a kid.
That vision gave rise to Kidsburgh, where you’ll find expert parenting advice, local resources and tons of fun, enriching things to do.
