Penn Life 2026: Powering Youth Voices at the 130th Penn Relays

Giving Youth A Global Voice

“Penn Life 2026: KiDz HuB Lifestyle Coverage at the 130th Running of the Penn Relays”

Join us in empowering the next generation of media leaders through our Penn Life fundraising campaign.

In partnership with KiDz HuB Media Network, this initiative provides young aspiring broadcasters with the opportunity to engage the world from a powerful and authentic platform. KiDz HuB, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is committed to training and mentoring youth as Junior Broadcasters—equipping them with the skills, confidence, and exposure to thrive in today’s communication-driven world.

Through hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world experience, our Junior Broadcasters learn to think critically, communicate effectively, and become creators of meaningful content rather than passive consumers. They develop as storytellers, journalists, and leaders with a global perspective.

Our mission is to build a connected network of empowered youth—broadcasters, editors, writers, bloggers, and content creators—who collaborate across borders to inform, inspire, and elevate their communities.

This fundraiser directly supports KiDz HuB’s 2026 Penn Relays Coverage, where our Junior Broadcasters will deliver live, on-the-ground storytelling from one of the most prestigious track and field events in the world. Coverage will take place from the historic Team Jamaica Bickle Village in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, providing a vibrant hub for interviews, cultural storytelling, and international engagement.

This marks another milestone year in our journey, as our Junior Broadcasters travel from Jamaica and across our global network to the United States for an immersive, hands-on media experience. For many, this is a life-changing opportunity to step onto an international stage and develop skills that will shape their future.

Your support will help cover essential program expenses, including:

  • Flights, tours and ground transportation

  • Hotel accommodations

  • Meals for Junior Broadcasters and production team

  • Technical production and equipment costs

By contributing to this campaign, you are not simply funding a trip—you are investing in confidence, leadership, education, and opportunity.

We invite you to stand with us as we continue to give youth a global voice.

Your support makes this work possible.
