Hi, I’m Aiden Wilkins, the founder of Fresh Start to Success. I started this nonprofit because I wanted to make a meaningful difference in the lives of other children—especially those in foster care who deserve to feel valued, prepared, and supported.

Even though I’m only eight years old, I’m currently in 9th grade and planning to attend Ursinus College in fall 2025 through a dual enrollment program. I’m excited to take Fundamentals of Neuroscience as my first class. I’ve always loved learning, especially about science, and my dream is to become a pediatric neurosurgeon so I can help kids live better lives.

Outside of school, I’m a social butterfly who loves basketball, soccer, swimming, running, and spending time with my friends. I recently competed in the state Shakespeare competition at DeSales University and performed the role of Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I’ve also enjoyed debate and public speaking camps. My goal is to keep growing, learning, and making an impact through my nonprofit—while having fun and being a positive light for others.
