Protect The Hersheys’ Children, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the well-being of Milton Hershey School (MHS) students, i.e., the children and sole lawful heirs of Milton & Catherine Hershey.

Our goals include ending childcare incompetence at the MHS Board/Administrative levels, assuring use of all MHS land and Trust funds strictly for MHS children, and removing MHS Board conflicts of interest. In short, we seek the MHS childcare reforms that the Pennsylvania Attorney General promised, before caving to powerful interests, rescinding reforms, and stacking the Hershey Trust board with political associates.

Our primary mode of action is to speak out unflinchingly about ongoing conduct detrimental to the Hersheys’ children. This includes congregating MHS children, hiring unqualified administrators, politicization of the MHS Board, cronyism, abuse of frontline staff, and continued resource waste.

Our ranks include MHS alumni, childcare professionals, and others who share our desire to protect the Hersheys’ children. We are particularly proud to receive support from like-minded members of the Hershey community who also seek the child-friendly and family-friendly environment that the Hersheys cherished.

As a not-for-profit entity, we can and will accept donations. We will use these resources to continue generating accurate information, to monitor MHS Board decisions, and to convince local authorities to act for the Hersheys’ children rather than for political or corporate goals.
