RESOURCES FOR PITTSBURGH RESIDENTS
The Stewart Center is committed to helping the Pittsburgh neighborhood thrive as a place of hope and opportunity. For any community to reach its full potential, its children must have the opportunities and resources needed to flourish. The Center provides educational enrichment for children and youth throughout the year.
The Center’s after school program and summer camp serve students at Kindezi-Gideons Elementary School. Middle and high school students can be a part of our youth group that meets throughout the year and focuses on developing young leaders.
In response to the pandemic, the Center is providing Learning Labs for students in grades K-8th. Learning Labs meet weekdays during school hours.
The Center’s wellness initiative aims to support healthy people, healthy families, and a healthy community. The initiative consists of a wellness cooperative, weekly neighborhood food distributions, and resident enrichment resources.
The Wellness Co-op provides members with supplemental food, family support, and mental/emotional health resources.
The Center also provides financial resources to residents of the Pittsburgh community. Financial literacy classes and home maintenance sessions are available for residents along with rent and utility assistance for those that qualify.
