Vision: The Stewart Center exists to see our neighbors living purposeful lives in pursuit of their full potential.
Mission: The Stewart Center promotes strong communities through educational initiatives, wellness resources, and housing solutions.
We are committed to the racial, social, and economic justice deserved by our neighbors and by all people.
We are committed to the long-term viability of our community and its residents.
We seek to identify and engage resources within our community to address present challenges.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned a global “Beloved Community” characterized by nonviolence, reconciliation, and justice for all people – a place where love and truth triumph over fear and hatred. Dr. King believed that the highest form of love, agape, seeks “to preserve and create community.” The Stewart Center is a community development organization, working with our neighbors to create the “Beloved Community” in our neighborhood.

We launched a pilot one on one tutoring program back in January. This was about more than academics. It was also about building confidence💫 We are proud to report that 89% of our students showed growth in reading! To celebrate all of their hard work from January through April, we spent time together at Main Event and closed out the semester with lots of laughs and fun. We’re incredibly proud of our students and grateful to everyone who helped make this program possible. 📚 Help us keep the momentum going by supporting summer camp at link in bio. ♠️♥️♣️♦️

On June 3, the Stewart Center will welcome 70 neighborhood children for six weeks of discovery and growth. After a long semester of testing and hard work, we want to make sure this summer is full of joy and lasting memories while keeping campers’ minds stimulated and ready for the start of school. That’s why we’ve developed the ACE Curriculum: ♦️ Academic Readiness: Learning that builds confidence and prepares campers for success in school. ♣️Character Development: Building the social and emotional tools campers need to lead. ❤️Educational Discovery: Hands-on STEM and engineering projects that spark curiosity. As you can see in the graphic above, it doesn’t take a lot to make a huge difference. Whether you choose to fund a summer’s worth of STEM supplies for $35 or a full week’s scholarship for $215, you are ensuring a child in our community has a safe, high-growth place to be. Thank you for being part of the ‘Full Deck’ that makes the Stewart Center possible! Link in bio.

Our youth were busy this month 💛 Creating space for connection and bonding while preparing for what’s ahead. Here’s just a glimpse ✨

Over the past four weeks, we created space for movement, reflection, and connection right here in the Pittsburgh neighborhood. Participants of the Pittsburgh Mindfulness Series reported that they left the series feeling more connected to their neighbors, experienced more positive moods, and feeling more emotionally balanced. We ended our final night with grateful tears, meaningful reflections, and group hugs, a true reflection of the community that was built. Huge thank you to our incredible facilitators for holding such intentional, supportive spaces, and to Fitsquad and Pittsburgh Yards for hosting us. This is what community wellness looks like. 🩵

For Raniya, the Stewart Center was a stabilizing presence during what was at times a turbulent season of life. Raniya moved frequently and attended no fewer than seven schools on her journey from kindergarten through high school graduation. By attending the Center’s youth group and working as a summer camp counselor, Raniya experienced the structure and consistency she craved. Reflecting on those years, she acknowledged, “As counselors, we were growing with the kids…our shared backgrounds helped the kids know we cared about them.” Today, Raniya is a college graduate, a mom, and a teacher at a local elementary school. She lives in a Stewart Center home and remains engaged with the Center’s youth group. Raniya’s story is still unfolding. Like all of us involved with the Stewart Center, she continues to grow into her full potential. Your year end gift ensures that the next generation of students can follow in Raniya’s footsteps as they become the leaders, caregivers, and changemakers of our community. #CultivatingCapacityUnlockingPotential
