Andrew P. Stewart Center Background
For many children, there are factors beyond school that get in the way of their success, such as lack of early learning opportunities, the absence of support systems outside of traditional schooling hours, and a lack of stable housing.
The Andrew P. Stewart Center works tirelessly to provide children in Atlanta's Pittsburgh neighborhood with the best chance to be successful. It provides after-school and summer academic support and enrichment free of charge to local children and provides affordable housing for their families.
