About
The Kensington Stewards

 

Mission

The mission of The Kensington Stewards (TKS) is to foster and support mutual appreciation and understanding, strengthening the connections among the residents of Kensington, Brooklyn, through the arts, cultural events, community gatherings and conversation.

 

How do we follow our Mission?

The Kensington Stewards is an all-volunteer group of residents of the Kensington, Brooklyn, neighborhood. We focus our energy and creative ideas on introducing Kensington's diverse demographic groups to one another so that we can learn about each other's traditions and cultures, gain an appreciation and understanding of one another, and grow together.

Our programs showcase the arts—painting, music, dance, drama—and culture for children and adults and provide space for rallies and other supportive, community-oriented events.

 

As a not-for-profit charitable organization, some of our events are made possible through grants from supporting organizations. Other events are funded by our treasury, requiring continual donations to ensure that we can present programming that appeals to our neighbors and fulfills our mission.

 

Working with government agencies and other community groups, we also assist in maintaining one public open space: The Kensington Plaza, where we offer programming. Kensington Plaza is located in front of Walgreens at 114 Beverley Road, near Church Avenue.
