All About Kensington
Reach a child. Impact a region.
Each Kensington campus is partnering with one local school - pouring in volunteer labor, resources, and love. Volunteers can help during school, after school, or in the surrounding neighborhoods. Whatever your skill or passion, there are lots of ways to serve students, teachers, and parents. By changing the life of child, you can impact the future of an entire region.

We want to offer classes on Saturday mornings for the students and families of King Academy as many of the enrichments at the schools have been cut, and those through the community are too expensive. We're open to your ideas. If you're interested, please email Alli Mountney at the email address below!
