The Village
Comes Together

Englewood Stomp The Yard is the largest youth event in the Englewood community. Kingdom Avenue Inc. hosts this monumental event to celebrate our youth while connecting youth and families to critical resources in and around Englewood.

Organizations, elementary schools, secondary schools, colleges, clinics, trade schools, entrepreneurs, fraternities, sororities, businesses, and public officials all converge on 63rd and Halsted with the common goal of uplifting, empowering, and inspiring youth with the power of one village.

Free backpacks, groceries, live music, dance competitions, scholarship awards, and pure community joy — this is what it looks like when a village shows up for its young people.
