The WRK Group is a collective of three nonprofits WRKing together to revitalize the Riverside and Northeast Wilmington neighb ... orhoods by creating pathways out of poverty for the lowest-income residents. Our collective mission is to empower the community to reach its full potential by eliminating the barriers of structural racism and revolutionizing teen engagement. About the WRK Group: REACH RIVERSIDE: As a member of the Purpose Built Communities Network, a nationally renowned organization dedicated to holistic community redevelopment, REACH Riverside focuses on the three pillars of revitalization shown to have the greatest impact on long-term community health and well-being - Redevelopment, Education And Community Health. KINGSWOOD COMMUNITY CENTER (KCC): KCC currently offers cradle-to-cane programming for the youngest to the oldest residents of the Riverside community. Programming includes: Kingswood Early Learning Academy (ELA) for ages 1 to 5, before and after school programming for school aged children 5 to 12 years old, and The Jimmy Jenkins Senior Center which offers social, physical, and mental health activities for older adults. The future newly constructed KCC will provide a community specific mix of facilities, programs, and services that honor local history, reflect the priorities of residents, promote healthy lifestyles, create jobs, and reduce crime. THE WAREHOUSE: The Warehouse, working in close collaboration with REACH, is an innovative partnership with more than 130+ teen-serving organizations that provides school-day and summer- and after-school programming where teens can explore, collaborate, discover their passions, and develop skills needed or employment in today's economy.
