About us
The WRK Group is a collective of three nonprofits WRKing together to revitalize the Riverside and Northeast Wilmington neighborhoods 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. Designed for teens, by teens, The Warehouse provides our city’s youth with the tools and opportunities they need to become confident, courageous, and contributing young adults who will make a positive difference in our world.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Volunteers are needed to help with our drive thru food distribution! Monthly, we work with the Food Bank of Delaware and they bring food for us to help support the Riverside community. Some families are facing food insecurity and we want to be able to provide that resource. Volunteers will be outside our Kingswood Community Center helping direct traffic, making sure Food Bank forms are filled out, handing out food to each family, and making sure food is packaged for homebound seniors who cannot make it to the drive thru. We need a lot of volunteers to make this happen so that we can help as many families as possible (on average about 100 families!). Anyone can sign up to help with this volunteer opportunity, no training required! Sign up here: https://ow.ly/6qKL50Ttx1O
