Don't delay, register today for our March 11 membership luncheon. Always a great networking, we look forward to unveiling our new Sponsors' and Prospective Member "Meet & Greet" banners. We have an amazing line up of leaders to address the needs of the City of Wilmington's families - from "cradle to cane" as they say!

Meet our Presentation Participants:

The YMCA of Delaware is expanding access to high-quality, affordable childcare in Wilmington with the opening of the YMCA Early Learning Academy. Launching Spring 2026 at the Community Education Building’s (CEB) new Youth Development Center on Wilmington’s East Side, the Academy will offer high-quality, inclusive early childhood education for children from infancy through pre-K, serving up to 100 children. Located at 12th Street and Clifford Brown Walk, the YMCA Early Learning Academy will be housed within the CEB’s nearly completed 11,000-square-foot Youth Development Center, a vibrant, community-driven space designed to support children and families through education, enrichment, and wraparound services.

REACH Riverside Development Corporation, formed in 2017, serves as the community quarterback for revitalizing Wilmington’s Riverside neighborhood using the Purpose-Built Communities model focused on housing, education, and health. As the managing partner of The WRK Group, alongside Kingswood Community Center and The Warehouse REACH has helped raise $371 million for this 14-year, resident-centered transformation. Central to the effort is Imani Village, a 700-unit mixed-income housing development replacing former public housing, with early phases complete and full buildout planned by 2031. Kingswood Community Center, a neighborhood anchor since 1946, provides cradle-to-cane services including a nationally recognized Early Learning Academy, economic vitality programs, and senior services, with plans underway for a new 81,000-square-foot facility. The Warehouse complements this work by serving over 450 teens annually with paid workforce development training and enrichment programs that prepare young people for long-term success.
