Logan S. Herring Sr., CEO of The WRK Group, was born and raised in Wilmington's West Center City neighborhood. Logan knows that other people helped guide him to success, and his goal is to now, pay it forward.
WHERE IT BEGAN
Logan started his work in the Riverside neighborhood of Wilmington in 2016 as the Executive Director for Kingswood Community Center (KCC), which serves the young and old alike, including an early learning center, before and after care, and senior center. REACH Riverside (Redevelopment Education and Community Health) is a non-profit community development corporation created to lead the $250 million revitalization of the Riverside neighborhood under the nationally acclaimed, and Warren Buffett funded, Purpose Built Communities model, to include 600 units of mixed-income housing and a new state of the art KCC; REACH has been officially named as the nineteenth of twenty-eight network affiliates of Purpose Built Communities.
REACH and KCC work in partnership with The Warehouse, a co-working facility and network for teen-serving organizations designed to address violence, academic performance, and workforce readiness amongst Wilmington’s youth by providing them with access to more than 140 teen-focused program and service providers. Capital One donated the former 43,000 square foot Prestige Academy building, and The Warehouse invested $3M of renovations into the facility, transforming it to a modern, open-floor concept designed “for teens, by teens”. In its first year of opening, nearly four-hundred teens have become members, and 125 will be employed by the end of 2021.
Logan holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management from Goucher College and a certificate in Non-Profit Leadership from Boston College.
