Logan Herring is the CEO of The WRK Group, including The Warehouse, REACH Riverside, and Kingswood Community Center. 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. Logan started his work in the Riverside neighborhood of Wilmington in 2016 as the Executive Director for Kingswood Community, which quickly led to the realization that more support and resources were needed within the community.

TWH increases engagement and program commitment and helps youth develop the skills, attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors necessary to increase employability skills, gain and retain employment, and obtain secondary/post-secondary educational credentials.
The REACH Riverside Development Corporation was formed in 2017 to remove the barriers to prosperity and well-being facing Wilmington’s Riverside neighborhood. REACH is the community quarterback entity leading the implementation of the Purpose Built Communities revitalization model, a holistic approach focused on housing, education, health, and economic vitality.
Founded in 1946, Kingswood is the central hub of the larger revitalization initiative in the Riverside community of Northeast Wilmington.
