Kingswood Community Center, Inc. - Community and Family Services

Kingswood Community Center's mission is to enable people in Northeast Wilmington and surrounding communities to achieve their potential economic, social and personal well-being. Our long term plan is to critically examine present programs and assess future needs of these programs and the center at large. Our plan will then serve as a driving force behind Kingswood's vision for future growth and development. The vision for the Community and Family Services department is to enhance the capacity and functions of the GED and Job Readiness components. The vision requires that the GED program be able to adjust to a changing target population, from one that served typical older returning students to an untraditional model that actively recruits and engages younger participants; due to the community's increasing dropout rates. The job readiness program must establish and strengthen relationships with training institutions, local and regional businesses in order to provide employment opportunities for our clients.
