2009 Annual Report
Due to the economy, 2009 was a tough year for many non-profit organizations. However, here at West End Neighborhood House, we understood that the community needed our services and assistance more than ever. To meet the needs of our thousands of customers - and the thousands of new Delawareans in need - we bolstered many of our services and created new programs, such as our Employment & Training program.

New grant and program announcement!
West End Neighborhood House, Inc. is proud to announce that funding has been awarded for the newly created P3 Wilmington Coalition, a collaborative partnership among West End, Connections Community Support Programs, Inc. (Connections) and the William “Hicks” Anderson Community Center (Hicks). The Mid-Atlantic Network of Youth and Family Services (MANY) has awarded the P3 Wilmington Coalition a two-year grant of $1,005,076 to improve the long-term labor market prospects of youth, ages 16 to 24, that have a history with the juvenile justice system, and to facilitate local collaboration to find a sustainable and community-rooted solution to reducing crime and enhancing positive opportunities for youth.
It is West End’s honor to lead this coalition in our shared efforts to assist Wilmington’s adjudicated youth and young adults to create positive pathways for successful futures. The Education and Employment department at West End will be leading P3 implementation, under the direction of Kenyetta McCurdy-Byrd. The P3 Wilmington Coalition will begin service implementation in January, 2012, at the West End, Connections, and Hicks sites.
Over the course of twenty-four months, the coalition will work with over 180 unduplicated youth in the areas of education, employment training, restorative justice, mentoring, recreation, and case management.
Please see our Volunteer and Employment Opportunities page (on the left) to see new job opportunities available for P3 implementation.
For more information regarding this new initiative, please contact Kenyetta McCurdy-Byrd or Ann Marie Chieffi at 302.658.4171.
