Work On Wilmington is organized each year by the current class of Leadership Wilmington.  Work on Wilmington brings people together to roll up their sleeves and tackle community problems in just four hours. The results are amazing. Projects that would normally take many times longer are completed in just half a day. Volunteers participate in a variety of service projects throughout the community with a common goal: Make Wilmington a better place to live. Work On Wilmington seeks to energize the volunteer spirit in all of us by following the successful model active in more than 50 cities across the United States. Work On Wilmington works in partnership with community organizations and agencies to create meaningful, hands-on service projects that improve the quality of life and achieve tangible results. A Project Leader from the 2026 Class will be on site at each project to assign tasks and get the day started.
