The Relatives Project Kick Off
Harker, alongside WGM Design and Strata Project Management, kicked off The Relatives’ On Ramp Resource Center Expansion. See how the project will support our community:
“We have BIG news to share! Our On Ramp Resource Center is expanding to meet the needs of young adults in our community. On Ramp was created in 2010 to help 16-24 year-olds who lacked support to become independent. What began as a single room in the Children and Family Services Center has grown to a two-story building in Uptown Charlotte serving over 500 young people a year, maxing out the numbers we can serve in our current location. At last count, however, there were 45,000 disconnected young adults in Charlotte-Mecklenburg who aren’t going to school or working. All of those young adults need us! Therefore, we are once again evolving to meet the need. Thanks to incredible community support, we are proud to announce The Relatives is kicking off construction of the future On Ramp Resource Center this fall. Located at 2219 Freedom Dr., our new space will allow us to better serve this vulnerable population.” – The Relatives
