The city of Fayetteville, in collaboration with Tony Haire Ministries, is excited to announce the opening of Way2Real Community Center with a Key Handoff Ceremony on Friday, June 27, at 2 p.m. The ceremony will take place at the Way2Real Community Center, 2400 Murchison Road.
The newly renovated facility, acquired and rehabilitated through $1 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds, will serve as a center for low-cost mental and behavioral health services, youth and teen enrichment programs, academic tutoring and career and workforce development.
“The opening of the Way2Real Community Center is another meaningful step the city of Fayetteville has taken in the transformation of the Murchison Road corridor,” Mayor Mitch Colvin said in a press release. “This center will serve as a safe space where our youth can learn, grow and be supported.”
The opening of Way2Real Community Center is a component of the Murchison Choice Neighborhood Plan. This plan reflects the collective vision and aspirations of the Murchison Road community and serves as a roadmap for the neighborhood transformation.
For the past two years, Director of the Way2Real Community Center Dr. Tony Haire and his team have worked closely with residents, business owners, educators and youth to shape a center that directly reflects the community’s needs and priorities.
The center will operate Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with special events on Saturdays. Programming will be powered by partnerships with Best Buy, local record labels, Fayetteville State University, NCWorks, local schools, mental health providers, public safety agencies and others.
Community members can learn more about the programs and services provided by the community center by visiting Way2Real.Life or call 472-210-7840.
