Community Training Works, Inc. (CTW) also known as Florida Conservation Corps (FLCC), Arkansas Conservation Corps (ARCC) and Young American Conservation Corps (YACC),

was established in 2006 as a 501 (c) 3 and governed by a nine-member board of directors. Originally based in Florida, CTW also has an office in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

CTW was founded in 2006 by a few community members who were concerned about and sought a solution to solve the problems facing the community such as affordable housing, high unemployment among young adults and veterans, lack of training opportunities and a disconnect from education.

Community Training Works was formed as part of the solution.

These issues the communities faced such as high unemployment among youth and veterans coupled with extreme backlog maintenance issues on our public lands encouraged them to secure partnerships with cities, counties, state and federal agencies to implement the workforce development training initiative.

Routed in the tradition of the CCC - Civilian Conservation Corps legacy from the Roosevelt days, CTW transitioned itself from a Community Land Trust to a 21st Century Conservation Service Corps (21CSC) and accredited by The Corps Networks Excellence In Operations as a 21CSC.

The founding Board Members were elders of the Jacksonville, Florida community namely Mr. Robert Flowers and Mr. Edward Exson along with advisory board members Norma Jean Sawyer and Bedilia Campbell. Ms. Denise Boehm and Dr.

Rodney Stiefbold brought their years of business consulting and expertise as founding members of board and have helped to sustain CTW ever since with their involvement as volunteers.

CTW accomplishes its mission through providing opportunities for young adults and veterans to improve their communities while improving their lives.

Through CTW's partnerships with state and federal agencies, it's been able to offer opportunities to hundreds of young adults and have significantly impacted the lands, roads and waterways.

CTW's programs across the southeast regions of the US include Florida, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.

CTW's programs include but are not limited to:
YWEP - Youth Work Experience Program: a collaboration with DOT to improve roadways, retention ponds, outfalls.
YACC - Young American Conservation Corps Program: where corpsmembers improve public lands on trails, brush removal, invasives. fuels reduction
CEP - Coastal &

Ecological Program:
members serve along waterways improving habitat for wildlife.

ALA - Ancestral Land Program (ALA - Aider of the Lost Arch program): provides opportunities for corpsmembers work on ancestral lands by hand clearing sensitive and sometimes prehistoric archaeological sites.

Community Training Works, Inc.
