Tallahassee Community Carpentry Program

This article will document the process, and progress of the Community Carpentry USA Inc program in the Tallahassee space.

Currently, the program is targeted toward assisting at-risk youth. This program is expressing the bridge of trust between business, and art. We are still growing, continuing to do so with community support, and individual desire to learn valuable skills.

The current project is a 192 Square foot space.

-It can be legally be utilized as a Mother-In-Law suite addition to ones home.

-It can be fashioned into a man/wo-man/child cave, or play house.

-It can be converted into a Tiny House.

-It can be as simple as an outdoor shed.

The uses are many, this is where YOUR imagination is key!

COMMUNITY CARPENTRY USA INC & ARZALAAN-INC are working together in this current project.

Thus far the program has had tremendous support from the community, including material donations. These donations have also come from local volunteers, businesses, including Lowes, and Home Depot.

"CCUSA volunteered to help make Repairs to the Leon County Arms Community Center, off Holton Street. A Christian Church Organization called "CRU" initiated this Repair and Relationship.

We started and completed the work on Wednesday of this Week. The Community Center had been down for months. The young People were not able to use the Community Center or the Computers Lab."
