The Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC) is proud to celebrate the launch of the Los Angeles County Training Center’s (LACTC) first all-female firefighter training cohort!

LACTC is a partnership between ARC, Justice, Care, and Opportunities Department (JCOD), Amity Foundation, Los Angeles County Fire Department, and Supervisor Lindsey Horvath. Seventeen women are participating in the job training program, which will certify them to work in fire service jobs while providing on-site room and board and support services.
