TCW was founded in 2016 by Bob and Marcia Brinley, a couple ready to make an impact on communities. As the best programs focus on employment, retention, and advancement to rid poverty, they worked with the successful Cincinnati Works program (replicated in 23 US cities) to bring it to Lake County, IL.
The Brinleys joined forces with Ronnel and Yvette Ewing of the Fuller Center, which was a God-ordained partnership! Yvette Ewing is now the TCW Executive Director and Ronnel Ewing is on the Board of Directors. TCW stands apart from other programs in addressing the challenges of poverty and labor shortages.
