http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34847498

Training Department records (about 18,000 items) include plans, reports, trainee files, and other material. The Community Service Consultants program is the earliest program documented. Other programs include a community development worker training center at UNC; a training program for Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA); the Community Action Technician (CAT) training program, which trained neighborhood workers, Headstart and Neighborhood Youth Corps supervisors, and other community action and anti-poverty workers; and summer internship and curriculum development programs. The internship program for 1967 was established and operated by the Fund's Department of Community Organization under Howard Fuller to train college students at Catawba College, Livingstone College, and Shaw University for community work. Shaw University, North Carolina College, St. Augustine's, Livingstone College, and Catawba College operated a joint internship program in 1968. CAT files also include information about selective service policies and draft deferments for trainees.
