As a teenager, Carlton traveled across the United States as a Christian Education Department ambassador and later made sure other youths were able to have the same experience. Carlton also reached out to the youth in the community, helping them to understand and experience the importance of a solid education. During his time at SCSU, he became employed by the Food Service Department. If an incoming student did not have the means to purchase a meal, Carlton would make sure they were able to eat until their financial situation was rectified. Carlton later became employed by several restaurant corporations such as Denny's, Longhorn, and Roadhouse as a Training Manager for new stores across the country. Realizing the importance of being stationary with his family, Carlton became employed by Dorchester District 2 School System.

After many years of employment, Carlton's health began to decline, despite his failing health, he continued to communicate with community youths helping them to move forward in life. As an active member of Baum Temple AME Zion Church, he was involved in the youth program and later served on the Trustee Board as the Head of Security. Carlton was instrumental in organizing the SCSU tailgaters and catering for the Savannah State University tailgaters group.
