It is a proud day for us all when the Great Lakes CCC helps a veteran achieve their dream. The Great Lakes CCC Veterans Corps program serves all veterans transitioning into civilian life, without age limits. Our goal is to promote a sense of purpose, provide peer support, develop job skills training, and instill self-confidence among veterans.
Read Rachel Kubik’s moving story about Travis Gardner. As a member of the Veterans Corps of the Great Lakes Community Conservation Corps, Gardner earned project-based credits in our Certification and Emergency Response Training (CERT) School that helped him achieve a life-long dream.
See Rachel Kubik‘s photos of a Great Lakes Community Conservation Corps kayaking event on the Root River in Racine. As part of its Veterans Corps program, Great Lakes CCC engages veterans in outreach programs, such as kayaking for vets, to promote peer support.
Veterans residing at Fairchild Hall on the Veterans Affairs’ grounds in Union Grove often attend outreach events. The Great Lakes CCC encourages all veterans to participate in our Veterans Corps community initiatives.
