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.
