Who are we? Civilian Conservation Corps Legacy
In
2007, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Legacy was established through a merger between the Camp Roosevelt CCC
Legacy Foundation and the National Association of CCC Alumni (NACCCA). The
purpose of the CCC Legacy is to continue the promotion of the CCC in America and
pass the legacy of the CCC to following generations.
Mission
Statement
The
Civilian Conservation Corps Legacy is a non-profit organization
dedicated to research, preservation, and education to promote a
better understanding of the Civilian Conservation Corps and its continuing contribution to
American
life and culture.
Our main organizational
goals are:
Although
this list looks simple, it encompasses many important elements that will sustain
CCC heritage for many years into the future. For anyone who has delved
into the elements of preserving CCC heritage, they become acutely aware of the
great need for action. As an organization whose mission is to make sure
the CCC is not forgotten, it is demonstrated that there is a great
interest in learning more about conservation heritage and how it affects us
today.
The
alumni of the CCC have made a remarkable contribution. Now, it is time for following generations to step forward to help
secure their hard work.
All
ideas for preserving the heritage of the CCC are welcome. Please
become a member and support the work of our nation's
alumni.
