"Welcome to the combined website of Camp Roosevelt Legacy Foundation and NACCCA"

The Civilian Conservation Corps Legacy represents the alumni of America and strives to bring awareness to the heritage of the CCC, CCC alumni, their programs and accomplishments.  For many years, alumni across America have elevated their heritage though consistently reminding citizens, historians, and natural resource agencies of its great impact on the American culture.   Please join the effort to continue the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps and the men who served.  

Civilian Conservation Corps

Preserving America's Natural

 Resources:  1933-1942

America was in the grip of the Great Depression when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was inaugurated in March of 1933.  More than twenty-five percent of the population was unemployed, hungry, and without hope.  The New Deal programs instituted bold changes in the federal government that energized the economy and created an equilibrium that helped to bolster the needs of citizens.  

Out of this economic chaos emerged the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).  Its purpose was two-fold -- conservation of our natural resources and the salvage of our young men.  The CCC is recognized as the single greatest conservation program in America and it served as a catalyst to develop the very tenets of modern conservation.  The work of America's young men dramatically changed the future and today we still enjoy a legacy of natural resource treasures that dot the American landscape.   

  Mission Statement 

The Civilian Conservation Corps Legacy is a non-profit organization dedicated to research, preservation, and the education to promote a better understanding of the Civilian Conservation Corps and its continuing contribution to the American life and culture.
