NEVADA
From 1933 to 1942, the Civilian Conservation Corps worked across Nevada. What they left behind is still here. We are picking the work back up.
THE WORK IS STILL STANDING.
Nevada had a smaller but real CCC presence. Enrollees built infrastructure at Lake Tahoe State Park (Sand Harbor and Spooner Lake area), Cathedral Gorge, and Valley of Fire State Park. CCC crews cut trails on Charleston Peak, dug stock tanks across the Great Basin rangelands, and built fire infrastructure in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. The CCC also did infrastructure work at Lehman Caves, which later became part of Great Basin National Park.
CAPABLE HANDS. HONEST WORK.
Nevada remembers what was built by people willing to do it.
A COLLECTIVE OF BUILDERS.
The CCC Boys corps is based in Colleton County, South Carolina. Justin and Jeremy Shearer and their cousin Joe Nettles, grandsons of Joseph Connelly, are building it from home. We do hurricane prep along the coast, shingle recycling out of the Columbia metro, marine apprenticeships in Walterboro, and a software portfolio with AI as the partner. The corps is worker-owned: members draw a steady wage first, then operating costs, then runway, then surplus to the people who made it happen. Not shareholders.
South Carolina is the first chapter. Other states are next, as builders in those places raise their hands. The playbook, curriculum, kit specs, and operating model are all open source under Creative Commons. Anyone can use them. Federated branches share the central infrastructure (a stablecoin-native neobank, a shared apprentice curriculum, a brand built by everyone) but operate locally. No fees. No buy-in. You are a branch, not a franchise.
A CCC BOYS NEVADA BRANCH?
We're building the framework, the technology, the apprenticeship curriculum, and the playbook out in the open. As Nevada-rooted builders raise their hands, branches form. If this resonates and you'd like to help bring a CCC Boys branch to Nevada, write us.
