WYOMING
From 1933 to 1942, the Civilian Conservation Corps worked across Wyoming. What they left behind is still here. We are picking the work back up.
THE WORK IS STILL STANDING.
Wyoming had dozens of CCC camps in some of the most spectacular country in the country. Enrollees built much of the infrastructure at Yellowstone National Park (trails, ranger stations, picnic shelters, fire infrastructure), Grand Teton National Park's early facilities, and the Bighorn National Forest fire roads. CCC crews fought multiple Yellowstone fires through the 1930s, planted trees, and built lookouts. They also did extensive infrastructure work at the early stages of what would become Devils Tower National Monument.
CAPABLE HANDS. HONEST WORK.
Wyoming 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 WYOMING BRANCH?
We're building the framework, the technology, the apprenticeship curriculum, and the playbook out in the open. As Wyoming-rooted builders raise their hands, branches form. If this resonates and you'd like to help bring a CCC Boys branch to Wyoming, write us.
