Great Lakes Community Conservation Corps is a civic and social organization based in Franksville, Wisconsin, that connects Great Lakes communities to train and educate disadvantaged populations for credentials aimed at closing the regional skills gap. The organization focuses on improving water quality, building habitat, and supporting conservation work, while seeking to strengthen the region’s competitiveness in the global economy. It operates as part of America’s Service and Conservation Corps and collaborates with The Corps Network, sharing best practices with hundreds of like-minded programs across the United States, particularly those serving the Great Lakes basin and the Midwest. Founded in response to regional social and environmental challenges, GLCCC serves the Greater Milwaukee area, including several surrounding counties.
