June 22nd – REASON #2 to Support the 21CSC: Corps leverage the experience of our veterans and help them transition back into civilian life through continued service.

Some 21CSC programs operate crews specifically for recent veterans. By joining a Corps, veterans can train for a new career and transition back into civilian life while continuing to serve alongside men and women who share their experiences and values. Corps help our veterans translate their technical skills and passion for service into careers in public lands management.

Watch this video to see a 21CSC Veterans Fire Corps crew in action. Hear from recent veterans why their Corps experience is important to them.

June 15th – REASON #1 to Support the 21CSC: there’s a lot of work to do on our public lands

America’s land and water management agencies – like the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service – have billions of dollars in unmet maintenance needs and not enough resources to keep up. To help ensure that our parks can stay open, these agencies partner with 21CSC programs to put trained young people to work on important projects on our public lands.
