I found a Web Site that tells all about the CCC
(Civilian Conservation Corps).
I can't connect it to this page because it is full of
advertising.
If you want to learn more you can Google
CCC.
Here is just a little info on the CCC.
The creation of the CCC 1933-1941
In 1932, when the American public voted President Herbert
Hoover out of office, they were searching for an end to the
economic chaos and unemployment that had gripped the nation for two
years. They turned to a man promising a better life than the one
they had known since the beginning of the Great Depression —
Franklin D. Roosevelt. When FDR took office, he immediately
commenced a massive revitalization of the nation's economy. In
response to the depression that hung over the nation in the early
1930s, President Roosevelt created many programs designed to put
Americans back to work. Roosevelt was not interested in the dole.
He was was determined, rather, to preserve the pride of American
workers in their own ability to earn a living, so he concentrated
on creating jobs. In his first 100 days in office, President
Roosevelt approved several measures as part of his "New Deal,"
including the Emergency Conservation Work Act (ECW), better known
as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). With that action, he
brought together the nation's young men and the land in an effort
to save them both. Roosevelt proposed to recruit thousands of
unemployed young men, enlist them in a peacetime army, and send
them to battle the erosion and destruction of the nation's natural
resources. More than any other New Deal agency, the CCC is
considered to be an extension of Roosevelt's personal philosophy.
The speed with which the plan moved through proposal,
authorization, implementation, and operation was certainly a
miracle of cooperation among all the agencies and branches of the
federal government.
From FDR's inauguration on March 4, 1933,
to the induction of the first CCC enrollee, only 37 days had
elapsed.
