CCC

Established between 1933 and 1942 during Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a fundamental work relief program of the New Deal. Targeting unemployed young men aged 18 to 26, the CCC aimed to alleviate unemployment through environmental conservation, reducing soil erosion, and enhancing flood control. Enlistment was open to U.S. citizens in good health, with a six-month term at military-style camps. The CCC notably contributed to reforestation, created state parks, and significantly lowered crime rates.
