Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)

The Civilian Conservation Corps organization slowly became FDR's favorite program. It was founded in March 1933. The group put more than 2.5 million men, who were young and unmarried, to work. The workers of the CCC may have only recieved $30.00 a month, but they lived in camps for free and earned food, medical care, and job training.
