What are the provisions of the civilian conservation corps?

Answer 1

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a program established during the Great Depression in the United States. Its provisions included providing employment to young, unemployed men from ages 18 to 25, who worked on conservation projects such as reforestation, erosion control, and park development. The CCC also provided food, shelter, and a small wage to participants, while also prioritizing education and job training.

Answer 2

The Civilian Conservation Corps employed 274,375 young men between the ages of 17 and 25 in 1,300 camps nationwide. By 1935 the number of camps and employed young men increased dramatically. Eventually, almost 3 million people served in the Corps. The men signed on for 6 months and were organized into crews that reforested land, undertook conservation projects in National Parks, and worked on trails and clearing growth in National Forests. They built bridges, repaired dams, built fire lookouts and fences, and did terracing to prevent erosion. They were paid $30 a month, but they had to send $25 to their folks in the cities, so the parents would have money to spend to stimulate the economy. The CCC was one of the most popular and most successful of the New Deal measures.
