The Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, recruited young men who were having trouble finding employment for six months of work on natural conservation projects. The program, which was one of the most popular New Deal projects, paid workers thirty dollars per month, with twenty-five of those dollars going to the workers' parents.
