Answer: The New deal projects were programs by the Roosevelt administration designed to alleviate the problems of the Great Depression and they focused on 3 main goals which were; relief for the needy, economic recovery and

financial reforms

Explanation: The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) is one of the programs under the New deal project. The CCC employed almost 3million men aged 18-25 between 1933 and 1942. These men planted ober 3billion trees and developed over 800 state parks. In addition they built more than 46000 bridges.

Another program under this project was the Works Progress Administration (WPA) which built 850 airports and over 125000 public buildings. This program painted murals on school walls and other public buildings as well as performed in theatre troupes all over the country. It constructed and repaired over 651000 miles of road and emlpoyed women to make more than 300million garments for the needy.
