Answer 1

Hello there!

Your answer would be the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).

The reason why the Civilian Conservation Corps would be your answer is because this was one of the earliest programs in the new deal that focused to relieve unemployment ratings for young unmarried men. This program was originally for men of ages 18-25, but then moved to 17-28. This program was in operation from 1933 to 1942, and did a ton of work during that time period to get young men back on their feet and working again. This programs was founded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the president that brought up the new deal plan and put it into action.

In this program, they had many projects for the young men to do. In the projects, they had the men:

• Fight forest fries
• Maintain the forest roads and trails
• Build flood barriers
• Plant trees

This program pretty much did whatever they can to get the men to stop thinking about what's going on with them financially because of the great depression. The program provided labor jobs to the men so they could get back to working and make money, this is specifically talking about the people who had trouble finding jobs during the great depression. At the end up the day, this program costed someone $30 a month for clothing, shelter, and food.
