In 1933, the United States was under the grip of the worst economic depression in its history. With 500,000 unemployed young men, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1933–1945) introduced a social program to alleviate suffering for the nation’s people and her resources: the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), established on April 5, 1933, and disbanded July 1, 1942.

During these years, camps of young CCC men, under the supervision of the U.S. Labor and War Departments, banded together in all forty-eight states to improve and protect natural resources such as soil, forests, and national and state parks. In the process, young men improved themselves by acquiring education as well as vocational and professional skills that served them well after they left the CCC.
