Transfers
The Civilian Conservation Corps existed between 1933 and 1942. It employed millions of unmarried men between the ages of 17 and 25 on projects in rural areas owned primarily by federal, state, and local governments. The CCC was designed to provide jobs for young men, to relieve families who had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression in the United States. The men served a term of six months, but they could serve up to four terms. They earned $30 a month, $25 of which was sent home to their families.
