What was the purpose of the civilian conservation corps?

The Civil Conservation Corps was a state labor aid program for young Americans, created during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in March 1933.

Explanation:

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a program created during Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal to give work to unemployed young people meeting certain criteria: to be a single man, in good health, American citizen and to have a member of his family who receives social aid.

This program was put in place on March 31, 1933 by President Roosevelt and dissolved on June 30, 1942. It worked in concert with the Work Projects Administration. Through reforestation, erosion control and flooding, this treasury bill program employed thousands of unemployed youth across the country: 250,000 jobs were created for men from 18 to 25 years; in eight years, the CCC guaranteed a monthly salary of $30 to nearly two million young people.

The CCC, during its period of operation, restored more than 3,900 historic buildings, and developed more than 800 state parks. It traced more than 28,000 miles of trails, and also built more than 38,500 road bridges, at least 3,116 observation towers, and numerous museums and lodges.
