Instituted in 1933 as part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal, the Civil Conservation Corps (CCC) was a voluntary government work relief program throughout the United States. It targeted young men ages 17-28 years old and provided manual labor jobs and housing as well as a small stipend. East Tennessee had many CCC camps.
