Roosevelt as part of his New Deal, intended to combat the Great Depression that the United States was experiencing. The C.C.C. hired unemployed American men between 18 and 25 years of age to work on various government projects, focused on road construction, flood control, reforestation, and soil erosion prevention. C.C.C. workers also improved or constructed local, state, and national parks. View on Ohio Memory.
