[[Image:Ccc michigan camps.jpg|thumb|200px|CCC camps in [[Michigan]]; the [[tent]]s were soon changed to barracks by [[Army]] [[employer]]s for the workers.]] The '''Civilian Conservation Corps''' ('''CCC''') was started by [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] during the [[Great Depression]]. The ''CCC'' gave young [[men]] [[job]]s such as fighting [[forest]] [[fire]]s, digging ditches, and [[plant]]ing [[tree]]s. The ''CCC'' paid these men about thirty [[dollar]]s a month. At first, it was planned to get men out of the [[City|cities]], but more men came from [[small]] towns and [[rural]] [[area]]s. == Other websites == *[http://www.cccalumni.org/museum.html TripleCCC Museum in St. Louis, Missouri] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509084731/http://www.cccalumni.org/museum.html |date=2008-05-09 }} {{commonscat}} {{US-stub}} [[Category:20th century in the United States]] [[Category:Franklin D.
