Civilian Conservation Corps Company 2359

President Franklin D. Roosevelt made a deal with three million young men in 1933. He would pay them $30 monthly, plus room and board, to improve public lands, forests, parks, and respond to other environmental and infrastructure projects in the United States and its territories. The president enacted the deal by executive order. It put forth a “New Deal” to preserve the future of the American landscape and engage the young, unemployed American male of the Great Depression. The families of men in Company 2359 received $25 monthly. The remaining $5 went to the men. Additional benefits included educational and vocational opportunities. Men without high school diplomas could study and get one. The work programs in the field and in the camps were rigorous and well organized to ensure improvements in the men and in the country. “New Deal” programs however, were discontinued in 1942 as World War II swept the globe and captured many Civil Conservation Corps workers in its wake.
