    The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) provided employment and vocational training for unemployed youths and, to a lesser extent, for war veterans and Native Americans, through conservation and natural resources development work, and beginning in May 1940, defense work on military reservations and forest protection. Black youths and some African American veterans participated in the CCC programs. Most were assigned to work in segregated camps.
