Sagot :

Civilian Conservation Corps the Social Security Act

The correct answer is C) the Civilian Conservation Corps.

The agency that served primarily to provide employment to young adults was the Civilian Conservation Corps.

When Franklin D. Roosevelt became President of the United States, one of his priorities was to help America recover from the Great Depression. That is why he created an ambitious program called the "New Deal," to help US citizens overcome the economic problems they faced. One of those programs -and probably one of the most successful. was the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). This program offered jobs to millions of young Americans in environmental tasks, planting millions of trees in natural parks areas and helping in conservation programs protecting the environment.
