Why the CCC ended

• The CCC ended in 1942 because the men were needed for World War II

• The program was deemed unnecessary and funding was redirected to the war effort

“In my way of thinking, the CCC was a monumental success in saving the youth of the 1930’s. . . endowing the individual CCC enrollee with a feeling of dignity, for he was giving his Country an honorable and worthwhile return for what it was doing for him and for his family economically – such a stark contrast to the shameful, character-robbing Welfare Programs of today.”
