Congressional declaration of policy and purpose The Congress finds that the Youth Conserva- tion Corps has demonstrated a high degree of success as a pilot program wherein American youth, representing all segments of society, have benefited by gainful employment in the healthful outdoor atmosphere of the national park system, the national forest system, other public land and water areas of the United States and by their employment have developed, en- hanced, and maintained the natural resources of the United States, and whereas in so doing the youth have gained an understanding and appre- ciation of the Nation’s environment and herit- age equal to one full academic year of study, it is accordingly the purpose of this subchapter to expand and make permanent the Youth Con- servation Corps and thereby further the develop- ment and maintenance of the natural resources by America’s youth, and in so doing to prepare them for the ultimate responsibility of main- taining and managing these resources for the American people.
