![["Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas is advocating for the passage of a bill to establish a Civilian Conservation Corps to provide work and educational experiences for young people who are unemployed. The program would focus on conservation efforts in areas such as land, forests, animals, and water resources. The bill has been carefully designed to ensure it does not interfere with existing commercial or conservation work, and enrollment would be voluntary for youth aged 17 to 23. The program is seen as a way to address unemployment while also addressing critical conservation needs in the country."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_171_3_0000-Statements%20in%20Congress,%20speeches,%20and%20press%20releases%20of%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_171_3_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Challenges and Solutions for Older Workers: A Call to Action by Honorable Helen Gahagan Douglas")
