The Corps would provide valuable work and educational experiences while also addressing the issue of youth unemployment. The program would be voluntary, last one to two years, and provide a monthly pay of $60 plus benefits. The estimated cost of the program is $400 million a year, but Representative Douglas believes it will yield significant returns in terms of human and natural resources. The Corps would be non-military and overseen by a Commission consisting of the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture.
