Biden launched the American Climate Corps to create jobs and address the climate crisis.
The program is similar to the Civilian Conservation Corps, a Depression-era work relief plan by FDR.
The CCC employed over 2.5 million men in the nine years it existed and planted 3 billion trees.
Modeled after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 Civilian Climate Corps, Biden's program aims to employ about 20,000 young adults.
Take a look back into the camps of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
