The typical CCC enrollee was a U.S. citizen, unmarried, unemployed male, 18–25 years of age. Normally his family was on local relief. Each enrollee volunteered and, upon passing a physical exam and/or a period of conditioning, was required to serve a minimum six-month period, with the option to serve as many as four periods, or up to two years if employment outside the Corps was not possible. Enrollees worked 40 hours per week over five days, sometimes including Saturdays if poor weather dictated. In return they received $30 per month ({{Inflation|US|30|1933|r=-1|fmt=eq}}) with a compulsory allotment of $25 (about {{Inflation|US|25
|1933|r=-1|fmt=eq}}) sent to a family dependent, as well as housing, food, clothing, and medical care.<ref>{{cite book |last=Wirth |first=Conrad L. |year=1980 |title=Parks, Politics and the People |publisher=University of Oklahoma Press |location=Norman |pages=94–99 |isbn=0-8061-1605-6}}</ref>

====Veterans Conservation Corps====
Following the second [[Bonus Army]] march on Washington, D.C., President Roosevelt amended the CCC program on May 11, 1933, to include work opportunities for veterans. Veteran qualifications differed from the junior enrollee; one needed to be certified by the Veterans Administration by an application. They could be any age, and married or single as long as they were in need of work. Veterans were generally assigned to entire veteran camps.<ref name="Ermentrout2">{{cite book |last=Ermentrout |first=Robert Allen |title=Forgotten Men: The Civilian Conservation Corps |year=1982 |location=Smithtown, NY |publisher=Exposition Press |page=17 |isbn=0-682-49805-X}}</ref> Enrollees were eligible for the following "rated" positions to help with camp administration: senior leader, mess steward, storekeeper and two cooks; assistant leader, company clerk, assistant educational advisor and three second cooks. These men received additional pay ranging from $36 to $45 per month depending on their rating.
