Biden has been pretty vague about the details for his version of the Civilian Climate Corps , other than this statement: “This $10 billion investment will put a new, diverse generation of Americans to work conserving our public lands and waters, bolstering community resilience, and advancing environmental justice through a new Civilian Climate Corps, all while placing good-paying union jobs within reach for more Americans.”

Roosevelt's CCC was run military style and it's doubtful the soy boys and sky screamer ladies will want to participate in something like that:

The CCC was designed to provide employment for young men
in relief families who had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression
while at the same time implementing a general natural resource conservation
program in every State and territory. Men enrolled in the CCC planted over
2 billion trees, built over 125,000 miles of roads and trails, constructed over
6 million erosion control structures, and spent 6 million workdays fighting
forest fires. (No women were ever enrolled in the CCC.) Their efforts pioneered
methodologies for conserving and restoring forest and agricultural lands


Life in a CCC Camp in the 1930s:

Camp routine was determined largely by the army—the bugle
sounded at 6 a.m., enrollees dressed in blue denim work clothes
and reported to formation by 6:30 a.m., when they might engage
in a few minutes of “sitting-up exercises” before breakfast. At
7 a.m., they “policed” the grounds, at 7:15 a.m., they stood
inspection, and roll call for work began at 7:45 a.m.

At noon,
the men returned to the camp for lunch if the camp was near the
worksite; if it was not, a truck brought the men their meals, which
were eaten from army mess kits during the 30-minute lunch
period. At 3:30 p.m., the men returned to camp and had assigned
duties and work details that lasted to 4:30 p.m. On certain days,
all men engaged in brief military drill, without arms.

Between 4:30 and 5 p.m., the men showered and changed
into the dark green, army-type dress uniform. At 5 p.m., the men
gathered in small groups for mail call and announcements. The
senior leaders called the men to attention and the flag was lowered
as the bugler sounded retreat
