She lobbied for a sister organization to the CCC but for young women. Eleanor Roosevelt proposed that this would consist of camps for jobless women and residential worker schools. The She-She-She camps were funded by presidential order in 1933. (ER) found that the men-only focus of the program left out those young women from families without unemployed men, but whom were willing to work in conservation and forestry and to sign up for the 6 month programs living away from family and close support. Labor Secretary and Cabinet Member Frances Perkins championed one such camp after ER held a White House Conference for Unemployed Women on April 30, 1934, and subsequently ER's concept of a nationwide jobless women's camp was achieved. While the public largely supported the New Deal programs and the CCC was a huge success, employing a quarter of a million young men annually until the program transitioned into and onto military bases at the advent of WWII to build the infrastructure needed for the drafted troops, the women's version barely topped 5,000 women annually by 1936 and overall served 8,500 as a result of ER's support."@en }
