    Reminds me of the Conservation Corps. As much as I support the concept, programs like this are not for people who need money.

        Possible lodging, no food.

        It was quite a few years before I could afford a month’s worth of food in one go, and I was too old to join by then. The way they (people my own age) handled telling me that I was too poor to join their club, left a lasting impression.
