Everything about The National Youth Administration totally explained
The
National Youth Administration (NYA) was a
New Deal agency in the
United States. It operated from 1935 to 1943 as part of the
Works Progress Administration. The NYA was headed by
Aubrey Williams, a prominent liberal from Alabama who was close to
Harry Hopkins and
Eleanor Roosevelt. The head of the Texas division at one point was
Lyndon B. Johnson.
By 1938, it served 327,000 high school and college
youth, who were paid from $6 to $40 a month for "work study" projects at their schools. Another 155,000 boys and girls from relief families were paid $10 to $25 a month for part-time work that included job training. Unlike the
CCC, it included young women. The youth normally lived at home, and worked on construction or repair projects. Its annual budget was approximately $58,000,000.
The NYA operated numerous programs for out-of-school youth.
