Paid what and by whom? Would it be on par with enlistees pay? I surely don't like the idea of yet another new government program.

Sounds to me like a federal version of the various state conservation corps programs, which themselves were just offshoots of what was originally a federal program during the depression.
If they're anything like the civilian conservation corps was, it will be paid for by paying people to do the jobs, rather than paying contractors to do them. Which is basically deficit neutral, it just spreads the work around a bit, and puts a few businesses back into the private sector rather than government contract work. Potentially it saves some money because people aren't billing for $1000 toilet seats.

That isn't Trump's idea, see something, say something has been around a long time.
