A Bigger YCC for a Brighter Future

Let’s Expand YCC to Employ All Youth In BC

We need to employ more youth across British Columbia in climate careers. To meet BC’s emission targets and address the affordability crisis YCCBC needs better government investment to provide more environmental jobs. Join our campaign and help us advocate for a more bold and expansive YCC!

Why We Want a YCCBC

"Participating in the Youth Climate Corps has shifted my values and worldview, and it has also provided me with a deep sense of purpose.” Kate Watt, YCCBC Alumni 2021.

“For young people, this is a way forward.” Laurel Collins, Victoria Member of Parliament.

Our Team

Our team is committed to YCC's mission and recognizes the tremendous impact it could have with greater government investment. We're actively building relationships within and beyond government to rally support for the Youth Climate Corps.

 

We hold bi-weekly meetings and engage in ongoing training to enhance our skills in government relations, public outreach and public speaking. Through our volunteer efforts we not only gain valuable professional experience, but also passionately advocate for a cause we believe in.

Youth Climate Corps BC serves BC and is running projects in Squamish, Kamloops, Vancouver and North Vancouver Island. We are committed to providing communities and youth with opportunities for tangible climate action. Youth Climate Corps BC is grounded in the realities of climate science. We need scalable climate action involving young people who will most be affected by the climate crisis throughout their lifetime. To make this a reality, we need all levels of government to support this impactful program that would signal a transition to a more just, fair, abundant and sustainable future.
