Across British Columbia, young people are helping communities prepare for a changing climate.


In this short documentary, Youth Climate Corps BC teams and community partners share how youth are advancing wildfire resilience through FireSmart initiatives, forest management, emergency preparedness, and innovative climate solutions. Through this work, teams build skills and pathways into meaningful climate careers.


From wildfire mitigation in Kamloops to biochar innovation in the Kootenays, discover what’s possible when young people have the training, support, and opportunity to take meaningful climate action.



Watch the documentary on YouTube:



Youth Climate Corps BC works alongside local governments, First Nations, and community organizations to create opportunities for young people to contribute to climate solutions in their communities.

Solidarity Statement

We are committed to maintaining and growing respectful relationships in every region where we work.

 

YCCBC recognizes that colonization has deeply disrupted Indigenous Peoples’ relationships with their lands, communities, and cultural practices. We understand that the climate crisis is rooted in ongoing systems of colonialism and resource extraction—systems that became possible through the dispossession of Indigenous Peoples from their homelands.

​

We believe that Indigenous sovereignty is essential to building just futures and liveable worlds. YCCBC is committed to listening, learning, and walking in solidarity with Indigenous communities and to supporting Indigenous-led climate action across the province.

We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Energy and Climate Solutions.

ABOUT US 

Youth Climate Corps BC develops the climate leaders of tomorrow by training a workforce of young people who know how to work together, communicate powerfully, and get things done on projects that contribute to climate resilience in communities across British Columbia.
