Championing Dismantling Systemic Oppression in the Workplace: YCCBC Welcomes Donna Hall as the Director of People and Culture

Youth Climate Corps BC (YCCBC) is thrilled to announce its bold commitment to addressing systemic oppression and enhancing workplace wellbeing with the hiring of Donna Hall as the Director of People and Culture. Donna, a Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) and a Certified Executive Coach (CEC), joins us with over 15 years of experience in the non-profit, cooperative, and post-secondary education sectors.

Donna’s appointment comes at a time of significant expansion for YCCBC. Thanks to recent funding from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, we are able to grow YCCBC’s operations by onboarding talented new team members such as Donna. In this newly created role, Donna will be responsible for shaping the position of Director of People and Culture, ensuring our people practices and processes align with our values, with a primary focus on the wellbeing of our employees.

Beyond her extensive experience, we value Donna’s commitment to fostering connection and community. We aim to further embody her perspective on the intersectionality of systemic oppression and workplace health, recognizing that systems of oppression not only contribute to the climate crisis but also create unhealthy work environments. As YCCBC grows, we are confident that Donna’s intersectional approach to creating safe work environments will further permeate all levels of the organisation. As YCCBC strives to create a better future for young people through well-paid, fulfilling jobs, the importance of intersectionality and supportive work environments remains at the heart of our mission.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Donna is a passionate lover of the natural world. Above all else, she finds joy in being in the ocean with her Sheltie pup, Liza. We are delighted to welcome Donna to YCCBC.
