The YCCBC Courtenay team was recently featured by CHLY 101.7 FM, a non-profit campus–community radio station based in Nanaimo. The piece highlights the team’s first season in Courtenay, their partnerships with local organizations, and their hopes for continued funding to grow the program.


The feature includes an interview with Mikasa Quaife, Program Lead for the Courtenay team, who shared reflections on the team’s impact and the importance of creating meaningful green jobs for youth:

"Quaife shared that it is significant to create these employment opportunities in a time of extreme youth unemployment rates across Canada, and particularly in B.C. Additionally, by increasing the capacity of local communities, the YCC enables youth to find meaningful work in their own communities rather than having to move or commute to bigger cities."

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.

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.
