We are excited to highlight that Eymie Labbé, our Communications and Marketing Director, has been honoured as the first-ever recipient of the Darren Barefoot Legacy Fund. Thanks to this scholarship, which supports the next generation of marketing and communication professionals dedicated to climate action, Eymie attended Hollyhock’s Activate communications leadership conference on Cortes Island. This event gathers progressive communications and marketing professionals to share best practices in digital campaigns, fundraising, organizing, and communications, fostering collaboration and innovation.


We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Darren Barefoot Legacy Fund and Hollyhock for making this possible.

 
 
 

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.
