"Hello! Madi here, I want to share some pictures that show what it’s like to be part of the amazing Youth Climate Corps Kamloops Crew! Working with YCCBC has connected me with a variety of community members and leaders, some of which have provided tangible action that I can personally take to alleviate the effects of climate change within Kamloops and surrounding areas. I feel so connected to the place where I’ve lived my entire life, and I look forward to all the exciting things we have in the works for this summer!

Every week we spend time helping out at Butler Urban Farms, a community resource for accessing fresh produce, as well as bike valet, which encourages low emission and active transportation. We also have the Climate Friendly Homes Program launching in partnership with the City of Kamloops very soon, and keep an eye out for our upcoming Climate Cafe!"

 
 
 

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.
