YCCBC is excited to launch its first program in Kamloops in partnership with the City of Kamloops. YCCBC recruited a crew of local people aged 17-30 to work on the community climate action projects and gain essential workforce and leadership training. The team just started this May 1st; their primary focus for the next months will be The Climate Friendly Homes Program.


The Climate Friendly Homes Program helps households plan and prioritize ways to reduce energy costs and carbon pollution, prepare for extreme weather, and support biodiversity. The program is a collaborative effort of the Youth Climate Corps BC (YCCBC), BC Hydro, and the City of Kamloops. The YCCBC team will deliver public education and outreach activities at various community events, including the Bike Valet service at the Kamloops Farmers Market every Saturday. Meet the new team at the Kamloops Farmers Market to learn more about The Climate Friendly Homes Program and how it can support you, and stay tuned for more YCCBC Kamloops news!

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.
