We'd like to introduce you to our new Communications Coordinator, Augustus.


Augustus Lees was raised in Malaysia and now lives on the traditional and unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan people. Having previously led YCCBC cohorts in Kelowna, he brings experience in team leadership, community engagement, and climate action to his role as Communications Coordinator. His appreciation for the natural world shapes his approach to communications. Outside of YCCBC, he can usually be found boxing, hiking, or reading.

Comments


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.
