Read Our 2025 Courtenay Season Program Report

From May to October 2025, YCCBC Courtenay ran a successful pilot program in the Comox Valley, employing four youth (ages 17–30) at a living wage. Supported by a Program Lead, the team worked as Community Climate Action Mobilizers and a Program Coordinator, focusing on ecosystem restoration, food security, environmental monitoring, and community connection.

Youth gained job-ready skills through hands-on work and targeted training, including leadership development, Standard First Aid, WHMIS, cultural workshops with the K’ómoks First Nation, and learning on the intersections of climate change, health, and wood-smoke air quality, while contributing to meaningful, ongoing community initiatives.
