The West Kootenay Youth Climate Corps (WK) is delivered in partnership with Wildsight, an environmental organization that has been working in the Columbia Basin for over 35 years to support sustainable communities and protect biodiversity.


This year’s crew consisted of five technicians and one coordinator, and was focused on fostering local partnerships committed to climate action. This YCC supported climate action in two different ways. Firstly, we were responsible for projects in collaboration with a local organization, and secondly, we contributed to projects led by other organizations. The two projects led by us were a wildfire risk reduction program in partnership with Creston Community Forest and a community outreach program in partnership with Regional District of Central Kootenays.

Solidarity Statement

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.
