This year, Youth Climate Corps BC (YCCBC) had the privilege of being part of UBCM 2023. Ben Simoni, represented the spirit and determination of YCCBC. Ben's presence at UBCM underscores the importance of youth engagement in climate action.


At YCCBC, we believe that youth are key stakeholders in our communities, and we're committed to giving them the means and agency to make meaningful change. Ben's involvement at UBCM showcases our dedication to partnering with local governments and emphasizes the potential of involving young people in achieving our community goals.

UBCM provides a unique opportunity to connect with local government officials and stakeholders, fostering a dialogue about the urgent need for climate action. It allows us to highlight the pivotal role that YCCBC plays in building a sustainable and habitable future for British Columbia.


As we navigate the climate challenges of our time, partnerships and collaborations with local governments are essential. Together, we can create a greener, more resilient future for all. Following our presence at UBCM, we invite all City Climate Leaders to join us on October 30th for our Exclusive Webinar: Explore the Potential of YCCBC in Your Community.


Thank you, UBCM, for being a platform for change, and thank you, Ben Simoni, for representing YCCBC's vision and passion for a sustainable British Columbia.

 
 
 

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.
