Meet Brontë, Hannah, Dan, Maya, & Sam, the 2025 West Kootenay Youth Climate Corps! This year’s crew has brought a unique mix of passion, skills, and personalities to the table. From ecology nerds to wildfire mitigation enthusiasts, they’ve been passionately rolling up their sleeves and taking action for climate and community resilience across the West Kootenays. While they all joined YCC for various reasons, from building field skills to strengthening community connections, they all share a strong desire to protect their surrounding ecosystems and kickstart their careers in environmental work.


Stay tuned for their social media takeover on our YCCBC channels this week!

 
 
 

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.
