This summer, a YCCBC program took root in the Comox Valley!


In a piece written by alumnus Maddie Turenne, you can take a look inside the first season of YCCBC Courtenay, where youth worked on food security, ecological restoration, and watershed monitoring through partnerships with LUSH Valley, Lake Trail Community Education Society, and Project Watershed, to name a few.


Read Maddie's article in the Watershed Sentinel to learn how paid climate-action work not only builds community resilience but also helps young people turn climate anxiety into action.

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.
