This month, we are thrilled to share some exciting updates with you. As we celebrated Earth Day on the 22nd, our commitment to environmental stewardship and youth empowerment was further strengthened.


We are pleased to announce the arrival of a new team member, Aarisha, who joins us as a valuable addition to our efforts. Additionally, we have some fantastic job opportunities available, offering you the chance to be part of our impactful work.


We have also received significant support from the government, marking a major milestone for our organization and the youth we serve.


Lastly, a motion supporting YCC was passed in Penticton, further solidifying our commitment to climate action. Read on for more details on these developments!


 
 
 

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.
