YCCBC Is Featured In Student Energy's New Report

We're excited to share that Youth Climate Corps BC has been featured in Student Energy's new report, Building the Clean Energy Workforce of Tomorrow.

The report explores how Canada can develop the workforce needed for the clean energy transition and highlights YCCBC as an example of how paid, hands-on climate action opportunities help young people build skills, gain experience, and contribute to their communities while preparing for careers in the green economy.

As a featured case study, YCCBC is recognized for its unique place-based model, where youth work on locally relevant climate solutions ranging from ecosystem restoration and wildfire risk reduction to energy efficiency and community resilience projects.

The report also highlights the strength of our cohort-based approach, mentorship opportunities, and commitment to creating pathways for youth from diverse backgrounds, including Indigenous youth, women, newcomers, and youth from rural and remote communities. Since 2020, more than 150 young people have participated in YCCBC programs across British Columbia, contributing to meaningful climate action in their communities.

This recognition reflects the incredible work happening across our programs every day. Thank you to our participants, staff, partners, and supporters who continue to make this impact possible.
