We are happy to announce that Youth Climate Corps BC has received generous funding from Coast Capital to support our Vancouver-based Youth Climate Corps operations. This $50,000 contribution will help us empower young people to pursue climate-careers through meaningful work and living wages.


Coast Capital's Social Purpose team has recognized the value of our program and the essential role young people play in addressing the climate crisis. This funding will help expand opportunities for youth and create more climate resilient communities.


We extend our deep thanks to Coast Capital for their trust and belief in our mission. Together, we are building a brighter, more sustainable future through youth-driven action.

 
 
 

Solidarity Statement

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.
