Youth Climate Corps BC and Urban Climate Leadership Partner to Offer Three New Job Opportunities
Youth Climate Corps BC (YCCBC) is partnering with Urban Climate Leadership (UCL) to offer three full-time employment opportunities for young people across British Columbia.
These six-month positions offer young people aged 17–30 the opportunity to gain professional experience, develop transferable skills, and contribute to initiatives addressing challenges facing communities across the province. Through the partnership, successful applicants will work four days per week with UCL and one day per week with YCCBC, gaining experience across both organizations.
The three available positions are:
Program Assistant, Keep It Cool
Support an initiative working to transition 5,000 low-rise apartments and condos in BC to energy-efficient heat pumps. The role involves research, policy analysis, stakeholder engagement, and outreach to help advance building improvements that support residents' health, safety, and resilience during extreme temperatures.
Program Assistant, Data Centres
Contribute to research and policy analysis examining the local impacts of data centre development. The role explores how data centres interact with land, water, energy, and local decision-making, while supporting municipal engagement, stakeholder dialogues, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
Communications Assistant
Support UCL's communications and knowledge-sharing work through content creation, digital communications, and the development of accessible resources. The role offers experience translating research and policy into engaging content for a broad audience.
All three positions offer opportunities for mentorship, professional development, and collaboration with municipal governments, community organizations, and other partners.
