In the heart of Vancouver, an inspiring journey has begun. The inaugural Youth Climate Corps BC (YCCBC) - Vancouver team has taken flight, ready to embark on a mission that promises to drive climate action and community engagement. Led by the dedicated coordinator, Sam Kutyauripo, this remarkable team is set to make a profound impact in the lower mainland. The first-ever YCCBC program in Vancouver is a significant milestone. Collaborating with partners like CityHive, Eon Electric, The Hub, and the Vancouver Hastings Climate Action Team, this dedicated crew is all set to embark on projects aimed at enhancing climate resilience and promoting sustainable practices. These initiatives promise to make Vancouver a shining example of environmental stewardship.

Partnership and Support None of this would be possible without the generous support of Coast Capital, Eon Electric, and the Houssain Foundation. Their commitment to the YCCBC Vancouver crew's cause is a testament to the importance of empowering youth in the fight against climate change.

An Exciting Journey Ahead The first week for the YCCBC Vancouver team marked the beginning of a transformative journey. As they gather as a team and prepare to gain leadership skills in their role as climate ambassadors for the city of Vancouver, there's an air of excitement and optimism.

Stay tuned for more updates from YCCBC Vancouver. The road ahead is filled with promise, and together, they are poised to make a real difference in their communities and inspire change far beyond the city's boundaries.

The YCCBC Vancouver team is not just a group of young individuals; they are the architects of a sustainable and resilient future. As they work tirelessly to confront the climate crisis head-on, they invite us all to be part of this journey towards a greener, more sustainable world. Let's support and celebrate their dedication and passion for a better tomorrow. 🌿 #YCCBCVancouver #ClimateAction #YouthLeadership



 
 
 

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.
