At Wildsight YCC Golden, our vision is to create a community that thrives in harmony with nature. We are dedicated to addressing climate challenges, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering a resilient future for generations to come.
Within Youth Climate Corps, crew members are between 17-30 years old; they earn wages, gain work experience, build networks, and develop themselves personally and professionally. Meanwhile, they complete projects that both benefit their own communities and support global efforts to act on the climate crisis.
