The Youth Climate Corps exists to connect, inspire and empower young adults interested in making a difference for the greatest challenge of this generation:
the climate crisis.
We work together to minimize the impacts of climate change while building a more resilient future. Our crews address climate change at the local level, directly in their communities and the ecosystems that surround them.

Pursue a climate-positive career!
The Youth Climate Corps is an opportunity to kickstart or further develop your career in climate related fields through multi-month paid contracts. Youth Climate Corps programs in BC’s Columbia Basin region are a partnership between Wildsight and Youth Climate Corps BC. For opportunities elsewhere in BC, visit the Youth Climate Corps BC website.
Our crews receive professional certifications, mentorship, leadership development, and practical work experience. You will immediately make a difference by implementing meaningful climate solutions in your region while laying groundwork for your own future – all while having fun working with a community of peers.

Do you have questions? Email your local co-ordinator:
We believe you have the power to shape the future of your community and the planet.
