Hiring opens for the 2025 East Kootenay Youth Climate Corps season in January 2025. Follow along for more updates.
As climate change places increasing pressure on our global, regional and local ecosystems and communities, the need to respond with meaningful action could not be more pressing. Harnessing the energy and ambition of young adults, Wildsight’s Youth Climate Corps empowers you to inspire and implement solutions to the climate crisis through employment, training and leadership development.
Past seasons for the East Kootenay YCC crew, based in Kimberley, included working with partners from environmental and community-based organizations to address climate change locally. Crew members worked on projects ranging from food security to ecosystem restoration to wildfire risk reduction. This year’s team will experience an array of disciplines and learn how each is contributing to climate action work in its own unique way!
These represent core skills sets we expect our team to walk away from the program with. However, through the participation and implementation of our project work, those involved will most certainly walk away with more.
