Youth Climate Corps Kimberley-Cranbrook

Hiring is now complete for the 2023 Kimberley/Cranbrook season. Thank you for your interest!

This season the Kimberley-Cranbrook YCC crew will be working with several partners from environmental and community-based organizations to address climate change locally. Crew members will be conducting work in a range of fields 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!
