Youth Climate Corps Golden

We launched a pilot program in 2023 in Golden. It was an incredible season, with work done in wildfire risk reduction, food security, invasive species, public engagement, and many learning opportunities for the crew along the way.

Possible future seasons are TBD. Watch this page for more information, or sign up for Wildsight’s newsletter to stay updated with Youth Climate Corps news.

We invite you to reach out to Golden YCC coordinator Tim Chapman with any questions.
