We need a mass mobilization of new workers to reduce our emissions and prepare for the climate crisis. A Youth Climate Corps could be exactly what we need, offering a good, green, union job to any young person who wants one.

After over a year of work, the campaign won a commitment to a YCC in the 2024 budget, with the federal government planning consultations starting later this year. We are ready to tell them loud and clear: a Youth Climate Corps only works if it is big, public, and rooted in climate justice. We want you to tell them with us.

Whether you are a union, a city, a First Nation, or a community group, we want to hear what a Youth Climate Corps could mean for your community.

Ready to join the call?
