Send us your job-hunting stories.
As part of a campaign for the Youth Climate Corps, we’re listening to stories about the challenges that youth face in this job market.
We also want to know if you’d welcome the chance to enroll in a Youth Climate Corps, if the federal government were to finally launch such a program!
* the online survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to fill out. The survey can be completely anonymous, or you can choose to share your name.
We will use these stories to show the federal government that austerity measures are hurting youth and to fight for a large-scale Youth Climate Corps! We may use these stories on social media or in creative direct actions. If you have any questions, please email info@climateemergencyunit.ca
What’s a Youth Climate Corps (YCC)?
The YCC would be a massive government-funded program to hire tens of thousands of young people into climate-related work. Workers would support efforts in their communities to both better prepare for climate disruptions and to drive down carbon pollution, as well as find work in extreme weather emergency response. The program would ideally last 2 years, offer benefits, education, and a pathway to post-secondary certification (an undergrad degree or apprenticeship).
