Letter Action for the delay of the Youth Climate Corps pilot

Mark Carney & Patty Hajdu,

Where is the Youth Climate Corps you promised us?

The Youth Climate Corps is a movement of young people and allies fighting for a future where everyone has access to good, green jobs and a livable planet.

Through grassroots organizing and diverse voices, we WON a $40M YCC pilot in Budget 2025. We are demanding a permanent, fully funded Youth Climate Corps by Budget 2026 as the nation-building solution to tackle rising youth unemployment and the climate crisis—while ensuring the pilot itself is fair, equitable, and aligned with our campaign principles.

While we won a pilot, we are still asking Prime Minister Carney and the Minister of Jobs & Families Hajdu, "Where is the Youth Climate Corps pilot that was promised?"

Send a letter to make our voices heard!

The Youth Climate Corps pilot is sitting on the sidelines as the government instead cuts public services, subsidizes carbon capture, builds pipelines, signs MOUs with Alberta for LNG projects, and clears the way for unregulated AI data centers, all of which will accelerate job losses, abuse Indigenous rights, and deepen environmental harm.
