Canada's Youth Climate Corps creates opportunities for young Canadians (15-30 years old) to contribute to climate action while building careers in Canada's energy, forestry, mining and earth sciences sectors. Participants gain valuable work experience, develop in-demand skills, and explore meaningful career pathways.
As a delivery agent, Clean Foundation connects participants with hands-on projects that support climate adaptation, emergency preparedness and sustainable resource development, helping strengthen communities across Canada.
Participating youth will benefit from:
- Paid work experience
- Career development and mentorship
- Skills training and professional growth
- Opportunities to contribute to climate action and sustainable development projects
- Connections to emerging careers in Canada's energy, forestry, mining and earth sciences sectors
Participating employers will:
- Receive a wage subsidy of up to $12,500 per intern hired who self-identifies as belonging to an employment equity group*, and up to $10,000 per intern hired who does not fall within one of these groups.
- provide relevant and meaningful work experiences to young Canadians in the natural resource sectors; and
- gain access to skilled, job-ready, individuals in the clean economy.
*Employment equity groups considered under this program include: women, 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, youth with disabilities, Indigenous youth, youth living in a northern, rural or remote community, official language minority youth or racialized youth.
