Members of the West Kootenay Youth Climate Corps
Wildsight is seeking to hire a group of young adults in the West Kootenay area interested in tackling unique local projects that address the global climate crisis and support local community priorities.
From September to December 2021, crew members on the Youth Climate Corps (YCC) will earn wages and receive training in leadership, teamwork, and communication, as well as practical skills and certifications for climate-related fields such forestry, food, energy, ecology, and more. No prior experience is required. YCC successfully launched its first crew in Nelson last fall and a second in the Kimberley Cranbrook area earlier this year.

As young people come to the end of a school year unlike any before, and those in their teens and early 20s wrestle with the prospects of a dismal job market, post-secondary institutions still reeling with post-pandemic realities and, looming over it all, the escalating climate crisis, now would be a very good time to offer an ambitious new opportunity for those looking for something hopeful and meaningful.
As we close out 2020, we are diving into the top stories that defined this frenzied and heavy year.
We’ll start the show with a look back at how COVID-19 reshaped the energy transition. We’re going to revisit some predictions that did (and didn’t) come true. In the next episode, we’ll look at a wider range of (non-pandemic) 2020 stories.
Then later in the podcast, we ll talk about how advertising and PR professionals are suddenly being pressured to reveal how much of their income is from fossil fuel clients. Are firms in this industry the next to lose their social license?
