Youth Climate Corps investment
Over 180 faith-based organizations and civil society groups have officially endorsed the Youth Climate Corps open letter launched on December 4, 2024. The launching event hosted by the Youth Climate Corps campaign and Climate Action Network Canada (CAN-Rac) on Parliament Hill brought together a broad coalition advocating for a transformative Youth Climate Corps to address Canada’s climate and workforce challenges. Over 180 organizations, including ORCIE, are calling on key ministers to commit to an initial $1 billion investment for the program’s national, large-scale rollout.
