Empower them through a Youth Climate Corps delivered by Katimavik<\/b><\/p>\n

For nearly 50 years, Katimavik has proven that, when young Canadians are given the chance to serve, they deliver with purpose, courage, and measurable impact. As Canada launches a national Youth Climate Corps, the fastest, most reliable way to deliver this commitment is to strengthen the national platform that already exists<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Proven Impact<\/b><\/p>\n

Through Katimavik\u2019s National Experience, participants contribute about 30 hours per week to projects across the country, advancing climate resilience, food security, environmental restoration, and emergency readiness, while gaining job-ready skills.<\/p>\n

The results:
\n\u2022 96% improve leadership skills
\n\u2022 94% strengthen personal resiliency
\n\u2022 90% build cross-cultural competence
\n\u2022 88% improve teamwork
\n\u2022 84% increase civic engagement<\/p>\n

Youth Are Ready<\/b><\/p>\n

Young Canadians want meaningful climate action, purpose, structure, and tangible work experience.<\/p>\n

Katimavik has long championed and advocated for the creation of the Youth Climate Corps, and welcomes federal leadership to make it a reality.<\/p>\n

Activating at Scale<\/b><\/p>\n

Katimavik operates in urban, rural, and Indigenous communities across Canada.<\/p>\n

Systems are in place:
\n\u2022 Recruitment and screening
\n\u2022 Housing, training, and mentorship
\n\u2022 Program evaluation and accountability
\n\u2022 Partnerships across the country<\/p>\n

No new infrastructure is required<\/b>. Katimavik can launch the Youth Climate Corps now<\/b>.<\/p>\n

A Win for Canada<\/b><\/p>\n

Delivering through Katimavik means moving quickly, directing resources to youth and communities, and demonstrating decisive climate leadership.<\/p>\n

This is more than a youth initiative. It\u2019s a service pathway and a workforce solution.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s youth are ready to serve.<\/b>
\nKatimavik is ready to lead.<\/b><\/p>\n
