Yukon Youth Conservation Corps

Provides supervised, equipped crews of 1 to 5 summer students to work on conservation projects in Yukon communities. Most of the cost of hiring a crew, including basic training, transportation and camping accommodation if required, is covered by the program.

Project sponsors in Yukon with a conservation- or environment-related project carried out in the Yukon, 1 to 2 weeks long in July or August (longer or earlier projects may be possible), that gives students career-related knowledge and skills, has long-lasting benefits, clear goals, is safety conscious, and has enthusiastic sponsors involved with the students.
