Fraser Basin Council Youth Program

The FBC Youth Program supports BC youth to engage in sustainability initiatives, deepen their understanding of complex issues, gain skills and take leadership to serve the places where they live, study, work and play.

FBC Youth Director and Advisory Committee

Youth engagement and capacity building are important in all our work!

A Youth Director, Ann Duong, serves on FBC's Board to bring a youth voice to discussions and consensus-building.

FBC initiatives for BC youth are shaped by a Youth Advisory Committee, which also supports the Youth Director and provides input on sustainability issues.

Co-Creating a Sustainable BC

Want to change the world? Here's how  BC youth are doing it, starting with their own communities!

Co-Creating a Sustainable BC (CCSBC) is a multi-year initiative of the FBC Youth Program. CCSBC supports youth participants as they deepen their understanding of the social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability. They take what they've learned to design and implement a project that will have a direct and positive impact in their own communities. By the end of the program, participants come away with greater confidence to advocate for change and to realize a shared vision of a healthy and thriving community.

Over several successful years, it's been a valuable experience for all!

• Collaborating and forming relationships with other youth who care about the environment and their community
• Learning from and networking with leaders in their region and across the province doing exciting work on sustainability and climate change
• Encouraging positive action in communities through their own sustainability projects
• Strengthening skills in project coordination and implementation, such as planning, communications, budgeting and more
• Building bonds and connecting with the land and waters through outdoor-based learning trips (all expenses paid!)
• Most of all, HAVING FUN!
