Canadian Youth for Climate Leadership and Equity (CYCLE)
‼️Applications are now open for the Canadian Youth for Climate Leadership and Equity (CYCLE) program! Are you or someone you know between the ages of 18-29 living in Canada, and passionate about building a more sustainable and equitable future? Then check out CYCLE!
🌿In partnership with @faithcommongood and with generous funding from Catherine Donnelly Foundation and @greenpeacear, the CYCLE program aims to bring together Canadian youth from equity deserving backgrounds who often do not see themselves represented in sustainability related careers.
Inspired by @diversityinsustainability 2021 The State of Equity, Diversity and Sustainability Blueprint - which states that many sustainability practitioners of colour struggle to advance in their careers due to lack of network sponsors and knowledge of the field - CYCLE will bring together emerging leaders from across Canada by offering:
🤝 Opportunities to connect with local experts and policy makers to understand Canada‘s unique climate needs
🧠 Mentorship, and 1:1 networking opportunities with sustainability professionals to gain real world experience
👨🏾💻 Webinars to help build skills and capacity around technical skills, environmental restoration, community project development, and climate advocacy
💪🏾🌎 CYCLE aims to foster a diverse and inclusive climate justice movement and empower youth from equity deserving communities to be sustainability champions within their own communities.
