Youth Eco Stewards Volunteers
Join youth-focused environmental initiatives to stop the spread of invasive species across Canada. If you are between 12 and 30 years old and want to be a driver of positive change in your community, sign up to join Invasives Canada’s Youth Eco-Stewards (YES) Program today! This is an opportunity to do good while gaining practical, hands-on work experience, as well as networking, and skill/leadership-development opportunities.
Responsibilities and roles of a YES volunteer are varied, as we can tailor the program to each volunteer’s interests and career development. A YES volunteer will design and lead their own community project on their own or as part of a team. Examples of community projects include: planting/maintaining a pollinator garden, a weed pull in a local neighbourhood or backyard, a community litter cleanup, designing education and outreach materials, data input and management, helping local conservation organizations, and much more!
