Engaging Young Canadians
The Ontario Conservation Corps breaks the barriers youth face in gaining meaningful skills, and employment while also building their knowledge, increasing self-esteem, and connectedness to their communities.
We believe in strengthening the community through youth participation. Youth are the backbone of the economy and should be regarded as important. They need to be actively involved in interacting with people and opportunities that are available to them in their environment.
Youth should be engaged as communities create services and opportunities that are beneficial for their development and growth. Engaging youth under the Ontario Conservation Corps program also prepares them to be active citizens.
