Environmental Youth Alliance empowers youth from equity-denied communities to become environmental stewards.
EYA is committed to maintaining a staff team and board of directors who represent the youth who participate in our programs. We centre positionality and lived experiences and are working to nurture an equitable, anti-oppressive, and culturally-safe workplace.
We provide free land-based education and paid employment training programs that support youth to develop the skills and confidence to become environmental stewards. Our programs centre on three themes - native plant horticulture, ecological restoration, and plant medicine. All programs integrate Indigenous teachings and land stewardship protocols through visits from Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers. EYA programs are led by youth who identify as Indigenous, Black, and/or People of Colour.
Watch this video to hear first hand, how positively impactful the alliance for youth. Hearts growing 💚
