Conservation Youth Corps
CYC is now open for registration!
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority are also offering a Conservation Youth Corps program this summer for those students living in North East Brampton and York Region. For more information about TRCA’s CYC program please contact Joanne Jeffery jjeffery@trca.on.ca
Please note that although the Peel District School Board permits students to begin collecting their 40 community service hours required to graduate starting in the month of June following graduation from grade 8, CVC’s Conservation Youth Corps requires that applicants must have already completed grade 9. Alternatively, CVC does offer opportunities for people of all ages to participate in volunteer workdays. If you would like to participate in a stewardship project please visit our Events Calendar (http://www.creditvalleyca.ca/about-cvc/events-calendar/) and get involved!
