We know first hand, how work in nature conservation has been gatekept from our community. The intersection between racial justice and nature conservation is very real but so often swept under the rug. That is why Nature Canada has launched the Work to Grow program, which is creating jobs in nature-related fields just for BIPOC youth!<\/p>\n

What is the Work to Grow Program?<\/h2>\n

The Work to Grow program aims to create jobs in nature conservation and appreciation, with a focus on breaking barriers to employment facing racialized youth in nature-related fields. At Nature Canada, we acknowledge that BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) communities are often the first to experience the effects of the destruction of our natural environment, yet are disproportionately underrepresented in nature organization and conservation. That is why we have created this unique employment program designed specifically for racialized youth, so that they can lead the way towards climate justice and are at the forefront of positive change.<\/p>\n

Protecting nature is a racial justice issue. Equity and anti-racism are crucial to protecting nature. We aim to create a world where people and nature thrive and we must all do our part to push for lasting change.<\/p>\n
