Based in the traditional and unceded territories of the Sinixt, Ktunaxa, and Syilx peoples, Jocelyn (she/her) has been involved in Youth Climate Corps BC since 2021. Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Jocelyn’s first ‘real’ job as a teenager was launching the eastern branch of a national youth environmental organization, and she’s excited to see this come full circle with Youth Climate Corps BC.
