For Youth

Here at Green Venture, we aim to support the eco-journeys of local youth. Our Child and Youth Programs offer an abundance of opportunities for high school students looking to get involved in their communities, young professionals seeking to develop professional skills, budding environmentalists exploring how they can take climate action, and opportunities to get outside. Join us! 

The Education Team at Green Venture is excited to announce our spring session of our Youth Stewardship & Professional Skills Program (YSP)! Through the YSP Program, Hamilton high school students develop transferable professional skills, earn volunteer hours, and gain knowledge of environmental issues. Guest speakers in the environmental field share their expertise. As part of this program, we offer mentorship and mini-grants for students to develop hands-on action projects that address the chosen environmental issue, directly benefiting their local communities and the planet. Participants collaborate to design and implement these projects, putting their new environmental knowledge and professional skills into practice and making a meaningful difference in their communities.
