Youth Programming
Plenty Canada has both supported the development of young people to build their capacity to contribute to society and benefited from their fresh ideas and enthusiasm to make a difference in our world.
Throughout Plenty Canada’s existence, we have had an exciting and inspiring relationship with youth.

Job Opportunities
Our summer jobs, internships and youth employment programs develop skills related to their career objectives in such fields as environmental sciences, biology, forestry, communications, teaching, and more. Students gain experience in the importance and application of Indigenous ways of knowing and related knowledge systems. Both Plenty Canada staff and some board members take a role in sharing their knowledge.
Youth are given both work assignments and external training and learning opportunities as much as possible.
Today we count many alumni who are teachers, land use planners, engineers, biologists, environmental stewardship professionals, office managers, forest professionals and more. We are proud to celebrate their achievements.
