Clean Nova Scotia Foundation hasn't added a story.
Climate change is fundamentally altering the way that our economy works. By 2025, the most competitive and most resilient business, in any sector, will be the one that can provide the same product with lower environmental impact.*
Youth will lead the charge in the low-carbon economy, and you can help them! By donating to this campaign, you’ll be helping fund critical internships for youth in the low-carbon economy, providing a steppingstone for their career paths.
Now, more than ever, youth employment opportunities are needed. Youth employment was devastated by COVID-19 - youth under age 25 represented 37% of all jobs lost in Canada.** As we restart the economy, these youth need employment opportunities that will provide them with long-term stability. The Clean Leadership Summer Internship Program is one step on that path.
The Clean Leadership Summer Internship Program provides youth with professional development training and hands-on work experience in the Clean Economy. Youth are provided with meaningful work for the summer in 9- or 15-week internship placements across the province.
Youth also benefit from:
- Networking opportunities
- Training sessions by professionals in diverse roles
- Occupational health and safety training
- Communication support
- Career readiness training
Clean Leadership interns learn how to apply environmental stewardship across various sectors, careers, and towards their varying futures.
Last year, 67 youth from across the province, including many rural and Indigenous communities, participated in the Clean Leadership Summer Internship Program. By donating today, not only will you be supporting the employment of Nova Scotian youth, you will also be helping the many amazing environmental projects that their employers are building.
Clean Foundation works hard every day to create a healthier environment, meaningful jobs with livable wages, and a more equitable society.
Clean Foundation promotes green solutions for today – and supports the environmental leaders of tomorrow. We are a Nova Scotia-based independent, non-governmental environmental charity that began in 1988. Our passion is providing the knowledge, tools and inspiration needed to encourage the actions that lead to positive environmental change.
Clean Foundation works in the ancestral and unceded territories of the Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik.
What We Do
We support the fair transition to a cleaner economy and greener society. To achieve this, we work collaboratively with our many partners to:
- Reduce energy poverty
- Promote social equity and support historically marginalized communities
- Develop the green economy workforce
- Protect the natural environment
- Educate and promote action on climate change
But we can’t do it alone.
As a registered charity, we rely on donations from people like you, who believe in our mission and want to help. Nova Scotia has shown it can rise to many challenges, so let’s get going and meet the challenge of climate action together.
