We select and train young talents through hands-on international immersions and local courses. Participants witness first-hand the impacts of climate change and improve their technical and leadership skills working together. They also have mentorship sessions to leave our programs with a clear action plan to start or boost their careers. From days to weeks, we have offerings tailored to different needs.

After being trained by any YCL program, participants become part of the YCL Network, a community of practice with members from 20 countries, 4 continents and multiple areas of expertise. YCL alumni promote our programs in their countries and lead YCL Hubs, acting as multipliers by facilitating educational activities and implementing projects locally. They also exchange resources and team up on projects and campaigns.

Members of the YCL Network can apply to Field Placement assignments worldwide with our partner organizations, having the opportunity to increase their work experience on climate change and use the skills acquired during our trainings. They also have access to job vacancies, mentorship and Delegations to global events. We help young talents to take the first, and hardest, step towards rising climate careers.
