Apply to become a CC-IUCN Youth Ambassador and join us in Hawai'i for the World Conservation Congress!

CC-IUCN is looking for two youth volunteers (18-30 years old) to become the 2016-2017 CC-IUCN Youth Ambassadors. The successful Youth Ambassadors will work with the committee to connect youth to nature before, during and after the IUCN World Conservation Congress (WCC) through online engagement, and connecting and working with other Canadian and international organizations and events. The CC-IUCN will provide up to $2500 in funding for each chosen Youth Ambassador to register and attend the WCC. 

This is a volunteer position and will require a commitment of approximately 10 hours a month for a one-year term (with an increased commitment level expected directly before, during and after the WCC).

About the World Conservation Congress:

Held once every four years, the IUCN World Conservation Congress brings together thousands of leaders and decision-makers from government, civil society, Indigenous Peoples, youth, business, and academia, with the goal of conserving the environment and harnessing the solutions nature offers to global challenges.

The Congress aims to improve how we manage our natural environment for human, social and economic development, but this cannot be achieved by conservationists alone. The IUCN Congress is the place to put aside differences and work together to create good environmental governance, engaging all parts of society to share both the responsibilities and the benefits of conservation.

The next WCC will take place September 1-10, 2016.
