Canada Programs LIVGREEN: Professional Development Opportunity About LIVGREEN The LIVGREEN project will provide environmental knowledge, service-learning, and leadership opportunities for young Canadians – particularly Indigenous, BPOC, 2SLGBTQ+ youth, and those from other underserved communities. Our ultimate goal is to increase their capacity to lead community change and sustainable solutions targeting climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and environmental inequity. Our main objectives are to provide youth with a holistic environmental education approach linked to the major environmental crises, engage youth in community-based actions targeting the major environmental crises, engage educators in professional development that integrates environmental education into their practices, and prioritize project engagement amongst underserved youth across Canada. Professional Development Through strong, reciprocal relationships with Indigenous partner organizations, we will tailor professional development training materials that support the sharing of regionally-relevant Indigenous perspectives on environmental stewardship, and educate about intersectional barriers that can discourage underserved youth from engaging in environmental education and action. The pilot program is running from September 2025 to May 2026, with in-person and online training sessions.
