The United Nations Association in Canada is building on 20+ years of success through its Green Spaces programme, designed to provide Canadian youth with 4-month experiential learning opportunities in the green economy.
Green Spaces (GS) places youth with barriers to employment in positions that provide professional development training and will elevate their knowledge, passion, and experience of working in the green economy. GS participants will undertake 8 to 16-week work-integrated learning placements with organisations in a variety of sectors across Canada.
"Green Spaces has provided the resources necessary for my placement to be successful,
it was integral to the quality of my experience."
– Denise, Green Spaces Participant hosted by the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, Vancouver, British Columbia
