EYA: Connecting youth with nature

About
Founded in 1989, EYA engages youth from equity-deserving communities to become environmental stewards. We provide free, land-based environmental education and paid employment training programs engaging youth in hands-on projects to restore wildlife habitat and improve access to nature in Vancouver’s urban eastside communities. EYA programs braid Western ecology and Indigenous knowledge through visits from Elders and Knowledge Keepers from a diversity of Indigenous communities. We serve youth ages 14-25 who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, racialized immigrants, in foster care, living with a disability, on income support, and/or targeted by other systemic barriers.
