PLT Canada continues to work to provide a lifetime of learning through environmental education, forest literacy, and career pathways.

We are tremendously proud to have supported 7,600+ Green Jobs since 2018, providing 50% of placements to women and 15% of our placements to Indigenous youth. Since 2018, PLT Canada has placed 1,900 young adults facing one or more barriers to employment, such as youth self-identifying as involuntary NEET (not in employment, education, or training), youth living with a disability, and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, into Green Jobs.

We have also delivered 11 mentorship cohorts with 600+ participants and developed many environmental education products in 2023, like the Explore Your Environment: K-8 Activity Guide and Forest Quest.

Thank you to the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment Skills Strategy for financial support that meaningfully impacts young Canadians and young adults facing barriers.
