About CONSERVATION CORPS NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR

CCNL was created in 1992 by the Economic Recovery Commission to increase quality employment, training & career-development opportunities for youth & community partners within the province in areas of environmental & cultural enhancement. Conservation Corps was incorporated in 1993 as a not-for-profit agency governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and has charitable status. Since 1993, it has received significant funding from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

CCNL is a provincial community based organization that works to facilitate a strong environmental ethic & create partnerships & capacity in communities across the province to address environmental & cultural issues. Since 2002, with the Climate Change Education Centre, thousands of young people in schools & youth organizations throughout the province have been made aware of the local impacts of climate change and been encouraged, and supported, to take action to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in their daily lives.
