NEW FOR 2024:

Participants in the Virtual CYC program will gain access to our new CYC Virtual Hub: an exclusive online classroom that provides multiple opportunities for high school students to earn over 20 community service hours, both at home and in your neighbourhood!

The CYC virtual program consists of:

  • A mandatory virtual orientation session
  • Three self-paced modules, linked to themes of biodiversity, invasive species, and microplastics
  • Fun and interesting extra credit assignments
  • Additional opportunities to get outside and support stewardship projects
  • And even more ways to get involved!

Participants will have the freedom to customize their experience in the program, earning as few or as many community service hours as they like!
