Youth for Ecological Action (YEA) is a leadership program that creates positive change for youth, their communities and the natural environment. During the program, youth develop new skills and knowledge through active participation in environmental educational activities and urban agricultural projects. YEA strives to create and connect participants to new experiences that challenge their perspectives locally and globally, increase awareness and knowledge of solutions to environmental problems, and seeks to instill a sense of caring and responsibility for the earth. In 2009, 194 youth participated in YEA which included plotting, planting and maintaining 6 community gardens. The YEA program is funded by Heifer International and Manitoba Environmental Youth Corps.
