Youth Employment in Natural Resources

If you have ever camped in a Provincial Park, spent time fishing with a friend, admired a forest landscape in autumn or watched ducks fly overhead, you have experienced what makes Ontario a great place to live.

Now, what if we told you that Ontario 's natural environment needs your help and you can make a difference! Come join the Ministry of Natural Resources and help protect our forests, wetlands, fish, wildlife and natural spaces for future generations.

Our youth employment programs can give you so much more than just a paycheck. They provide valuable on-the-job training, learning and work experience to help you break the "no experience, no job" cycle. It is an opportunity to learn about the Ontario Public Service, meet new people and give you a feeling that you made a difference by contributing to the environment.
