Brief Description:
Looking to start your career or explore new opportunities? The International Youth Internship Program (IYIP) helps young Canadians develop valuable skills through hands-on experience in international development and community work.
With the support of Global Affairs Canada, IYIP is designed for youth ages 18.00 to 30.00 who are Indigenous, racialized, living with disabilities, or 2SLGBTQIA+ — especially those facing barriers to employment.
Through a four- to six-month internship, participants gain practical skills, global connections, and leadership experience with partner organizations in Africa and South America. This program is a collaboration between the YMCA of Greater Toronto, YMCA Cali, YMCA Bogota, YMCA Colombia (located in Bogota), YMCA Togo, YMCA Ghana, and YMCA Sierra Leone.
