Volunteer with Canada World Youth

3 months in Canada, 3 months overseas

In the Youth Leaders in Action program, a team of 9 young Canadians and 9 young people from a partner country spend 6 months together doing volunteer work:

• 3 months in a Canadian community
• 3 months in a community in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, or Latin America

Each young Canadian is matched with a participant from the exchange country for the entire period. This is a unique opportunity to become involved as a volunteer, discover other cultures, learn another language, and become a true citizen of the world!

Why Canada World Youth?

Canada World Youth is one of the few organizations in the world offering a program in two stages: one in Canada and one overseas. In addition to exploring a different part of the world, you’ll also gain a better understanding of your own country. You’ll be able to put your experiences in both regions in better perspective and learn how other young people perceive your own country. For more information visit website
