The YMCA Summer Work Student Exchange is a six-week national summer program for youth ages 16 and 17. Many of the youth who participate in our program are equity-seeking, therefore we are determined to have the program run. The exchange is happening in St. John’s from July 2 to Aug. 13. Supported through the Department of Canadian Heritage, the program is a long-running success and includes the participation of more than 650 young people from across the country. Participating youth can improve their second official language skills and gain important employment experience through a work placement while on an exchange. Those who may have an interest in hosting are asked to go to www.summer-work.com and apply now.
