News Release
CWY

Do know a young person between 17 and 24 who would appreciate a unique educational experience? Get them to enrol in the Canada World Youth (CWY) program! Candidates who apply before January 15, 2008 will be given priority for programs starting in summer 2008!
With CWY, groups of 18 young people from various cultures set off together for six months: three months in a Canadian community, and three months in a community in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe or Latin America.
Our team, made up of enthusiastic, highly qualified professionals, offers safe and innovative programs. Since 1971, over 30,000 young people from Canada and foreign countries have taken part in CWY programs in 67 countries.
This formative experience is not a gap year: it is an educational program that complements studies. In some cases, Canada World Youth can even enable participants to earn study credits.

Our program gives participants an opportunity to:

Discover other cultures and other languages
Develop qualities that employers look for, helping them enter the labour market: leadership, teamwork, adaptability
Become a committed global citizen, ready for the future
Canada World Youth is for young men and women from all cultural backgrounds, all regions of Canada and all walks of life! Candidates must be:

Between 17 and 24;
A Canadian citizen or landed immigrant;
In good health;
Motivated, open-minded, and flexible!
