Capilano College in Vancouver, British Columbia recently signed an agreement with Canada World Youth (CWY), indicating that people who have participated in the CWY program and who would like to register in the college’s “Global Stewardship” program will receive three credits for their CWY experience.

“This agreement with Capilano College is a testimony to the educational value of Canada World Youth’s international programs,” the president of CWY, Matthew Pearce, points out. “In fact, as part of our organization’s strategic orientation for the coming years, we will continue to seek out opportunities for people to receive academic credit for their participation in Canada World Youth.”

The agreement applies to all past participants (regardless of their province of origin) who have completed Canada World Youth and are interested in enrolling in the Global Stewardship program—a two-year program designed for students who are interested in pursuing international careers with non-governmental organizations.

The deadline for application for the Fall 2005 semester was April 15, but late applications will be accepted until May 15, 2005 if spaces are still available.
