Every year, about 1,300 young people participate in our programs. This year, Canada World Youth will coordinate 85 programs in 22 countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and Latin America.
CORE PROGRAM
Our Core Program is aimed at young people aged 17 to 24. Groups of 18 young people from different cultures live with host families and work together on volunteer projects for a total of six months—three in a Canadian community and three in a community in one of our partner countries.
Participants have an opportunity to enjoy a fulfilling international experience, discover other cultures, acquire useful skills for their future, gain a better understanding of global issues, and contribute to the well-being of their community.
