Youth Programs

Since 1997, the Coady International Institute's Youth In Partnership Program has given recent Canadian university graduates experience working with development organizations in their area of expertise, to help them increase their understanding of development issues and participate in their roles as global citizens. The program is also aimed at providing experience that will improve participants' employment opportunities when they return from their internship.  more

The Coady International Institute has been able to provide overseas internship opportunities for St. FX students through the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada – Students for Development (AUCC-SFD) Program since 2005. The program seeks to support senior level university students (third and fourth year undergraduates as well as graduate students) in gaining an understanding of international development.  more

Interested in hearing the experiences of past youth associates?

As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, we asked past YIP and AUCC Associates to share with us the impact that their internship experience had on them in 50 seconds.  To hear their stories please visit our Coady Youth in 50 site at  http://www.coady.stfx.ca/youth/vid/.
