Youth Opportunities

Over the past 85 years, we have collaborated with many amazing Canadian organizations that also offer great opportunities for youth development. Here you will find links to employment opportunities, awards and contests, extracurricular activities or youth events. We want to support youth and alumni in their growth as much as possible.

This page is updated regularly so make sure to bookmark it and check it more than once! 

If you have a youth opportunity that you believe could be of value to our community, please email communications@experiencescanada.ca.
