Global Affairs Canada: Volunteering and Internships abroad - Volontariat et stages à l'étranger

Canada has a proud tradition of supporting internships and volunteer opportunities in international development. The world needs pioneers who can think creatively about development challenges.

The International Youth Internship Program and International Aboriginal Youth Internships initiative offer unique opportunities for Canadian youth to acquire employment skills, gain valuable international experience and engage as global citizens.

The Volunteer Cooperation Program offers skilled Canadians of all ages the opportunity to share their expertise abroad and help fulfill development needs of local communities.

These three programs are delivered by Global Affairs Canada in collaboration with Canadian civil society organizations that support international development, an important element of Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy.

Le Canada a toujours été fier d’appuyer des occasions de stage et de coopération volontaire dans le domaine du développement international. Le monde a besoin de pionniers capables de relever de manière créative les défis du développement.

Le Programme de stages internationaux pour les jeunes et l'initiative de Stages internationaux pour les jeunes Autochtones offrent aux jeunes Canadiens des occasions uniques d'acquérir des compétences professionnelles et une expérience significative à l’internationale, ainsi que de s'engager en tant que citoyens du monde.

Le Programme de coopération volontaire offre aux Canadiens qualifiés de tout âge l'occasion de partager leur expertise à l'étranger et de répondre aux besoins de développement de collectivités locales. Ces trois programmes sont mis en œuvre par Affaires mondiales Canada en collaboration avec des organisations canadiennes de la société civile qui œuvrent dans le domaine du développement international, un élément important de la Politique d’aide internationale féministe du Canada.
