Youth Chat: YMCA Summer Work Student Exchange Program

Thursday, May 9, 2024 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Join us in person at ISGW to learn about the YMCA Summer Work Student Exchange (SWSE) Program.

Guest speaker: Nick Firth, local SWSE program coordinator

The program offers youth (who will be 16 or 17 this summer):

  • The opportunity to live and work in a French-speaking community in Québec for 6 weeks
  • Paid, full-time summer employment in the non-profit sector (camps, child care, museums, etc.)
  • A reciprocal homestay – youth are hosted in each other’s homes to deepen the cultural exchange
  • The support of local YMCA staff such as Nick, who also coordinate weekly group activities
  • New relationships and friendships that continue beyond the duration of the program
