Description      
Exchanges Canada is a Government of Canada initiative that helps Canadian youth connect with one another, experience the diversity of Canada’s communities, languages and cultures, and get involved in the future of the country. The program also gives youth, parents/guardians and teachers/organizers access to information on many exchanges and forums. Working with our delivery organizations, Exchanges Canada aims to involve exchange and forum participants from all walks of life, and we encourage young adults from underrepresented groups of youth such as Aboriginals, visible minorities and those with disabilities to apply.

Comments      
Please consult the website for details on how to apply. Eligible youth groups generally have between 10 and 30 members, and belong to a school or non-profit organization. Group members are usually between 12 and 17 years of age, and must be either Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada.
