About the Program

The YMCA Summer Work Student Exchange (SWSE) program is a national exchange program for 16 and 17 year olds living in Canada.
What makes this program special is that youth travel to a community in Canada where they live and work in their second language.
They are provided meaningful and paid employment in public sector or non-profit jobs. Their summer employment experience gives youth a chance to contribute and make an impact in communities across the country.
