TThe YWCA Vancouver has successfully launched the Youth Eco Internship Program (YEIP), which comes on the heels of the government's redefined agenda to promote labour skills and an eco-savvy generation next.

Through this innovative scheme, funded by Canada's Economic Action Plan, the YWCA Vancouver will be placing 90 young, diverse, unemployed Canadians aged 15-30 on paid 3, 6 or 9 month internships. Intern and host recruitment has just commenced for young people, as well as for environmental, community and women-serving organizations, however, priority will be given to internships having an environmental focus.

If you are a youth or an interested organization, please visit our website (www.yeip.ca) to review the eligibility criteria and to complete an online application.

For any questions and inquiries from youth or organizations located in BC, AB, SK, MB, YT or NT, contact the Manager, Theresa James, by email: tjames [at] ywcavan [dot] org, or telephone: 604 895 5859 | 877 VAN YWCA (826 9922).
