The YMCA Summer Work Student Exchange is a national exchange program coordinated by the YMCA and funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage. For six weeks over the summer, 16- and 17-yearold Canadian youth travel to another province where they stay with a local host, hold a paid job, practice their second official language and participate in weekly program activities.
Local Coordinators (LCs) act as the primary connection between youth and community members and the SWSE program. This includes the pre-program period where Local Coordinators promote the program to youth and community groups, conduct the interview and selection process for participants and prepare youth and families for the program. Once the exchange starts, Local Coordinators act as adult mentors, delivering a full program of activities
and support youth in navigating their new environments.
