The Indigenous Youth Internship Program is seeking Expressions of Interest from BC Indigenous Organizations that can provide supportive, educational, and meaningful work placements for Indigenous Youth Interns for a three-month period (June 1, 2021 – August 31, 2021). The Intern’s salary is paid by the provincial government during their work placement in the selected BC Indigenous Organizations.
Indigenous Youth Interns have a wide variety of skills and abilities to offer Indigenous Organizations, including:
-youth engagement practices,
-project management,
-research,
-conference and event coordination,
-policy analysis and development,
-strategic planning,
-communications,
-website and manual development,
-community liaison, and
-other specific skill sets based on education and experience.

Interns are seeking structured placements that offer interesting opportunities to assist, learn, and grow as emerging professionals and leaders.
