Dear friends,

I am thrilled to contact you regarding a unique international opportunity for Canadian Aboriginal young people (ages 18-35). VIDEA is currently offering ten International Aboriginal Youth Internships beginning in July/August 2016. The internships are part of the Global Affairs Canada-funded, International Youth Internship Programme (IAYI). Interns will spend one month in Canada preparing and reintegrating, and four months working overseas in either Uganda or Zambia, developing a deeper understanding of global issues as well as gaining valuable education and career-related skills.

Learn more about the impact internships like these have in this video made by one of VIDEA’s 2015 Aboriginal... interns: http://www.danyainuganda.com/

The following internships are available in Uganda:

· Agriculture Outreach Worker

· Craft Outreach Worker

· Children's Care Home Recreation Assistant

The following internships are available in Zambia:

We hope that you will pass along information regarding these internships to any young people you may know who could benefit from an international work placement as well as offering assistance and support throughout the application process.

You can also access the documents as well as some additional information on our website here http://videa.ca/get-involved/opportunities/ Applications are due Wednesday, April 20th. However, applications received before the deadline will receive priority consideration so please apply early when possible.
