SalvAide participates in CIDA’s International Youth Internship Program. This is a program under the YES (Youth Employment Strategy) which enables SalvAide to hire a Canadian post-secondary graduate intern under 30 years of age to send abroad to work with CORDES and CRIPDES, our partner organizations in El Salvador. For a portion of their internship the interns also work in Canada with the Ottawa SalvAide office.

Details about the program can be found on the CIDA website.

Please note that we are anticipating possible new internships in the spring on 2012. Please stay tuned for more information.
