“These exchanges help create lifelong connections with people halfway across the country, and help our students understand and appreciate the cultural differences that can exist in Canada” -Earl Marriott Secondary
Each year, over 1,500 Canadian youth participate in exchanges across Canada. A unique aspect of our program is the freedom each group has to tailor their programming to the age and interests of the youth involved, allowing for a customized and purposeful program that fits with your group’s goals. YEC’s participants showcase their community to other similar aged youth through their program plan and have the opportunity to travel to another part of Canada, experiencing different aspects of Canadian culture and diversity.
