http://www.cwy-jcm.org/ Canada World Youth, a non-profit organization for youth 17-25 interested in volunteering in a developing country. 3-4 months is spent in a Canadian community learning about the specific region they will be visiting, and then spend the rest of the year in their designated country, volunteering and learning about local and international development and gaining essential job skills for the future.
http://jexplore.ca/
Bursaries from the Federal government make this program extremely popular with youth ages 16-25 from all over Canada. Usually a 5-week program in the summer, students stay on university and college campuses in a francophone region (may I recommend Quebec or New Brunswick?!). They may homestay or stay in residences, and attend morning classes and afternoon excursions. Evening activities are organized as well – dances, sing-alongs, movie nights, festivals, and more! I have only heard 5-star ratings from my students as well as from my amazing experience back in 1998 when I went to Chicoutimi. HIGHLY recommended!
