The Summer Work - Student Exchange Program is a non-profit organization that gives 16 and 17 year old students in English-speaking communities the chance to trade homes with a student from a French-speaking community (within Canada) in the summer with a full-time summer job.  Students live with each other's families and all expenses, including transportation and weekend activities, are covered by the program.  We are funded by Canadian Heritage through Exchanges Canada.  For more information about our program call Stephanie Nairn toll Free at 1-866-361-1583.

The Official Languages Programs.

        Explore (Formerly Summer Lnguage Bursary Program, see below) offers five weeks of classes, activities, encounters, and experience in the students’ second language and in a new
        region of the country, so that both fluency in and appreciation of the use of the language within its relevant culture can expand. Explore is open for both French and English second
        language learners.

       Note - Destination Clic provides five weeks (or three weeks for 14- and 15-year-olds) of new opportunities to learn, to meet new people, to explore another region of Canada, and to become
       more fluent in French as a first language. Destination Clic is for French first-language students who live outside Quebec.
