**Nature and scope**
The YMCA Summer Work Student Exchange is a national exchange program coordinated by the YMCA and funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage.

The youth also participate in weekly program activities organized by the Local Coordinator in their new community.
Local Coordinators provide leadership and bring the exchange to life in their local community. First, they will widely promote the program to youth and community organizations in order to recruit young people to participate, while also securing host and job placements for them (March-April). They also interview, select and prepare the outbound youth participants for this experience (May-June). Finally, they plan and deliver a full program of activities during the exchange, and support the inbound youth participants by helping them navigate change and address conflicts as they arise (July-August). Local Coordinators will be positive adult mentors for the youth with an interest in fostering strong relationships and opportunities for learning.

- Supports participants’ travel, by either: chaperoning participants to their host or home communities, at the start and end of the program; or providing logístical support at departure points (train station, airport).
- Writes a comprehensive report at the end of the summer summarizing the program’s results.
- Fulfills administrative tasks (e.g. documentation, expense claims) in a timely and efficient manner.
