YMCA Youth Exchanges Canada promotes cross-cultural awareness; a sense of belonging among Canadian youth aged 13 to 17 and encourages student empowerment through joint projects. Participants are twinned with same-age groups from another province or territory and take turns staying in each other's communities, where they learn new skills, develop a stronger sense of community, and get a chance to experience Canada's diversity firsthand.
