Canada World Youth

:"“CWY” redirects here. You may have been looking for the Cherokee language, written in Cherokee "ᏣᎳᎩ"."Canada World Youth (Jeunesse Canada Monde) is a Canadian Non-governmental organization dedicated to developing engaged citizens through informal education and international exchanges among youth. CWY arranges for young Canadians to be paired with young people from "developing" countries. Groups of about ten such pairs then live and work together under the supervision of a pair of group leaders, one from each country, in a Canadian community for about three months and then do the same thing in the home country of the non-Canadian participants. The participants perform some kind of community work in each country and in each country put on a performance representative of the culture of the other country.

Canada World Youth was founded by retired senator Jacques Hébert. It is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, with regional offices in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax. Its main source of funding is from the Canadian International Development Agency.
