Canada is a country of leaders, innovators, and creators – known for embracing their role as citizens of the world. The International Youth Fellowship is one of Aga Khan Foundation Canada’s wide range of opportunities for people from Canada to exercise and express their global citizenship. Through these opportunities, AKFC creates platforms to learn about development contexts and challenges and to partner with local institutions to jointly change people’s lives for the better.

AKFC is searching for individuals who can demonstrate a commitment to international development, are driven by the desire to make a meaningful change in the world, and are ready to apply their skills and experience to a challenging overseas internship.

The Fellowship is a launching pad for diverse careers in the government, non-profit, media, and finance sectors. It offers a training program and an eight-month overseas placement to recent university graduates and young professionals under 30

Since 1989, more than 500 individuals have participated in AKFC’s International Youth Fellowship Program <
