Amazing Opportunities
Canada World Youth offers many programs to provide students with opportunities to work in other countries in the areas of education, health, community development, agriculture and forestry, biodiversity and the environment and new media and new information technologies.
The CEMC Workshop in Computer Science for Young Women exists to encourage young women, and people of other under-represented genders,* who are considering computer science as a career for the first time. It is a unique opportunity designed to ignite enthusiasm for computer science in interested students from across Canada who have had little or no previous exposure to computer science. Attendees learn that computer science is about much more than using and programming computers.

We welcome applicants who are female or another gender identity under-represented in computer science*. Applicants must be in grade 9 and 10, have an interest in mathematics, and currently attend a Canadian high school or middle school. Participants should not have attended any similiar workshop.

There is a $150 registration fee, including applicable taxes, to be paid after invited applicants have received their confirmation package.
The application deadline for 2019 has passed.
Applications are typically accepted from mid-January to mid-February. Applicants write a short essay explaining why they would be a good candidate. They must also have a Math, Science or Computing teacher fill out an on-line reference on their behalf. We are looking for participants with an interest in mathematics but little or no previous exposure to computer science. All applications must be completed by February 25, 2019. Applicants will be notified about acceptance around Wednesday, March 21st, 2019.
We receive many applications for this workshop. We typically receive more qualified applicants than spots available, and we use lotteries to select among similarly qualified applicants. We are looking for participants with an interest in mathematics but little or no previous exposure to computer science. It is rare for two students from the same school to be selected. Applicants will be notified about acceptance in late March.

Computer science is a powerful tool, and diversity among computer scientists increases the potential for positive impact. One of the initiatives of the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing is to encourage better gender diversity in the field of computer science. See https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/wics/resources-and-information/statistics for recent statistics on gender diversity in computer science. Following the lead of University of Waterloo, CEMC recognizes those whose gender identity is neither male nor female, including gender-fluid, non-binary, agender and more. oSTEM indicates that these gender identities are under-represented in STEM fields.

The Youth Ambassadors Program with Canada is a fully-funded, 3-week exchange program to the United States, including stays in upstate New York and Washington, D.C. The goal is for students (age 15-18) to learn leadership skills and then return home and implement a community service project. We also select two adult mentors to help guide the youth throughout the program.
The Youth Ambassadors Program particularly strives to select students who have limited travel experience to the United States, are new Canadians, are from under-represented populations, or are indigenous Canadians.
