Participants must be young Canadians between 11 and 17 years of age and be Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada. Participants will be students, members of community youth organizations or youth interest groups. Group size will vary between 10 to 30 from each of the two exchange groups. Special consideration will be given to increasing participation of under-represented groups in youth exchanges. Applications can be submitted by coaches, managers or parents and are sent to minor sports and school group representatives across Canada.
