The Winnipeg Foundation’s Summer Internship Program (SIP), established in 2005, matches high school students who have participated in YiP with meaningful, 8-week paid summer jobs at local charitable organizations. The program is designed to introduce interns to the work of non-profit organizations and the challenges and rewards of working in the sector. Working closely with a mentor, interns learn about all aspects of operations for a charity. In turn, host agencies gain staff capacity to carry out projects they might not be able to undertake otherwise.

Past host agencies:

• Health Sciences Centre Foundation
• Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba
• Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art
• Newcomer Employment and Education Development Services
• Nor’West Co-op Community Health Centre
• Reaching E-Quality Employment Services
• Resource Conservation Manitoba
• Special Olympics Manitoba
• The Manitoba Children’s Museum
• The Rainbow Society
• Urban Circle Training Centre
• Zoological Society of Manitoba
