International Youth Internship Program (IYIP) – Canadian National Institute of the Blind

The International Youth Internship Program (IYIP) offers Canadian youth the opportunity to gain professional experience abroad in the field of international development; and to acquire skills that will prepare them for future employment or further their studies. Founded in 1918, the CNIB Foundation is a non-profit organization driven to change what it is to be blind today. We deliver innovative programs and powerful advocacy that empower people impacted by blindness to live their dreams and tear down barriers to inclusion. Our work as a blind foundation is powered by a network of volunteers, donors and partners from coast to coast to coast.
