<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I have read through a couple of the other replies and they’re useful. I did pick up on the fact your organization is volunteer run., this is where you may run into issues. Be sure to read the eligibility
requirements for both Canada Summer Jobs and Young Canada Works carefully. They may have updated their eligibility, but I do know in previous application periods the organization must have a paid staff member in a supervisory role to qualify.
