Common Questions

Yes, the summer internship project experience program is open to all students.

University students, high school students, and even the occasional middle school prodigy work on internship projects for real companies.

This is incredibly flexible. You’re not bound to an office or set hours, it’s a fully remote and flex-hour internship.

Since this is a 1:1 program, you and your coach will craft a plan and schedule that works around your commitments.

Coaching sessions are done virtually and 1:1 at times that are convenient to you. You will book calls with your coach via the Youthfully coaching platform.

You and your coach will choose how often the sessions take place, which depends on your needs, goals, schedule, etc., as well as the program you’re working on.

Flexibility is a priority. Some students have calls in evenings, weekends, or whenever fits their schedule.

Yes. You are working 1-on-1 with your coach, 100% of the time.

There are no group classes or divided attention. You have exclusive access to a world-class youth coach, ready to go the extra mile.

Simply book an intake call.

Please note: we have limited spots in each program and students are admitted in the order in which applications are received.

Traditional internships require 40 hours per week of work, usually on mundane and menial tasks, and lack proper mentorship.

Our program flips the typical internship model on its head by offering flexibility in terms of time commitment. You won’t be expected to work a minimum number of hours a week, allowing you to balance your internship with other commitments.

Second, the projects you’ll work on are not the kind that organizations would typically hire students for. Through our expansive network of partnership organizations, you’ll have the opportunity to choose a real-world internship project. Despite your age or experience, you’ll be able to contribute to and tackle genuine organizational challenges.

Third, you’re paired with a Youthfully coach who will help you make the project successful, including your interactions and end-of-program presentation to a C-level executive at the partner organization.

Unfortunately, no. We have partnered with select schools, so this program is covered in the cost of their tuition for students; but for everyone else, this is a paid program.

It will, however, give you an incredible return on your investment.

The projects we’ve sourced from organizational partners boost your résumé and improve your future earning potential far beyond the cost of the program.

In addition, students receive 1:1 coaching on the project from a paid professional Youthfully coach, and build sought-after skills through first-hand experience.

"I am very happy with my experience with Youthfully. I obtained an internship in private equity, working directly under the CEO to work on due diligence analysis for company acquisitions. This is extremely rare experience for a high school student.

It not only helped reassure me that my decision to pursue business is a good one, it helped me get my career launched at a very early age."

"Youthfully offered me an internship project with a leading university research centre, where my challenge is to design an experiment to evaluate the mitochondrial impact of coffee consumption.

My Youthfully coach is a scientist, so she has been guiding me through the process while still allowing me to feel empowered and in control.

It's been worth every investment and I'd recommend anyone using it as a springboard for their career and receive quality mentorship that isn't as available at school.

"Working with Joel, I launched a non-profit wheelchair tennis program, called Aces on Wheels. I also became a finalist in the TD Community Leadership scholarship and was a winner of a RBC Scholarship, valued at $2,500.

I now attend the Queen's Commerce program and obtained an internship after first year with Cisco Systems. Joel has shown me the results of passion combined with work. I now do what I love while striving the make a difference in the world."
