iGo Providers

• iGo internships are sourced through YMCA national associations or local movements, as well as through YMI affiliated club members who own or operate business enterprises.
• A YMCA with an associated Y’s Men club is a preferential provider. Where possible interns shall interact and participate in the activities of a local YMI affiliated club.
• Any YMCA or YMI affiliated club member prepared to offer a valuable learning experience in an equitable and positive work setting may ask to join the programme.
• While remuneration of the intern is not expected, ideally indirect support will be provided in terms of subsidised (or partially subsidised) food and lodging.
• Where possible, a home stay arrangement should be considered. Where lodging with a Y’s Men or YMCA family is not an option, an arrangement with a YMCA hotel or hostel is a second-best option. An intern shall also be given the option to make their own housing arrangements.
• While internship parameters are flexible, conditions should provide sufficient free time for casual cultural exchange, exploration and leisure.
• The administration of the application process will be handled primarily by an assigned YMI Committee which will include volunteer members with YMCA affiliations.
• The internship provider will be involved in the final selection of the candidate and programme coordination with the selected participant.
