Frequently asked questions

Can high school students really get internships?

Yes. Government youth programs, hospitals, museums, libraries, and community organizations across the GTA run internships and summer placements designed for high school students. Roles that welcome high schoolers are ranked first on this page.

Are these internships paid?

Some are. Government summer programs and co-op placements often pay; community and non-profit internships may be unpaid but provide experience, references, and sometimes volunteer hours. Salary is shown on the listing whenever the organization shares it.

When should I apply?

Summer internships usually open applications between January and April, and school-year co-ops are arranged through your guidance office a term ahead. Applying early matters — popular youth programs fill quickly.

Do I need experience to apply?

No. Programs aimed at high school students expect you to be a beginner. Volunteer work, school clubs, and a short note about why you're interested are usually enough to make a strong application.
