Internships
Coady Institute and various partners within and outside the university work collaboratively to offer StFX hands on learning opportunities.
Wallace Family Internship
Through the generous support of the Wallace Family Entrepreneurship Fund, students who have an enterprise idea and who are interested in starting a new venture, developing a new prototype, or applying innovative approaches to a particular product or service are encouraged to apply for a summer internship.
John T. Sears Internships
The John T. Sears Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility at StFX is funded by John and Adrienne Peacock, both StFX graduates. Ten per cent of funds generated from this chair go towards supporting Schwartz School students who participate in projects or programming offered through Coady. This is intended to facilitate student participation in community enterprise or community development programming within Coady. Learn more by contacting Yogesh Ghore at yghore@stfx.ca.
International Youth Internship Program
As a member of the Atlantic Council for International Cooperation (ACIC), Coady Institute has supported the International Youth Internship Program (IYIP) by facilitating connections between ACIC and partner organizations. Internship placements are typically four months, providing young Canadians with hands-on international development experience while encouraging cross-cultural learning, leadership, and civic engagement.
Pathy Foundation Fellowship
The Pathy Foundation Fellowship is an intensive, 12-month, experiential learning opportunity for graduating university students across Canada who have an idea for social change in a community they have a meaningful connection with. Fellows are provided with comprehensive training, dedicated wrap-around supports, and $50,000 in funding to make a sustainable impact in their chosen community and to support their growth as active and effective leaders and changemakers. Coady Institute is the education partner of the Pathy Foundation Fellowship, supporting delivery of curriculum content during Foundations for Community Change each year.
