Youth Fellowship with Aga Khan Foundation Canada
Opportunities are available with this organization for 8 month placements in Africa and Asia. For Canadians 30 and under.
Deadline to apply was Feb. 1, 2019. However, this program has been running for 28 years suggesting there may be more positions in the future.
LINK
WUSC (World University Service of Canada)
WUSC has volunteer positions all over the world and offer short, medium, and long-term opportunities.
There are hundreds of listings, the bulk of which are with the Uniterra program. A down side is that most (but not all) of the positions require experience/ require experience in non-development fields, and there appears to be a fee/contribution charged to help cover some expenses. It is not possible to search specifically for entry level positions, so searching could take time.
On the plus, the interactive Uniterra site does allow for some filtering which can help narrow down search results.
