Internships

YACWA has a strategic partnership with the McCusker Centre for Citizenship UWA, which arranges structured internship placements for UWA students with relevant organisations. UWA students seeking placements with YACWA or other organisations in the youth sector are encouraged to read about McCusker student stories and contact the McCusker Centre for Citizenship directly via internships@mccuskercentre.uwa.edu.au for more information.

YACWA does not engage in direct service delivery or client-facing work. If you are seeking a placement that requires direct engagement with young people in a client-focused capacity, we recommend exploring the WA Youth Services Directory for organisations better suited to your placement needs.
