SWAP Working Holidays

✈️ NEW country alert, scholarship opportunity, and a chance to get paid?!

We’ve just launched an epic new program in South Korea 🇰🇷—think K-pop, kimchi, and unforgettable adventures. Plus, we’re calling on Canadians to help shape the future of work & travel with our Youth Advisory Panel (aka YAP).

But wait... there's more.

Say hello to the **Youth Access Scholarship Fund** 💸🌍
We’re giving out **25 grants of \$1,000 CAD** to help young Canadians (18–35) start their SWAP adventure in epic places like Ireland, Japan, or Australia. If you’re from a lower-income or underrepresented community and dreaming of living abroad, this is for you.

👀 If any of these opportunities catch your eye, SWAP is for you. Slide into our DMs to learn more!
