About CMY

The Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) is a not-for-profit organisation based in Victoria, providing specialist knowledge and support to young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. Our vision is that young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds are connected, empowered and influential Australians.

About the Role

CMY is seeking a young person excited to commence their career in the community sector to take on an opportunity as Youth Intern.

By providing opportunities and support to young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds, the Internship Program continues Mary’s legacy.

The Youth Intern also plays a key role in the preparation and distribution of information about opportunities to young people through various online platforms, working in collaboration with the Communications and Marketing team.

At times, the Intern will have the opportunity to support the work of other teams across the organisation, as well as attend key events and network opportunities relevant to CMY throughout the year, often as a youth representative of CMY or to speak from their perspective on youth issues.
