Youth Serves Manitoba engages post-secondary students in meaningful, part-time community service with incorporated non-profit organizations or registered charities. Students will receive a $500 bursary upon successful completion of 100 hours of community service that can go towards books, tuition or student loans. Students who complete the first 100 hours become eligible to apply for a 2nd bursary.

Part-time STEP provides students with part-time employment opportunities with provincial government departments and related agencies. Work hours are flexible during regular business hours to allow students to meet study demands and work during school breaks. Students registered with STEP will be considered for job referrals.

Manitoba Mentorships provides employers who are able to provide an average of 8 to 16 hours per week of part-time career-related employment experiences during the school term with wage incentives for up to 200 hours of employment. Participating students have the opportunity to explore career possibilities and may establish contacts leading to permanent employment following graduation.
