INTERN BENEFITS
Interns are valued members of the MSF Canada community. They are provided experience, tools, coaching and mentoring, and an end-of-contract reference, if desired. In exchange, MSF Canada benefits from the fresh input, unique lived experience, support, and the devoted work ethic that our interns bring to the table.
All interns are paid $21.83/hour and receive pro-rated benefits that include flexible work hours, employee assistance program (EAP), vacation days, sick days, floater days, and a positive and innovative office culture grounded in our core values of humanity, integrity, and results.
Positions are full-time (37.5 hours/week), Monday – Friday, with a duration of up to a maximum of 6 months. We have a 40% hybrid work model, which translates to a minimum of 2 days per week in office, and up to 3 days per week of work from home.
