Recruit some of the most talented, ambitious, and impact-driven young people in Canada.

Key Details: The internship dates are May 5 to August 8, 2025 (14 weeks). Partners can be matched with up to four Analysts.

Analyst Commitment: Analysts work 35 hours/week. They spend 28 hours per week (80%) with your organization and the remaining 7 hours per week (20%) on training, programming, and national projects managed by Propel Impact.

Analyst Backgrounds: Most Analysts will be recruited from our pool of trained Propel Impact Fellows, who have completed at least 10 months of training in Propel's Impact Investing and Impact Consulting Fellowships. As post-secondary students or young people in the early stages of their careers, they come with a range of skills ranging from due diligence to sectoral research, and all are familiar with the Canadian social innovation & social finance sector. External candidates will be recruited as needed.

Recruitment Support that Saves You Time: Our Propel Impact team drafts your job descriptions, manages written and video application submissions, and coordinates the interview process, saving your team dozens of hours. You will have access to our anti-biased recruitment resources when interviewing candidates. Organizations make the final decision on which candidates receive an offer.

Internship Program Management: Propel Impact convenes all Analysts on a weekly basis for cohort-wide team meetings, a speaker series, and mentorship opportunities. We focus on delivering an exceptional experience for Analysts so you can prioritize getting them involved in your pressing work. In addition, all Analysts are put on Propel's payroll to save you admin time.
