The Next Gen Institute (NGI) is a Canadian nonprofit initiative focused on equipping young Canadians with the knowledge they need to understand personal finance, government finance, and civic responsibility.

NGI develops modular, curriculum-aligned educational resources that teachers can integrate directly into existing courses such as CALM, Social Studies, Civics, and Economics. Each module includes a professionally produced 5-minute educational video, a student workbook, a teacher's guide, curriculum mapping aligned to provincial standards, and assessment materials. All resources are provided free of charge to educators across Canada, beginning with a 2026 pilot launch in Alberta.

 

NGI is looking for a creative and digitally savvy Classroom Content and Social Media Intern to help bring our educational mission to life online and in the classroom. This role is a great fit for someone studying to become a teacher, currently working in education, or simply passionate about both social media and helping young people learn.
