“As a purpose-driven co-operative working towards a sustainable and inclusive future, we are a proud long-time sponsor of The Co-operative Young Leaders (CYL) program. Through this important initiative, we are fostering the next generation of leaders to embrace and thrive in a co-operative environment while making meaningful contributions to their communities. The CYL program is a special development opportunity for young talent across the co-op space in Canada.”

- Shawna Peddle, Associate VP of Citizenship at Co-operators

Sponsors

Sponsoring CYL is an investment in youth and in your co-operative.

Your support allows us to provide youth with valuable life skills, while gaining important knowledge about leadership and the their community. Our curriculum is rooted in the values and principles of co-operation, and the co-operative sector. In return, sponsors can gain the loyalty and gratitude of their young members, while having the opportunity to work with campers and facilitators throughout the year.

 

Make sponsoring CYL part of your organization's youth engagement strategy!
