This summer, the Co-operative Young Leaders Program is in its 47th year of growth and evolvment. It has a new look that goes along with an enhanced program.
CYL is developing a new year-round engagement program, that will involve ongoing leadership activities and accountability for participants throughout the year after they finish their summer sessions. These expectations may include various events or projects that will be about promoting and educating others about co-operatives and acting in a leadership role. Some ideas may include volunteerism, speaking at a sponsor's annual meeting, writing a blog, creating a promo video or even giving a Co-ops 101 presentation to high school students.
Registration for summer 2013 is now open. To learn more about CYL visit The Ontario Co-operative Association. See below for this year's schedule and sponsors:
- July 6-13 Junior A - Sponsored by Alterna Savings / On Co-op
- July 13-20 Junior B - Sponsored by Gay Lea Foods Co-operative Ltd.
