Youth

Youth services

Investing in local youth is nothing new for the caisse, which is why we are an enthusiastic partner in coordinated Desjardins-wide initiatives for young people.

School Caisse program

The caisse actively supports the School Caisse education program in a number of local elementary schools to help young people learn to be good savers early on. We visit classrooms at the start of the school year to get students thinking about saving money. We also hold a contest to motivate them to adopt smart financial habits that will pay off later in life.

Learn more about the School Caisse program.

Youth Dividend

The caisse wants to encourage—and even reward—its young members who save money, which is why several hundred receive a youth dividend through the Community Development Fund.

Services available to youth ages 12–17

The caisse in your classroom

Caisse representatives can come to your high school classroom to talk about savings, credit pitfalls, budgeting and more. We want to encourage young people to make wise financial decisions, give them the tools they need and teach them good spending habits.
