Desjardins Foundation scholarships

The Caisse supports young people in their studies by making an annual donation to Desjardins Foundation, which awards over $700,000 in student scholarships.

Board Succession program

The Board Succession program provides caisse members with an opportunity to learn more about how the board of directors works and contribute to their caisse's performance.

The board of directors selects the winning candidates, who participate in board meetings and discussions but without voting rights. It's a great opportunity to represent your community and experience cooperative values in action.
