Youth
Desjardins has a long tradition of involvement with local youth. This is why Caisse Desjardins de La Nouvelle-Beauce is so enthusiastic about the concerted effort being made by all Desjardins components toward youth outreach.
Baby Bee program
The caisse's Baby Bee program is available to the parents of children ages 0 to 5.
It's never too early to develop good financial habits for your little one. Your Desjardins advisor will be able to tell you about our different products and services. Make an appointment today for more information.
An enhanced youth program for our young members!
In 2007, the Caisse's officers decided to create an enhanced youth program to provide more support to young people who are heading towards the job market, financial independence and all forms of success.
Today, our caisse focuses more than ever on youth to ensure that tomorrow's leaders are in good financial health. This program was reviewed and the most important elements for this clientele were kept. Many procedures were changed or improved to enhance performance and profitability and give our young members the best support throughout their financial life.
Scholarships
The Caisse Desjardins de la Nouvelle-Beauce scholarship program is exclusively for young members of the Caisse. It provides financial support to young people. The Caisse is proud to support the development of expertise and knowledge, job creation and the social involvement of our future leaders.

Youth grants
Caisse Desjardins de La Nouvelle-Beauce is there for its youth members! Since the caisse's donation and sponsorship program doesn't accept applications from individuals, the caisse instead holds a draw (during Co-op Week in October) for 2 grants of $500 among individuals who applied for financial aid during the year. The grants are awarded to young people who excel in academics, sports or in a cultural or humanitarian project.
Our young members can tell us what they're passionate about by email.
2023 winners: Congratulations to Éliana Labbé of Sainte-Marie, who's a star volleyball player, and Jeremy Labonté of Saint-Isidore, who excels in baseball. Best of luck in your future endeavours!
