Desjardins has a long history of supporting local youth. This is why Caisse de Gatineau is pleased to join the concerted effort being made across Desjardins toward youth outreach.
In an effort to teach children the importance of budgeting and good credit habits, the caisse offers the School Caisse program to local schools. The program provides students with an easy and systematic way to save money. Students who make at least 7 deposits to their School Caisse account during the reference year receive a $10 youth dividend.
