About the Co-operative Youth Leadership Program

The Youth Leadership Program is Inspiring 7-Day Summer Camp that helps youth find their place in the world. Since 1957, The ACCA Youth Program descends On Nordegg In July to transform the lives of 200+ youth aged 11-18. Youth learn co-operative values of teamwork, and develop their own skills and interests in what has been described as a life-changing week that sets participants up to be the co-operative leaders of tomorrow.

About Our Volunteers

Volunteers are typically employees of co-operatives, credit unions, other youth and agricultural organizations as well as program alumni. In addition to their own qualifications and skills, all volunteer staff must complete a screening process including a criminal record check, attain First Aid and CPR certification, and complete a minimum 48 hour on-site staff training before they are approved to staff at the program.

We strive to find the most enthusiastic individuals to staff at our programs, and we are so lucky that they don’t mind putting in long hours to make the week an incredible experience.

The program is renowned for the commitment, enthusiasm and expertise of our volunteers! If you want to volunteer with the program, visit our volunteer page or get in touch with our Youth Program Coordinator, Liane by emailing her at lcourchesne@acca.coop.
