The Alberta Community and Cooperative Association is proud to strengthen Alberta communities by providing leadership development and fostering co-operative values. Servus plays a role in this effort through active membership on their board of directors, support of the annual ACCA annual Gathering of Co-ops, and sponsoring youth across the province to attend the Co-op Leadership Camps that take place at Goldeye Lake Camp each year.
ACCA Camp – Co-operative Youth Leadership Program Application Process
Sponsorship Details:
- Servus will sponsor up to seven teens to attend the camp.
- To be eligible for sponsorship applicants must be Servus Credit Union members or children of members.
- Sponsorship will include payment of the registration fee, $708.75.
- Teens previously sponsored by Servus Credit Union may not be considered—preference will go to first-time applicants.
