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.

Application Details:

To be eligible for sponsorship, applicants must:

• Be Servus Credit Union members or children of members; children of Servus employees may also apply but the application must be submitted through their home branch
• Pay the participant fee

Submit to ACCA the following:

• A letter explaining why you would like to attend the camp
• A completed registration form
• A cheque payable to ACCA for the participant fee (Servus pays for the registration fee). Cheques from applicants not selected for sponsorship will be destroyed.

Selection Process

• Selection of the seven teens for sponsorship will be based on their letter explaining why they want to attend.
• Preference will be given to teens who have not previously attended an ACCA camp.
• Once the sponsorship recipients have been selected, ACCA will contact all applicants in the final selection pool.
