CYL Leadership Grant

Quadro’s CYL Leadership Grant is in support of the Ontario Co-operative Young Leaders Program, developed by the Canadian Co-operative Association. The program offers a unique summer camp experience for youth ages 13 to 18. This series of week-long camps brings together young people from across Ontario to learn about and practice the International Co-operative Principles communication, and leadership, through games, team building and community projects. Each year, Quadro Communications, as a member of the Ontario Co-operative Association (OCA), provides worthy recipients a sponsorship to attend the leadership program.
