This summer, PenFinancial Credit Union will partner with the Ontario Credit Union Charitable Foundation to send four young students living in Niagara to the Co-operative Young Leaders (CYL) Camp. PenFinancial will pay the $610 sponsorship fee for each of the four CYL'ers! These week-long camps help young people develop self-awareness and communication and leadership skills through co-operative activities in a fun, safe, outdoor environment. They will discover more about themselves and others, and learn to become leaders, co-operators and team players.
