ACYL is a non profit organization fully sponsored by co-operatives and credit unions throughout Atlantic Canada. The seminars are organized by the program coordinator and supported by volunteers within the co-operative sector.
Here are just a few of the topics that ACYL has presented in the past; Exploring leadership, Effective Communication, Public Speaking, Diversity, Youth Experience International, Values, Volunteerism, Show Me the Money and Let’s Talk Co-ops.
The ACYL seminar continues to be described as “life-changing”. The success is due to volunteers within the Co-op community. These people are eager to share their time, knowledge, skills, talents and sense of humor with youth across the Atlantic Provinces.

To attend an ACYL youth leadership seminar we ask youth to approach a co-operative or credit union in your community and ask if they would be willing to sponsor ($300.00) you to participate at the next event. The sponsorship will cover registration, food and accommodations. Travel is your parents/guardians responsibility but we can often assist with this as well.
