CHF BC is one of three Lower Mainland co-op sponsors with four staff (from CHF BC and COHO Management Society) matched up to mentor post-secondary students as BC Co-operative Association (BCCA)’s Co-ops in Schools program. The year-long tri-mentorship program connects BC high school students, BC post-secondary students, and BC co-op and credit union professionals. The post-secondary students will learn about working life and see the co-operative model in action.

BCCA provides training in co-op basics and the post-secondary student will coach groups of high school students as they explore co-op enterprise through discussion and activities.
