Young People
Supporting young people in the community with resources to share their future
Long-term social and economic prosperity in our communities depends on future generations. When young people in the community succeed, families, businesses and entire societies are positioned to benefit for years to come. With the right support, children can realize their potential and unlock a future of sustained success that benefits, them, their family and their entire community. That’s why Scotiabank invests in a range of programs that build young people’s confidence, grow their character, and provide them with resources to shape better communities.
