The Summer Jobs Paid for by OP campaign supports the employment and financial skills of young people. A summer job is important for many young people as it offers them the opportunity to learn about working life and gain work experience. Earning an income also motivates young people to plan their finances better.
Supporting youth employment is part of OP Financial Group's sustainability programme.

How associations can apply for Summer Jobs Paid for by OP support
Associations can apply for the donation in the Summer Jobs Paid for by OP campaign directly from their local OP cooperative bank from 20 January to 14 February 2025. The list of the OP cooperative banks will be available at the bottom of this page on 20 January.
