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.
We encourage associations and young people around Finland to send in their applications for the campaign!
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.
The association is the employer of the young person and handles the selection process, orientation, supervision and the formalities of salary payment and general employer obligations.
We do not support religious or party political activities or organisations through our donations.
How can young people apply for summer jobs in the campaign?
Young people aged 15–17* can apply for jobs in the Summer jobs paid for by OP campaign from 3 March to 28 March 2025. You can apply for more than one job through our campaign, but you can only be selected for one summer job paid for by OP.
