Daniel Martinez, facilitator: To me, a Patro is:
Mélanie Harvey, former facilitator: A community centre that hosts activities.
Pascal Brulotte, Patro de Lévis General Manager: A place where good people come together.
Mélanie Harvey: Patros taught me about fundamental values, like respect.
Daniel Martinez: Communicating, meeting people, having fun.
Pascal Brulotte: Social status, skin colour, beliefs—none of it matters, everyone is welcome here.
Mélanie Marceau, beneficiary: I made a lot of friends, and I love making new friends.
Daniel Martinez: Patros are like schools where you learn to have fun.
Mélanie Marceau: Dodgeball, hockey, bowling.
Mélanie Harvey: I sing in a band. We're 6 former members of the Patro [sings].
Rénald Maheux, volunteer: We're retired, so we have time to give back.
Pascal Brulotte: [Laughs]
Mélanie Harvey: My history with the Patro certainly influenced my decision to become a community organizer.
Rénald Maheux: The Patro has done so much for me. Now it's my turn to give back.
[On-scren text: Promoting youth wellness and development, that's the Desjardins difference.]
