Founded in 2012, the Jeunes gouverneurs committee is made up of young professionals whose mission is to educate a new generation about philanthropy and to create networking opportunities, while making the ballet accessible to everyone by creating fundraising events and campaigns in collaboration with Les Grands Ballets.
Through this experience, members gain valuable experience in preparing, implementing and promoting a fundraising event, while developing their skills in seeking funding.

Photos: Les Jeunes Gouverneurs' Networking Cocktails
Les Jeunes Gouverneurs’ 5th Edition of its Annual Benefit Evening, presented by National Bank in collaboration with L'Oréal Professionnel, took place on Saturday, April 1st, at the Salon urbain of the Place des Arts. This evening which was attended by 400 guests under the theme Garden Party in order to heighten philanthropic awareness to a new generation and create networking opportunities.
Hosted by Remi-Pierre Paquin, the evening began with a cocktail reception where appetizers and cocktails were served. Photographers were clicking away on the green carpet as the evening’s attendees were arriving, while the auction was a must see. The committee greeted fans and newcomers to celebrate ballet in a very festive atmosphere. Later on, the dancers of Les Grands Ballets joined the guests on the dance floor to the grooves of DJ Truspin.
Generous prizes and special perks were offered throughout the evening: National Bank presented an experience allowing guests to instantly receive souvenirs of their encounters during this networking event, L'Oréal Professionnel invited guests to take a seat in one of their hair styling touch-up stands, and last but not least our silent auction included a pair of airline tickets to Europe offered by Air France and a high end Jura coffee machine.
Another successful benefit event thanks to you!

Passionate about art and philanthropy, our mission is to make the ballet more accessible for everyone. Our primary role, however, is sharing our love and appreciation in dance. We are continually surpassing ourselves to find new ways to help our peers discover the beauty of this art form.
We are proud to have created a committee of young professionals who share the same enthusiasm towards this cause. We are equally proud to help cultivate excellence in the arts in Montreal by contributing to the promotion of the cultural community and breeding an interest in artistic activities. Our involvement with Les Jeunes gouverneurs has given us a wonderful opportunity to grow, both professionally and personally. We would like to thank all of our sponsors and partners, and hope to see you at our upcoming events. Please don’t hesitate to contact us on LinkedIn to chat about art and to find out more details about our upcoming activities.
