Founded in 2012, the Jeunes gouverneurs committee is formed of young professionals aged 25 to 40, whose mission is to raise awareness among their peers about philanthropy, the importance of being involved in the community and fundraising in the cultural sector.
This experience enables Jeunes gouverneurs to discover the inner workings of a major cultural organization, and to get involved in organizing and selling fundraising and networking activities to support Les Grands Ballets, while developing their professional network and fundraising skills.
The 2024–2025 season of the Jeunes gouverneurs committee at Les Grands Ballets came to a vibrant close on April 11 during the Soirée Jeunes gouverneurs. We wish to thank co-chairs Ariane Dusablon (EY) and Alexandra Freedman (Fasken), the eighteen committee members, as well as all our partners, sponsors, and participants who joined us throughout this season’s philanthropic events. Thanks to this collective effort, nearly $80,000 was donated to support Les Grands Ballets’ artistic mission.
Stay tuned for our upcoming activities via our website and social media. We look forward to seeing you next season!
Dance, networking, and generosity took center stage on April 11 during the Soirée Jeunes gouverneurs.

A standout event, powered by a new generation of philanthropists.
