In addition to receiving training to successfully carry out their contracts and develop professional skills, participants discover and take part in the management of a business.

This project is also a powerful way for young people to discover their neighbourhood, understand its dynamics, and become more aware of the issues affecting their community.

This support will help young people regain stability, develop greater independence, and build confidence before taking the next step toward permanent housing.

Community outreach

Community outreach is carried out in collaboration with the Maison des jeunes de LaSalle and Équipe Alentour.

The team travels throughout the community with a mobile unit—the Winnibago—to connect directly with young people experiencing precarious living conditions or homelessness.

Our work experience program will provide participants with a real-world employment environment where they can learn, practice, and strengthen their professional skills.
