Who is it for?
This service is for youth aged 15 to 19 years including those who are either:
- at risk of dropping out and attending a high school or adult education center;
- recent dropouts who were attending a high school or adult education center less than six months ago.
Specific objectives
- Promote the academic pursuit or re-enrolment of youth at risk of dropping out of school and recent dropouts through individual and group mentoring;
- Establish and strengthen partnerships with educational institutions and community organizations;
This service aims to encourage young people to stay in school or to re-enroll. The needs of the young people targeted by this service are multiple and can be found at different levels, for example:
- the need to be motivated, to build a life vision, to get to know themselves better, to feel valued, to develop their self-esteem, their confidence and their social skills;
- the need for role models, positive social connections to compensate for lack of family or social support, encouragement, support and guidance (especially educational) from trusted adults

« We rely on their services, among others, for workshops, given by super dynamic facilitators, who succeed in creating bonds with the students very quickly. The choice of workshops is very relevant, especially for our young people, but also for many young people aged 15 to 19. »

« What's really interesting is that it's not just a group program. We can refer students individually for all kinds of services. This individual follow-up is very interesting and is given by people who really have an expertise, are interested in our students and it shows! »
