Chantiers jeunesse offers young people the opportunity to bring their projects to life. We are looking for motivated and inspired youth who want to work for their community! Among the themes to explore: environment, diversity, engaged art, education and more!
Our Social Entrepreneurship Projects program gives volunteers the chance to strengthen their leadership and entrepreneurial skills by developing and implementing their own projects from start to finish.
In other words, you can learn the basics of managing a full-scale project while helping your community.
Anyone between the ages of 15 and 30 (individual or group) who wants to create a social project (artistic, cultural, educative, athletic, etc.)
You must be a citizen, permanent resident or person who has been granted refugee or protected person status in Canada.
It’s free! All social entrepreneurship projects are carried out under the Canada Service Corps initiative, so all expenses related to training sessions given by CJ (transportation, accommodation and food) are covered.
We can also support you with a grant of $2,500 to help you make your project a reality!
Personalized follow-up of the project with one of our agents remotely or in presence.
You will have access to a network of alumni as well as tips for networking!
Human, material and financial can be granted to you in order to carry out your project.
(timeframes vary based on the project)
Don’t be afraid of failure, and give it all you got. Be passionate and interested in the topic you are looking to have your project on.
