Info Jeunes Grand Est

What Info Jeunes Grand Est does

Info Jeunes Grand Est is the regional youth information service operated by Centre Régional Information Jeunesse Grand Est (CRIJ Grand Est), a non-profit headquartered at 41 rue de Talleyrand, Reims, France. Founded in 1987, the organization delivers free, anonymous information and guidance to young people aged 15–29 across all 10 departments of the Grand Est region on eight life domains: orientation and training, employment, housing, transport, health, rights and administrative procedures, civic engagement, and international mobility. End users access services through a WordPress-based web portal (info-jeunes-grandest.fr), phone, email, video conference, or in-person visits to approximately 50 physical Info Jeunes (IJ) locations distributed across the region.

The core product surface consists of the portal itself (housing hundreds of structured thematic information sheets, an events calendar, publications, and an interactive IJ network locator with department/radius search), the #TravelMates Grand Est peer support network for international mobility, and the physical IJ point network. The technology stack is conventional open-source web infrastructure (WordPress CMS, Matomo for GDPR-compliant analytics, OVH hosting, GM Créative for web development); there is no proprietary platform IP and no AI/ML component. Notable ecosystem features include Eurodesk and OFAJ labels at selected locations (e.g., Info Jeunes Mulhouse) and integration with the national Boussole des Jeunes digital platform.

The organization has no end-user revenue: all services are free to users. The operating model is institutional funding, with disclosed funders including DRAJES Grand Est, Région Grand Est, FSE+ (European Social Fund Plus), and the European Commission. A single disclosed grant of €327,549 from FSE+ funds the European Solidarity Corps (CES) mobility program. The strategic go-to-market is community-led, combining physical presence in municipalities with content marketing, multi-platform social media (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, Twitch, LinkedIn), and partnerships with Pôle Emploi/France Travail, Europe Direct, OFAJ, and Eurodesk. The "customer" base is diffuse by design (all Grand Est youth 15–29) while the funding counterparties are concentrated among four to five public-sector institutions.
