What Lojiq does

LOJIQ (Les Offices jeunesse internationaux du Québec) is a Quebec-based, government-funded non-profit organization that supports young adults aged 18 to 35 in pursuing international mobility experiences for personal and professional development. Founded in 1968 as the Office franco-québécois pour la jeunesse (OFQJ) and rebranded under the LOJIQ umbrella, the organization delivers five core programs — Mobilité étudiante, Accélérateur de carrière, Mobilité en francophonie canadienne, Événements internationaux au Québec, and the Initiative jeunesse de lutte contre les changements climatiques (IJLCC) — plus a catalog of pre-organized turnkey projects (Projets clés en main) covering events such as COP31, COP17, and MedFIT. Since June 1, 2026, LOJIQ has been formally integrated into the Ministère des Relations internationales et de la Francophonie (MRIF) and operates under the new name Québec jeunesse monde (QJM), with its programs consolidated under the Direction de la mobilité internationale jeunesse (DMIJ).

The organization runs on a digital platform for participant file management and program administration, accessed via a self-serve portal at lojiq.org/mon-compte, supplemented by email newsletters, social media channels (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram), and three physical offices in Montréal, Québec City, and Saint-Denis (France). Its technology stack is administrative rather than proprietary: the platform supports application intake, eligibility review, and financial-support disbursement rather than offering differentiated IP. No AI, API, or SDK capabilities are disclosed.

LOJIQ's business model is government appropriations rather than commercial revenue. Primary funding flows from MRIF, with secondary support from the Secrétariat à la jeunesse du Québec, the Fonds d'électrification et de changements climatiques (for IJLCC), SODEC, CALQ, and the Délégation générale du Québec à Paris. The go-to-market motion is community-led, reaching participants through the website portal, newsletters, social media, and a dense network of partnerships with educational institutions, government agencies, and international bodies (OFAJ, BIJ, Wallonia-Brussels delegation, OSEntreprendre, Pépite Pays de la Loire, Ville de Montréal, Secrétariat international de l'eau). The customer segment is a single horizontal persona — young adults aged 18-35 seeking mobility experiences — with no commercial pricing model; instead, eligible participants apply for grants covering travel, accommodation, and project expenses.

Direct peers

• AIESEC: Global youth-led organization facilitating international volunteer and professional internship exchanges for students and recent graduates aged 18-30. Comparable target demographic, similar program types (international career acceleration), and similar self-serve application portal model.
• Bureau International Jeunesse (BIJ): Belgian francophone international youth bureau that administers cross-border youth mobility programs funded by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Mirrors LOJIQ/OFQJ's role for the Belgian francophone market and is already a Major tier partner of LOJIQ.
• Exchanges Canada: Canadian federal program funding youth mobility experiences across provinces. Direct functional peer for LOJIQ's intra-Canada francophone mobility mandate and a key comparator for how the federal government structures youth mobility funding.
• Youth For Understanding (YFU): One of the world's largest international student exchange organizations, founded in 1951. Comparable to LOJIQ in serving high-school and young-adult outbound mobility with government scholarship co-funding, though primarily volunteer-driven rather than state-run.
• Office franco-allemand pour la jeunesse (OFAJ): Bi-governmental youth mobility office between France and Germany, structurally and functionally analogous to OFQJ within LOJIQ. Both operate as bi-national state-backed bodies financing youth professional and cultural exchanges; OFAJ is already a declared LOJIQ partner on trilateral programs.
• AFS Intercultural Programs: International youth exchange nonprofit operating in over 50 countries, providing funded and self-funded mobility experiences for adolescents and young adults. Comparable mission, beneficiary profile, and partner-network-driven delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ): Quebec government arts council that funds international mobility for Quebec artists. Shares LOJIQ's government-backers, target geography, and cultural mobility programs, and is a Core tier partner of LOJIQ on Showcase Scotland and similar arts mobility initiatives.
• Erasmus+ (European Commission): The EU's flagship youth and education mobility program. Overlaps with LOJIQ in the international youth mobility category at a much larger scale, but is geographically restricted to Europe; useful as a benchmark for program scale, funding structure, and pan-European mobility workflows.

Regional players

• Jeunes Ambassadeurs de la Francophonie: Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) program placing young professionals from francophone countries in embassies and international organizations. Comparable beneficiary age range and francophonie mobility mission, though operating globally rather than from a single national government.
• Wallonie-Bruxelles International (WBI): Public agency managing international relations and cooperation for the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, including youth mobility. Functionally comparable to LOJIQ at a francophone-Belgian scale and an active partner of LOJIQ on Quebec-Wallonia youth exchanges.
