PEP 28

What PEP 28 does

PEP 28 (Association PEP28), doing business as Les PEP 28, is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) headquartered in Eure-et-Loir, France, and founded in 1915 as part of the federal Les PEP network. Originally created by teachers and friends of the public school to support orphans and war victims, the organization has evolved over 100 years into a multi-service social, educational, and medico-social provider serving vulnerable children, families, persons with disabilities, adolescents, and job seekers in the Eure-et-Loir department. Its service portfolio spans early childhood facilities (petite enfance), after-school and leisure centers (accueils de loisirs et périscolaires), youth centers (accueils adolescents), discovery-class programs (classes de découvertes) anchored by the 130-hectare Maison des Espaces Naturels and La Villa Eole, vacation stays (séjours de vacances), medico-social facilities (dispositifs médico-sociaux), social centers (centres sociaux), the departmental Point Info Famille, and the PRH ELI employment integration pathway. It also hosts the national Plateforme 360 / Communauté 360 disability helpline for the department.

The organization operates with no proprietary technology: services are delivered directly through its own network of physical establishments rather than a technology platform. Its business model is that of a French non-profit social economy actor, with revenue derived from public subsidies (from ARS, CAF, DDETSPP, Région Centre-Val de Loire, and other public partners), donations, and membership contributions. Services are provided free of charge or at reduced rates to vulnerable populations. Marketing and stakeholder communication are conducted through the institutional website (lespep28.org), Facebook, YouTube, and downloadable federal and associative project PDFs. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

PEP 28 is governed as an independent departmental chapter within the Les PEP federation, with no parent company, subsidiaries, or private equity involvement. Its go-to-market is direct service delivery under its own establishment licenses, supported by institutional partnerships with regional health, employment, family welfare, and regional government authorities. The association is presently marking its centenary (2025-2026), having successfully broadened its service scope while remaining anchored to its founding mission of solidarity, citizenship, equality, and secularism.

Direct peers

• APF France Handicap: National association representing and supporting people with disabilities and their families, providing medico-social services, advocacy, and direct support programs. Directly comparable to PEP 28's disability and medico-social establishment offerings, with overlapping service portfolio and federal-style structure.
• Fédération des Centres Sociaux de France: National federation of social centers (centres sociaux) that deliver community services, family support, and social activities at the local level. PEP 28 operates its own social centers in Eure-et-Loir, making this federation the natural peer for that service line specifically.
• Apprentis d'Auteuil: Foundation supporting vulnerable children, adolescents, and families through educational, social, and professional integration programs across France. Comparable to PEP 28 in child welfare, education, and youth services with similar federation/association structure and public-funding model.
• ADAPEI 28 (Eure-et-Loir): ADAPEI 28 is the departmental chapter of France's leading federation of associations serving people with intellectual disabilities and their families, operating in the same Eure-et-Loir territory as PEP 28 with overlapping medico-social and disability services. Direct competitor for departmental funding and beneficiary referrals.
• UNAPEI: National federation of associations serving people with intellectual, cognitive, and psychological disabilities, operating medico-social establishments across France. Comparable to PEP 28 in disability service delivery model, federal structure, and advocacy focus.

Broad incumbents

• Emmaüs France: National federation of associations fighting social exclusion through housing, employment, and solidarity economy programs. Comparable to PEP 28 in social-services mission and French association loi 1901 structure, though focused more on exclusion/homelessness than disability/education.
• Les PEP (Fédération Générale): National federation to which PEP 28 belongs (founded 1915), coordinating PEP departmental associations across France. Direct parent-like federation providing governance, advocacy, and shared resources; offers the natural benchmark for PEP 28's service model and scale.
• Croix-Rouge française: National humanitarian organization providing social, medico-social, and educational services across France including disability support, early childhood, and social centers. Comparable to PEP 28 in service breadth and beneficiary populations, but operating at national scale with broader humanitarian mission.
• Secours Catholique (Caritas France): Major French Catholic non-profit providing social assistance, family support, and poverty-relief services across France. Comparable in service breadth to vulnerable populations and association-based operating model, though broader humanitarian focus.

Others

• CAF d'Eure-et-Loir (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales): Public family allowance fund for Eure-et-Loir and formal partner of PEP 28. Listed as a peer not because it competes directly but because it is the primary public-sector commissioner/funding counterpart for PEP 28's family, child, and youth services — making it the institutional counterpart that defines PEP 28's addressable funding envelope.
