Jeunesse à Bruxelles

What Jeunesse à Bruxelles does

Jeunesse à Bruxelles A.S.B.L. is a Belgian non-profit (Association Sans But Lucratif) founded on June 21, 1979, operating as a para-communal organization under formal convention with the Ville de Bruxelles. The organization delivers youth leisure, educational, and social services to children aged 3-12 and their families residing within the Ville de Bruxelles territory (postal codes 1000, 1020, 1120, 1130). It coordinates multiple public mandates including Accueil Temps Libre (ATL) extracurricular coordination across 9 neighborhoods, social cohesion program management, and FIPI (Fonds d'Impulsion à la Politique de l'Immigration) coordination on behalf of the city and the Commission communautaire française (COCOF).

The organization's service portfolio includes vacation day camps (plaines), themed workshops (stages), residential camps (séjours) at Domaine de Combreuil in Ronquières (Hainaut), ATL coordination, certified Brevet d'Animateur and Brevet de Coordinateur training through Centre Elisabeth Carter, biannual Fêtes du Solstice and annual Fête de la Jeunesse events, infrastructure rentals across four facilities, a pedagogical library containing over 20,000 resources, and a free baby-sitting service launched September 2024 for single-parent families in collaboration with CPAS de Bruxelles. Technology is not a focus; service delivery relies on a WordPress-based website, online registration portals, and direct institutional channels rather than proprietary platforms.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through public subsidies from Ville de Bruxelles, COCOF, Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, and ONE, supplemented by user fees (vacation camps €30-€75 standard; residential camps €160-€200; CPAS preferential pricing; BCCV training €250-€400) and venue rental income. The organization employs approximately 25 named personnel distributed across eight operational cells (Direction, Administrative, Activities, ATL, Baby-Sitting, Social Cohesion, Centre Elisabeth Carter, and Héliport Depot) and administers an ecosystem of 32+ partner associations under a 2024-2028 social cohesion program with a €2,413,560.54 budget.
