Association APART

What Association APART does

Association APART (Association de Prévention par les Arts de Rue de Tremblay-en-France) is a French non-profit association governed by loi 1901, founded on October 6, 2004, and headquartered in Tremblay-en-France, Île-de-France, with a secondary training site in the Charles de Gaulle airport zone and a multidisciplinary team of 14 staff including social workers, educators, and facilitators. Its mission is the social and professional reintegration of disconnected youth aged 16-30 in Seine-Saint-Denis, delivered through five branded sub-programs: Trempl'1 (a 120-hour/4-month integration training with sports sessions and employment preparation, capped at 15 participants per cohort, delivered under a 2025 Lauréat O2R designation), APART Academy (vocational modules in audiovisual with filmmaker Lamine Diakité, sports disciplines, and food trades with international placements including La Mamounia in Marrakech), Pôle Féminin / Premières de Cordée (women's empowerment through outdoor sports, launched with a 2022 Kilimandjaro cordée covered by Canal+), Expédition Fraternité (international solidarity treks in Nepal, Bolivia, Kyrgyzstan, and Norway under a "un sommet, un emploi" philosophy), and Formations Civique et Citoyenne (DRAJES-accredited civic training intermediating Service Civique volunteers).

The organization's go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: youth are recruited primarily through peer-to-peer cooptation, sports clubs, Mission Locale, Paris Terre d'Envol, and other insertion actors, while cohorts are scaled via referrals from professional insertion partners. Revenue is non-transactional and diversified across four streams: (1) public grants and subsidies from Politique de la Ville, ITI co-financing from Région Île-de-France, Préfecture 93, DDCS, ANCT, PRIJ, DRAJES, CEJ-JR, and historically IEJ (European, 2018); (2) training service contracts billed at €1,200 per participant to referring structures under convention de prestations; (3) corporate partnerships and sponsorships (Arcteryx, Chamex, Fondation Transdev, Fondation SNCF for expeditions, plus HEMA, Starbucks, LCL, Compass Group, and Fondasol for youth recruitment); and (4) individual donations solicited via the website. Training is free of charge for eligible young people aged 16-30; the association holds QUALIOPI certification for "Action de formation" and reports a 97% trainee satisfaction rate, 100% employability improvement, and 78 trainees integrated in 2025.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Apprentis d'Auteuil: Large French youth foundation offering education, training, and family support to vulnerable children and youth. Broader scope than APART (includes residential care, schools) but overlapping in vocational insertion and employer partnerships.
• La Croix-Rouge française: Large humanitarian organization running professional insertion and training programs (including dispositif TRACE) targeting the same populations as APART. Much broader scope, but a significant competitor for the same insertion funding envelopes.
• Emmaüs France: Major French federation of insertion organizations combining economic activity (recycling, second-hand retail) with social accompaniment. Comparable insertion philosophy and funding model, but operates a different ecosystem (work integration vs. training-to-employment).

Direct peers

• Article 1: French association supporting equal opportunity through mentoring, scholarship, and professional integration programs for youth from modest backgrounds. Overlaps with APART on employer-engagement and youth insertion KPIs.
• Nos Quartiers ont des Talents (NQT): French non-profit connecting graduates from priority neighborhoods with corporate mentors and job opportunities. Directly comparable to APART on the professional-integration end and employer-partnership model, though focused on graduates rather than non-qualified youth.
• AFEV (Association de la Fondation Étudiante pour la Ville): French non-profit supporting youth in priority neighborhoods through mentoring, civic engagement, and educational accompaniment. Comparable mission and target demographic (disconnected youth in QPVs) with a different methodology (mentoring-led rather than sport-led).
• Sport dans la Ville: France's largest sport-based youth insertion NGO, headquartered in Lyon with sites across France. Most direct comparable to APART: uses sport as an educational vehicle to integrate youth from priority neighborhoods into employment, with a similar employer-partnership model.
• APELS (Agence pour l'Education par le Sport): French network using sport as a tool for education and professional insertion; co-runs POEC banking programs with APART. Closest methodological peer (sport-as-education) with a national footprint versus APART's regional one.

Emerging players

• Fratries: French association combining outdoor sport (mountain expeditions) with educational support for vulnerable youth. Smaller and younger than APART but with a directly analogous sport-based methodology.

Others

• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): French national employment agency operating insertion programs and contracting with operators like APART. Functions both as an ecosystem counterpart (referrer of beneficiaries via Mission Locale) and as a competing channel for the same insertion budgets.
