Centre communautaire Val-Martin

What Centre communautaire Val-Martin does

Centre communautaire Val-Martin (CCVM) is a non-profit community organization founded in 1992 and headquartered in the Chomedey district of Laval, Quebec. It operates three core service lines: Maison de la famille (family support, childcare, parenting workshops, and respite services for families with children aged 0–12), Maison des jeunes (a youth center for adolescents aged 11–17 offering activities, community meals, and homework support), and Ça CLIQ (an 8–12 week identity-building program for youth aged 14–18 at risk of school dropout). In 2025, CCVM relocated to and assumed delegated management of the Centre communautaire Simonne-Monet-Chartrand (CCSMC), a multi-organism community hub at 3700 boulevard Notre-Dame that includes approximately 60 social housing units and houses partner organizations such as Loisirs Chomedey, Centre du Sablon, FADOQ Laval, Au Panier (a solidarity grocery), Promo Santé, and CISSS de Laval. CCVM employs 23 staff and is governed by a board of directors chaired by Émilie Grenon, with Noémie Barolet serving as Director General.

The organization's revenue model is overwhelmingly grant-funded. Primary inflows come from public funding sources including the City of Laval and CISSS de Laval, supplemented by donations. A secondary revenue stream is generated through room rentals at the CCSMC, with seven distinct venues available at published rates ranging from 20 CAD/hour (non-profit dining hall) to 130 CAD/hour (Agora for citizens). Programs are otherwise delivered free or at low cost to community members. Marketing and outreach are conducted through organic channels — Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, an email newsletter, and direct school- and community-based outreach to three local elementary schools.

CCVM positions itself as a community anchor institution with over 30 years of embedded presence in Val-Martin/Chomedey. Its competitive position rests on deep community trust, an extensive referral network with schools and health partners, and the recent physical consolidation of multiple service organizations under its management at the CCSMC. Its services target vulnerable populations including immigrant and asylum-seeking families, youth in Chomedey, and residents of social housing, with measurable advocacy impact including leadership of the April 2026 'Le communautaire à boutte' mobilization in Quebec.
