Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi Anjou Saint-Justin

What Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi Anjou Saint-Justin does

Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi Anjou/Saint-Justin (CJE Anjou/Saint-Justin) is a non-profit organization (OBNL under Quebec law) founded in 1997 and headquartered in the Galeries d'Anjou shopping centre at 7400 Bd Les Galeries d'Anjou, Bureau 230, Montréal (QC). The organization delivers employment, educational orientation, and entrepreneurship services to youth aged 16 to 35 across the Anjou and Saint-Justin boroughs of Montréal. Its three core service pillars are employability coaching (CV writing, cover-letter and interview preparation, job-search support and a digital job board), academic guidance and school-perseverance support, and pre-startup business accompaniment. These are supplemented by approximately ten community sub-programs including free DAFA camp-counselor certification, Brigade Neige snow-removal, Coop de service maintenance cooperative, Cantine Éphémère foodservice entrepreneurship, Club des Baby-sitters, Projet Jeunesse Carrière speaker series, Explore ton métier vocational tours, Sport insertion, free Tax Clinics, the Foire de l'emploi school job fair, the Cap vers l'emploi workshop series, and the Suis ton courant regional and international volunteer exchange program.

The technology stack is conventional and consumer-grade: a WordPress CMS with WPML multilingual support, Google Analytics, Google Fonts, LiveChat, and social-media integrations to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Personal data is stored in LGE Stat and SharePoint alongside the SIP de service Québec database; the privacy policy references use of 'algorithms using artificial intelligence' to process aggregated data for new-service development. The organization operates four service-delivery points: the main Anjou office, in-school sessions at Académie Dunton and École secondaire d'Anjou, library drop-in sessions at Bibliothèque du Haut-Anjou and Bibliothèque Jean-Corbeil, and a digital job board on its website, with outreach reinforced by recurring events such as the Jeunes en valeur festival and the Foire de l'emploi.

The revenue model is government grant funding. All services to youth are provided free of charge, and the organization has no commercial pricing, subscription tier, or fee-for-service revenue stream. The organization employs approximately 25 staff — including a Director General, Coordinator, Administrative Agents, Employment Advisors, and Youth Intervention Workers — with governance provided by a Board of Directors. Distribution is entirely community-led: direct in-person delivery, school-based presence, library drop-ins, and event-driven outreach through Cap vers l'emploi, the Foire de l'emploi, and the annual Jeunes en valeur festival.
