What Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi Thérèse-De-Blainville does

Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi Thérèse-De Blainville (CJE TDB) is a Quebec-registered nonprofit community organization founded in 1996, headquartered at 100 boulevard Ducharme in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec. It delivers free employment assistance, educational support, personal development, and community integration services to youth aged 15-35 residing in the seven municipalities of MRC Thérèse-De Blainville (Blainville, Boisbriand, Sainte-Thérèse, Rosemère, Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Lorraine, and Bois-des-Filion). Beyond its core services, the organization operates a portfolio of specialized projects including the 2SLGBTQIA+ program Horizon Diversit\u00e9, the volunteer program Escouade Volontariat, the esports-for-perseverance initiative Sport \u00e9lectronique, the youth entrepreneurship project Les Mentors, the financial literacy program Mes finances mes choix, the summer employment program Desjardins Jeunes au travail, the perseverance project Toucher le sommet, and work-study balance workshops.

CJE TDB operates approximately 21 staff (including ~20 interventionists plus administrative personnel) under the leadership of Directrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale Nathalie Lachance and a board of directors led by President Pierre Hardy. The organization does not run a proprietary software platform; service delivery is anchored on three physical infrastructures: the main office housing Station CJE (drop-in space), Atelier CJE (creative workshop), La Maison du 2e rang, Caf\u00e9 de la Maison, a collective garden and greenhouse; mobile outreach via the CJE Mobile van; and on-site delivery at partner schools, vocational training centers, and community organizations. Distribution channels are exclusively direct and free-of-charge, with no commercial sales motion.

The revenue model is government and partner grant funding rather than commercial sales. Core funding comes from Quebec government bodies including SACAIS (Soutien \u00e0 la mission globale), Services Qu\u00e9bec (employment assistance), Secr\u00e9tariat \u00e0 la jeunesse (Carrefour Jeunesse), with additional support from the Minist\u00e8re de l'Emploi et de la Solidarit\u00e9 sociale, Minist\u00e8re de l'\u00c9ducation, and corporate partners led by Caisse Desjardins Th\u00e9r\u00e8se-De Blainville and Caisse Desjardins de L'Envol\u00e9e. The organization participates in a national network of 111 CJEs across Quebec and reports over 40,000 youth helped since founding, with 5,971+ served in the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
