CNLAPS

What CNLAPS does

CNLAPS (Comité National de Liaison des Acteurs de la Prévention Spécialisée) is a French non-profit association founded in 1972 under the loi 1901 framework, operating as the sole national liaison, information, and research body for specialized youth-prevention actors in France. The organization represents the sector's approximately 254 associative and public-sector management entities, which collectively manage roughly 3,600 educational positions focused on preventing youth marginalization and social dropout. CNLAPS is governed through eight regional delegations covering metropolitan France (Arc Méditerranéen, Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, Grand Est, Grand Ouest, Hauts de France, Île de France, Sud Ouest) and the overseas territories (Outre-Mer).

CNLAPS operates two principal product lines. The first is TRAJECT, a proprietary data-collection and territorial-diagnostic software co-developed with FORMASOFT PRO. TRAJECT comprises three modules — an agenda module for activity tracking (individual support, collective actions, social presence, meeting times), a persons module for accompanied-individual files, and a territory module for shared territorial diagnostics — and is GDPR-compliant with data hosted on French servers. As of 2023, TRAJECT is used by approximately 2,000 prevention professionals across an expanding base of user structures (24 in 2022, targeted 50). The second is a QUALIOPI-certified training division (certified November 2021, recertified 2024-2027) operating since 1992, delivered by approximately 40 occasional trainers drawn from the practitioner community and covering specialized-prevention practices, street-work methodology, and TRAJECT software use.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring annual membership dues structured by a published fee schedule (barème des cotisations), fee-for-service training and conference registration (Journées Nationales 2025 priced at €300 for members and €350 for non-members), and co-financed research-action projects with public agencies including ANCT, DGCS, and SG-CIPDR. Go-to-market is community-led: growth is driven by regional delegate networks, word-of-mouth within the specialized-prevention sector, the biennial national conference (which drew ~700 attendees in Grenoble in 2023), and engagement in policy forums at the Senate and within the Conseil National de la Protection de l'Enfance (CNPE). The organization is led by President Anne-Marie Fauvet and operates from its headquarters at 21 rue Lagille, 75018 Paris.
