Comité régional pour la valorisation de l'éducation (CREVALE)

What Comité régional pour la valorisation de l'éducation (CREVALE) does

CREVALE (Comité régional pour la valorisation de l'éducation) is a Quebec-registered non-profit organization (OBNL) founded in 2004 and headquartered in Joliette, Lanaudière, Canada. It operates as the designated regional coordination body for educational perseverance and success across Lanaudière's six Regional County Municipalities (MRCs): D'Autray, Joliette, Montcalm, Matawinie, Les Moulins, and L'Assomption. The organization is a member of the provincial Réseau québécois pour la réussite éducative (RQRE) and is recognized by the Quebec Ministry of Education as the channel for distributing sectoral agreement funding (Entente sectorielle en persévérance scolaire et réussite éducative) to local educational perseverance projects in the region.

CREVALE's product portfolio centers on a digital ecosystem anchored by crevale.org and oser-jeunes.org, which host free resources for families, schools, employers, and community organizations. Notable components include the Boîte à outils pour les parents (an 18-tool parent resource set available in French, English, and Spanish), the Les clés de ma réussite web quiz, and the Radar lanaudois de la réussite éducative regional data dashboard launched in 2022. Programmatic offerings include the annual Journées de la persévérance scolaire (JPS) campaign in February, the Glissade de l'été summer learning-loss prevention program, the OSER-JEUNES employer certification for work-study balance, the Chantier régional en réussite éducative multi-stakeholder event, a podcast (T'as tout intérêt), and a web series (Ensemble pour la réussite éducative).

The business model is non-commercial. Revenue is derived primarily from Quebec Ministry of Education sectoral agreements (e.g., CAD $2,528,907 in 2020; CAD $1M+ over 2024-2026), with supplementary corporate partnerships (Caisses Desjardins de Lanaudière CAD $15,000/year on a three-year agreement from 2019; Bridgestone CAD $10,000/year on a five-year agreement from 2017). Approximately 140 partners from the school, municipal, community, health, academic, and private sectors collaborate with the organization, which is staffed by 10 employees. Following the July 2025 dissolution of Éducation Lanaudière, CREVALE absorbed additional regional coordination responsibilities, and in November 2025 formalized a research partnership with UQTR. A 2025-2030 strategic plan was adopted in December 2025.

Core offering

CREVALE delivers free educational perseverance and school retention services to the Lanaudière region of Quebec, coordinating schools, employers, families, municipalities, and community organizations around student success.
