Maison des Droits des Enfants et des Jeunes

What Maison des Droits des Enfants et des Jeunes does

Maison des Droits des Enfants et des Jeunes (MDEJ) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 1993 and headquartered at 22-24 rue Monserby, 31500 Toulouse, France, with a 12-person staff. The organization operates a single-site, human-services delivery model focused on three beneficiary groups in the Haute-Garonne department: minors and young adults seeking legal information; parents needing support with parenting and family separation; and professionals (social, educational, medical-social, animation sectors) requiring training and practice analysis. Core services include scheduled legal information appointments and prevention workshops for youth, family mediation during separations or crises, personalized parental support (3–6 interviews) and group workshops, and a professional training catalog covering harassment prevention, family mediation, and child protection.

The portfolio is delivered through direct, in-person service at the Toulouse headquarters, supplemented by on-site training at partner facilities and an emerging webinar channel. MDEJ offers no proprietary technology platform; the technology field is explicitly characterized as not applicable, and the organization's value proposition is built on human expertise and institutional relationships rather than software. Marketing and outreach are conducted through organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), email newsletters, annual open days, and webinars — including a November 2024 co-hosted harassment-prevention webinar with Conseil Départemental 31.

The revenue model is that of a typical French association d'intérêt général: diversified public grants and institutional funding from 15+ government bodies (Préfecture, Toulouse Métropole, Conseil Départemental, CAF, MSA, Ministry of Justice, ARS, CGET/ANCT, FENAMEF, among others), supplemented by donations eligible for a 66% tax reduction, membership (adhésion) fees, and a marginal fee-for-service stream from the "Questions de parents" offering priced at €5 per interview. The customer base is fragmented across three personas, and no individual beneficiary or institutional client is large enough to be named as a material account.

Direct peers

• Maisons Départementales des Adolescents (MDA): Public departmental structures providing free, confidential listening and multidisciplinary support for adolescents — already an MDEJ partner and functionally overlapping in youth listening and rights information.

• Défenseur des Droits: Independent French administrative authority defending citizens' rights, including children's rights — broader mandate but MDEJ serves as a referral partner for individual rights claims in Haute-Garonne.

Regional players

• La Place (Plateforme de l'égalité des droits et de la participation des jeunes): French initiative supporting youth participation and rights awareness — comparable mission area, with overlap in rights-awareness workshops for minors, though operating more in policy/advocacy than direct service.
