Don Bosco - Direction Mobilité

What Don Bosco - Direction Mobilité does

Association Don Bosco, operating commercially as Don Bosco and Direction Mobilité, is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 1946 and headquartered at the Parc d'Innovation de Mescoat in Finistère. It is a secular, recognized general-interest entity delivering social and medico-social services across the Finistère department and Centre Ouest Bretagne region. The core beneficiaries are people with disabilities, at-risk children and families, and individuals needing inclusive mobility, professional formation, and justice-related support.

Service delivery is organized under three pillars plus a vocational arm: (1) Handicap & Santé (disability and health support), (2) Prévention & Protection de l'Enfance (child welfare and prevention), and (3) Mobilité inclusive, Justice & Formation (inclusive mobility, justice, and professional training). The association also operates a Chantier d'insertion mécanique (mechanical insertion workshop) providing vocational training and employment integration. Supporting entities include the Unité Economique et Sociale Mescoat, the Fonds de Dotation Impakt endowment fund, and the Association Sportive et Culturelle.

The business model is not commercial: revenue is sourced primarily from French public funding streams (departmental councils, health insurance funds, social welfare allocations, judicial authorities). The go-to-market is institutional — beneficiaries access services through referrals, public-sector channels, and direct outreach — rather than through a sales motion. The Direction Mobilité unit itself is reported at 7 employees, while the parent association operates a multi-site establishment network.
