Parcours le Monde Île-de-France

What Parcours le Monde Île-de-France does

Parcours le Monde Île-de-France (PLM IDF) is a French association loi 1901 (non-profit) founded in 2016 and headquartered at L'Arsenal 6, MIE - Labo 6, 76 bis rue de Rennes, 75006 Paris. It operates as the Île-de-France regional chapter of a national network of five PLM associations federated under L'Union des Facilitateurs de Mobilité (Union de Parcours le Monde), which mutualizes tools, competencies, pedagogical methods, and projects across regions. The organization employs approximately 6 staff and is led by Présidente Jeanne Séguineau, with Elsie Sauty serving as Directrice de la publication and data protection lead.

PLM IDF's mission is to enable international mobility for young NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) in Île-de-France who face multiple barriers to going abroad, including financial constraints, language gaps, and self-censorship. The target beneficiary profile is sharply defined: average age 22, 66% with BAC-level qualifications or below, 40% living in priority urban districts (QPV), and 60% classified as NEET, with 20% long-term unemployed. The organization delivers three interconnected services: Sensibilisation (awareness-raising workshops targeting autocensure), Accompagnement sur mesure (individualized mentorship from project conception through post-return integration), and Projets internationaux (bespoke internships, volunteering, and youth exchanges created when standard dispositifs are inaccessible). It also publishes 'Le podcast de PLM' on Spotify, Deezer, and YouTube, featuring beneficiary testimonials.

The business model is non-commercial: as an association loi 1901, PLM IDF does not charge beneficiaries and discloses no revenue, pricing, or commercial customers. Operations appear funded through public/institutional grants and member-network contributions flowing through L'Union de Parcours le Monde. Reported outcomes include 100+ beneficiaries placed abroad per year, 91% reporting positive professional impact, and post-mobility outcomes of 40% employment, 40% training/studies, and 20% voluntary programs. Skill-development outcomes reported include adaptability (98%), open-mindedness (98%), communication (95%), English (93%), and teamwork (93%). The organization holds no patents, has no app, no API, and operates with a Weebly-hosted website; it is GDPR self-attested.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Service Civique: French national civic service program engaging young people (including NEETs) in missions of general interest, often international. Comparable in engaging the same demographic, though operating at vastly greater scale as a state program.
• European Solidarity Corps: EU-wide program funding volunteering and solidarity projects for young people, including those with fewer opportunities. PLM IDF draws participants and likely co-funding from this program; a structural incumbent in the same mobility-for-disadvantaged-youth space.
• AFS Vivre Sans Frontière: Established French affiliate of AFS Intercultural Programs running international student exchanges and volunteer programs. Comparable in international youth mobility mission though broader in scope and more established than PLM IDF.

Direct peers

• Solidarité Jeunesses: French non-profit specializing in international youth volunteering and workcamps, with a long-standing focus on accessibility for less-advantaged youth. Comparable scope, target population, and volunteer-mobility model.
• Citizens of Everywhere: European initiative specifically targeting NEETs and disadvantaged youth with international mobility opportunities. Direct peer in beneficiary definition and program design.
• PLM Grand Ouest: Sister regional PLM association covering western France, operating the same international mobility model for disadvantaged youth. Direct structural and methodological peer to PLM IDF within the same national network.
• L'Union de Parcours le Monde: National federation of the 5 regional PLM associations including PLM IDF. It mutualizes tools, competencies, and pedagogical methods across the network and is the closest comparable operator in terms of mission, model, and target beneficiaries.
• PLM Sud Ouest: Sister regional PLM association covering southwestern France. Same mission, methodology, and target population as PLM IDF under the same national federation.
• PLM Sud Est: Sister regional PLM association covering southeastern France. Operates the identical Sensibilisation / Accompagnement / Projets internationaux model for NEET youth in its region.
• Concordia: French non-profit organizing international volunteer workcamps and youth exchanges, including programs prioritized for young people with fewer opportunities. Directly comparable in mission, beneficiary profile, and delivery model.
