Info-Jeunes Auvergne Rhône-Alpes

What Info-Jeunes Auvergne Rhône-Alpes does

Info-Jeunes Auvergne Rhône-Alpes is a French non-profit association (Association Loi 1901) operating under the legal name CRIJ Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, headquartered at 66 cours Charlemagne, Lyon. Founded in 1980 as CRIJ Lyon and formed through successive mergers culminating in the 2016 creation of CRIJ Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes following regional reform, the organization adopted the Info-Jeunes national identity in 2022. It functions as the regional coordinator of a network of 115+ labeled youth information structures spanning all 12 departments of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, delivering free, confidential, and anonymous information services to young people aged 13-30 across domains including career building, employment, rights access, housing, health, civic engagement, and international mobility. The organization holds the state-granted Label Information Jeunesse quality mark and is the regional relay of the national Info Jeunes France federation and the European Eurodesk network.

The organization's core technology stack centers on a WordPress-based professional portal (pro.info-jeunes.fr) and a secure Espace Pro login system for network professionals, supplemented by an online directory of 115+ member structures. Geographic visualization uses Leaflet with OpenStreetMap tiles; site analytics run on Matomo; and security is handled via Wordfence. The organization operates proprietary methodologies including InfoLab (information education method) and the mandatory Formation Informateur Jeunesse (FIJ) training program, both delivered with Qualiopi certification enabling OPCO funding coverage. Specialized physical service points include Info-Jeunes Lyon (youth information center) and Espace Santé Jeunes de Lyon (mental health support for youth 12-25), while digital outreach is delivered through the Promeneurs du Net program.

Revenue derives primarily from public institutional grants — DRAJES Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, departmental councils (Ardèche, Drôme, Loire, Rhône), Métropole de Lyon, Ville de Lyon, CAF family allowance funds, and national health/social protection funds — supplemented by training service fees and subscription-based resource access available to labeled member structures. Direct youth services are provided free of charge. The organization employs 22 staff and operates under a Bureau-led governance structure with Xavier Parisot as President and Isabelle Kuntz as Directrice. Partnerships span state services, regional councils, employment agencies, social protection bodies, and education networks, with no private equity or venture capital ownership indicated.
