Solidarités Nouvelles Face Au Chômage (snc)

What Solidarités Nouvelles Face Au Chômage (snc) does

Solidarités Nouvelles Face Au Chômage (SNC) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 1985 and headquartered at 51 rue de la Fédération, 75015 Paris. Its core mission is the individualized accompaniment of job seekers by trained volunteers, combined with the creation of "solidarity jobs" (emplois solidaires) within a network of dedicated structures. Services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries and are organized through 157 local solidarity groups operating across metropolitan France, including 11 corporate-implanted groups. The organization reports that more than two-thirds of accompanied persons reach a positive solution (employment, training, or return to employment).

SNC's operating model is association-based rather than technology-based: there is no proprietary software platform powering the core service, and its core technology is recorded as "Not applicable." Programmatic extensions include Lab3e, a social experimentation vehicle for testing new accompaniment formats (scaled to four cities); La Fresque de l'emploi durable, a workshop/awareness tool; a podcast; and the Expressions platform for beneficiary voice. The organization runs with a lean professional staff of 11–50 employees who coordinate the much larger volunteer base.

The funding model combines individual donations, membership fees, and grant funding — including multi-year conventions with state partners. SNC operates under formal partnership conventions with France Travail (the national employment agency), APEC (executive employment), and AFPA (vocational training), as well as relationships with ADEME, BGE Hauts-de-France, and ADDAO. Because services are provided at no cost to beneficiaries, there is no commercial pricing model; growth and sustainability depend on continued philanthropic and institutional support rather than contracted revenue.
