Since January 2024, the Maison des jeunes de Granby (MDJ) has taken a new step by opening a second service location. This space, exclusively dedicated to teenagers aged 12 to 17, meets a growing demand in the community, particularly in developing neighborhoods where the need for a safe space for young people was pressing.
Now, approximately 4,000 teenagers in Granby have access to this additional gathering place, bringing essential services closer to support their well-being and academic success.

In 2023, Les Jardins de la Terre, an organization dedicated to reintegration into the job market for young people aged 16 to 30, enabled 17 young people to participate in a socio-professional integration program tailored to their needs.
Among them, 11 completed this demanding journey, and 81% of the participants subsequently found employment or resumed their studies. Thanks to this support, these young people not only developed new skills but also regained confidence in their future.
