Francheville is a
Canadian organization created to help
youth between the ages of
16 and

non-profit organization, this is done freely, independant of
social or
economic class.
The CJE de Francheville offers the following services:

Work projects
The offices are equiped with internet-capable computers, photocopiers, fax machines, telephones, newspapers, a job bank, lists of local business and industry, reams of sheets about educational opportunities, application forms for exchanges and international study, government publications, and lots of service staff.
The CJE de Francheville services 16 municipalities in central Québec, with two offices; one in Trois-Rivières, and the other in Ste-Geneviève-de-Batiscan.
My own experience with the CJE is a work project of making a mural, for which they bought all the supplies, and provided an area artist, Éric Godin, as a resource person. The were several students from the UQTR, as well as two girls from the Cégep de Trois-Rivières, and a girl who works at Omer DeSerres.
