Our Services
Essencial Services
A large number of young people and vulnerable people in the West Island need daily support for various reasons such as homelessness, addiction, mental health, social exclusion, violence and sexual health. AJOI is made up of 13 outreach street workers who work in parks, shopping centers, schools, organizations and any other appropriate environment with the aim of creating links, offering to listen and providing support to people who show need. Day after day, they build relationships of trust.
An entertainment team also offers the opportunity for young people in the area to expend their energy during indoor and outdoor sporting events. It allows participants to socialize with other young people in the region and fill their schedule with dynamic and enriching activities.
It is thanks to a non-judgmental approach that outreach street workers and animators are accepted by young people and vulnerable people. They help them, step by step, to get out of precariousness and idleness. AJOI is committed to renewing itself and offering opportunities in the area of sports, prevention workshops, awareness campaigns, intervention services, and more.
Outreach Street Work
Outreach street work is a form of intervention with the objective of reaching out to people who are upset or at odds with the structures of society. The outreach street worker is a general practitioner who exercises an integrated practice in the living environment of people of all ages who find themselves in particularly difficult situations.
Community Work
Community work has the mandate to identify the needs of young people and vulnerable people while taking into account the needs of the community. Thus, the community worker aims to help young people and vulnerable people find their place in the community, through various strategies such as; leading prevention workshops, offering conferences, and being physically present in the community.
