Community Work
Presence in The Community
AJOI offers several community work services to young and vulnerable people in the West Island of Montreal and its surrounding areas.
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.
Our Services
Prevention workshops in schools, communities and institutions
AJOI offers customized workshops in school, community and institutions, designed to meet the specific needs of each environment. Whether addressing topics such as polydrug prevention, mental health, rights and responsibilities or sexuality education, our workshops are tailor-made and dynamically facilitated. By adapting to the reality and values of the target environment, each workshop becomes an enriching and engaging space for exchange, enabling participants to acquire concrete tools for their work or daily life.
Class tours
AJOI organizes class visits to local schools to introduce young people to the services available to them. The purpose of these meetings is to show them that the organization is there to support them in times of need. During these tours, prevention materials are distributed and educational games are organized to make the information more accessible and engaging.
School presence
In addition to their active presence around the schools in their territories, AJOI workers work with partner schools to offer listening and referral services directly within the schools. This proximity enables young people to quickly find support, guidance and resources adapted to their needs, while reinforcing a climate of trust and mutual aid within their school environment.
