Our History
The Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi NDG, known today by its acronym CJE NDG, was founded in 1998. We are a non-profit organization that works primarily with young people aged 16 to 35 living in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Côte Saint-Luc, Hampstead and Montreal West neighbourhoods. Over the years, thanks to the resourcefulness of our team and the support of many organizations, including recurrent government grants we have expanded our services to include entrepreneurship programs, employment integration for newcomers, international projects and, as of 2011, a wide range of services offered to those 35 and over. In two decades, our services have benefitted more than 15,000 people! All of our services and projects follow a holistic approach and are part of a continuum that helps our clients develop key skills that can be successfully applied in the labour market.
Here is a glance at a few of the programs and activities developed by the CJE NDG with the support of our partners:
- Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge (2004-2016): a program belonging to the Secrétariat à la jeunesse, implemented by the Carrefour jeunesse-emplois to promote youth entrepreneurship;
- Je m’intègre en français (depuis 2010): an employment integration program for immigrants that achieved it objectives through the practice of the French language that has since changed to French conversation classes;
- Quebec Pluriel (since 2011): a mentoring program for immigrants;
- Montreal for Entrepreneurship: a program designed to explore and kick start the entrepreneurial potential of young people from both Montreal and Germany, supported by the “Les offices jeunesse internationaux du Québec (LOJIQ)”.
- CRÉNEAU CJE (depuis 2017): “Secrétariat à la jeunesse” program focusing on school perseverance, personal and social autonomy and youth participation in entrepreneurship, volunteering and projects related to volunteerism;
- Personal Finance, I’m in Charge (since 2017): financial literacy program supported by the Desjardins Group.
