Alliance pour l'éducation - United Way is to co-build programs, where private, public and solidarity actors are committed to collectively address the priority issues of the territories in France.
HOW WE WORK
Thus, 100 companies, 800 employees and 27 partner associations from 8 territories have already joined UWA's programs, such as "Défi Jeunesse", "Airbus Flying Challenge" and food aid. By 2022, Alliance pour l'éducation - United Way wants to become THE platform offering solutions for young people from lower-income neighborhoods in France, and lead 17,000 young people every year towards academic success and / or the world of work.
MISSION
Create the conditions for a professional future chosen for young people by bringing together actors from the same territory to strengthen the collective impact. In order to do that, they wish to co-build programs, where private, public and solidarity actors are committed to collectively address the priority issues of the territories in France.
Our flagship Défi Jeunesse program concretizes this mission by building with the actors of the territories a long-term course aiming to develop the know-how and know how to be necessary to fulfill the potential of each young person.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT
Its flagship program "Youth Challenge" aims to create the conditions for a chosen professional future for young people from priority territories. This program accompanies students throughout their Secondary-school/high-schoolyears. A collective and individualized support allows them to develop know-how behaviours on the one hand, through fun-educational activities, and be-how behaviours ( social skills) on the other hand, through well-being activities.
These workshops are adapted to each level : identify your skills and competencies , discover jobs, and learn to know yourself in 6th grade, develop self-confidence and become familiar with the professional world in 7th , learn to build your professional project in 8th, develop a first level of autonomy in choosing your orientation and interact in confidence with the collaborators during the observation workshop as a 8th grader
