Youth Centre
Larochette
Our youth centre is so much more than just a meeting place! It is a vibrant and inclusive space where teenagers aged 12 (cycle 4.2) and above, can find their place and thrive.
Our experienced team of pedagogical experts provides personalised guidance and tailored support to each young person in all aspects of their daily lives. The youth centre is renowned as an active participation laboratory, a leading information centre, and a cornerstone of modern prevention.
Our educators are passionate about encouraging independence and critical thinking among young people. How do they do this? By developing innovative projects and bespoke activities tailored to their genuine needs and aspirations. Our approach is rigorously based on the national non-formal education reference framework of the Ministry of Education, Children and Youth, which guarantees educational excellence.
At our youth centre, every teenager is encouraged to take charge of their own personal development in a supportive environment that fosters creativity, civic engagement, and the cultivation of a well-rounded personality.
