Over Two Decades of Non-Profit Youth Stewardship in Jausiers

Officially registered with the Prefecture under RNA W041000115 and INSEE SIREN 430114058, ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS is a 100% non-profit, non-commercial civic organization headquartered at the Maison des Associations, 7 Montée du Chastel, 04850 Jausiers.

Origins & Territorial Context

Why Jausiers Families & Educators Founded an Independent Public-Interest Association

Nestled at 1,220 meters of altitude at the gateway to the Restefond-Bonette massif and the upper Ubaye Valley, the commune of Jausiers possesses a rich architectural, agricultural, and alpine heritage. Yet like many mountain municipalities in the department of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Jausiers experienced profound demographic and economic shifts at the turn of the twenty-first century. Young families settling or remaining in the valley frequently balanced seasonal employment across winter ski stations, summer mountain tourism, artisan trades, healthcare, and public administration—schedules that rarely aligned with standard school dismissal hours or long academic breaks.

At the same time, local parents, teachers, and municipal councilors observed that children aged 4 to 11 needed structured, joyful creative and outdoor spaces close to home, while adolescents aged 12 to 18 lacked an accessible civic hub where they could gather safely, organize collective projects, and prepare for adult responsibilities without having to commute down the valley or rely on commercial leisure venues. Out of these shared community conversations, ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS was formally constituted under the French Law of July 1, 1901 relating to the contract of association.

From its earliest statutes filed with the Sub-Prefecture of Barcelonnette, the association established an unambiguous ethical and legal foundation: it would operate strictly as a 100% non-profit organization serving the public interest and general community benefit. No founder, board officer, or member could ever receive a share of surpluses or commercial dividends. Instead, the association anchored itself inside municipal public life at the Maison des Associations, 7 Montée du Chastel, managing shared communal rooms and outdoor courtyards as an open, secular, inclusive educational commons for every child and teenager in the territory.

Across more than two decades of continuous field presence—evidenced by our historic INSEE SIREN registration 430114058 and National Register of Associations identifier W041000115—generations of Jausiers youngsters who first entered our Wednesday story-and-craft rooms at age four have grown up to earn their BAFA youth-leader certificates at seventeen, mentor younger village cohorts, and eventually return as parents and volunteer board members themselves. This self-renewing cycle of local civic solidarity remains our proudest institutional achievement.

Statutory Non-Commercial & Funding Transparency Pledge

ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS conducts zero commercial trade, sells no merchandise or paid services, and accepts no online donations on this portal. Our activities are financed exclusively through public municipal subsidies, departmental and state youth-education grants, institutional family-welfare conventions, and modest statutory annual member dues.

All membership fees and dues are fully reinvested in the association's public interest missions.

Democratic Voluntary Leadership

Executive Board (Bureau de l’Association) — Elected Voluntary Officers

In strict compliance with our Association loi 1901 statutes, the Executive Board is elected democratically by voting members at the Annual General Assembly. All board officers serve in a 100% unpaid, non-remunerated voluntary capacity (gestion désintéressée), ensuring complete independence and financial integrity.

Collegial Oversight & Pedagogical Accountability

The Executive Board meets on the first Tuesday of every month at the Maison des Associations in Jausiers, joined by our lead pedagogical coordinator and parent-volunteer representatives. Together, the Bureau oversees child-protection protocols, reviews municipal facility maintenance, verifies public grant compliance, and prepares open annual reports for families and institutional partners.

Every parent of an enrolled child, adult volunteer, and local resident who shares our civic values may attend General Assembly sessions and inspect statutory governance registers upon request through our secretariat.

President & Publication Director

Marc-Antoine Isoard

A lifelong resident of the Ubaye Valley and former public secondary-school history and civics educator, Marc-Antoine Isoard coordinates institutional relations with the Mairie de Jausiers, the Sub-Prefecture of Barcelonnette, departmental youth offices, and regional educational partners. As statutory President, he chairs the Board of Directors and General Assembly, signs public-grant conventions, and guarantees strict adherence to child-safety standards and 100% non-profit neutrality across all programs.

Treasurer & Financial Officer

Claire-Marie Meyran

With eighteen years of administrative accounting experience in territorial public administration across Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Claire-Marie Meyran oversees ledger accounting, public subsidy tracking, supplier invoices for educational materials, and annual financial reporting.

General Secretary & Family Liaison

Julien-Pierre Lombard

Parent of two Jausiers youth participants and active alpine trail volunteer, Julien-Pierre Lombard maintains the official statutory register, records General Assembly minutes, coordinates volunteer orientation schedules, and oversees GDPR-compliant family enrollment files at 7 Montée du Chastel. He serves as the primary bridge between parents, neighborhood associations, and our extracurricular facilitation staff.

Safeguarding, Ethics & Secular Inclusion

How We Manage Local Spaces Safely & Equitably

Entrusting a child aged four or a teenager aged sixteen to an extracurricular organization requires absolute institutional trust. ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS enforces a comprehensive four-part Charter of Quality and Safeguarding across every room of the Maison des Associations and every outdoor excursion site:

1. Certified Pedagogical Supervision: Field sessions are led by qualified youth professionals holding state-recognized diplomas (BPJEPS, BAFD, BAFA, or early-childhood CAP AEPE credentials), supported by vetted adult volunteers whose criminal-record extracts (Bulletin n°3 / vérification administrative) and civil-liability insurance are systematically verified prior to youth contact.

2. Republican Secularism & Non-Discrimination: Operating in the spirit of French public-interest popular education (éducation populaire), our spaces welcome every young resident of Jausiers regardless of household income, cultural background, gender, or physical ability, in an atmosphere of mutual respect, neutrality, and kindness.

3. Co-Design with Families & Youth: Quarterly parent-educator roundtables and our Adolescent Youth Council allow young people and families to evaluate past workshops and shape upcoming holiday themes directly.

How Decisions Are Debated, Voted & Audited Inside the Association

Transparency in a 100% non-profit organization begins with clear separation of responsibilities and open member participation. Under our filed statutes at the Sub-Prefecture of Barcelonnette (RNA W041000115), governance operates through three complementary democratic bodies:

1. The Annual General Assembly

Convened every spring at the Maison des Associations with at least fifteen days’ written notice to all enrolled families, adult volunteers, and institutional observers. Every adult member up to date with statutory annual membership holds an equal deliberative vote. The Assembly examines the Moral Report, Pedagogical Activity Report, and Financial Report, votes the upcoming annual budget, sets modest family membership dues, and elects members of the Board of Directors by secret or open ballot.

2. The Board of Directors (Conseil d’Administration)

Composed of nine to twelve unpaid elected local residents—including parents of primary-school and teenage participants, retired teachers, and active village volunteers—serving renewable three-year terms. Meeting at least once per school term, the Board defines multi-year pedagogical priorities, approves municipal facility conventions, validates child-protection procedures, and oversees collaboration with schools and regional youth networks across Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

3. Pedagogical & Youth Consultative Commissions

To ensure daily operations reflect real youth needs rather than top-down administration, three thematic commissions bring board members together with salaried educators and teenagers: the Early Childhood & Accessibility Commission (ages 4–11), the Adolescent Civic & Health Commission (ages 12–18), and the Local Heritage & Environment Commission coordinating Saturday intergenerational workshops in Jausiers.

Stewardship of the Maison des Associations (7 Montée du Chastel)

Located in the historic upper village of Jausiers, the Maison des Associations serves as both our legal headquarters and our primary indoor pedagogical commons. Under a formal non-commercial public-occupancy convention with the Commune of Jausiers, ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS stewards dedicated ground-floor creative arts and early-childhood rooms, a quiet study and local-history library corner, a shared kitchen for nutritional workshops, and an upper-floor Espace Jeunes equipped for adolescent media, theatrical rehearsal, and civic assemblies.

Maintaining a municipal building shared by young citizens is itself treated as a daily lesson in civic responsibility. At the close of every Wednesday and after-school session, children and teenagers participate in a ten-minute collective tidy-up routine—sorting recyclable paper and craft offcuts, wiping wooden worktables, checking board-game pieces back into inventory, and airing rooms—instilling lasting respect for common public property.

Institutional & Educational Partners Across the Ubaye Territory

Our association works in continuous non-commercial coordination with the Mairie de Jausiers, local public primary educators, secondary school liaisons in Barcelonnette, Departmental Youth, Engagement and Sports Services (SDJES 04), family-support counselors of the Caisse d’Allocations Familiales (CAF 04), alpine environmental interpreters, and fellow non-profit cultural and athletic associations across the Ubaye Valley. None of these partnerships involve commercial subcontracting or private profit; every joint project expands free or public-interest educational horizons for rural children and young adults aged 4 to 18. All membership fees and dues are fully reinvested in the association's public interest missions.

Annual Evaluation Indicators & Continuous Improvement

At the conclusion of every academic cycle in June, our Board of Directors and Lead Pedagogical Coordinator publish a comprehensive Activity Evaluation Report examining qualitative and quantitative indicators across Jausiers: geographic reach across outlying village hamlets, regularity of Wednesday and school-holiday attendance, adolescent participation in civic decision-making, parent satisfaction survey responses, safety-drill readiness at the Maison des Associations, and intergenerational bridge-building with senior village residents.

Whenever families identify emerging community realities—such as shifting winter transport hours along the D900 valley road, exam-revision stress among Troisième and Terminale students, or demand for quieter sensory corners for four- and five-year-olds—the Board adapts room layouts, educator schedules, and annual grant applications accordingly. Through disciplined democratic governance, unpaid civic leadership, and complete commercial neutrality, ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS remains a trusted public-benefit institution anchored at 7 Montée du Chastel for every generation of Jausiers families.
