Volunteering at ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS never replaces qualified, salaried youth supervision; rather, it enriches children’s horizons with authentic neighborhood skills and intergenerational warmth. All volunteer contributions are strictly non-commercial and unpaid, covered under the association’s collective civil-liability insurance policy. All membership fees and dues are fully reinvested in the association's public interest missions.
Assist primary and collège students on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday late afternoons (16:30–18:30) at 7 Montée du Chastel. Volunteers offer calm encouragement with reading comprehension, mathematics exercises, historical research, and organizational study habits in small groups of three to four youths.
Share hands-on alpine know-how—vegetable gardening, botany, carpentry, dry-stone masonry history, photography, chess, cooking, or trail orientation—during Wednesday or Saturday sessions alongside a certified BAFA/BPJEPS facilitator who manages overall group safety.
Help set up village cultural exhibitions, family open houses, and seasonal youth forums, or—for young residents aged 16 to 18—complete supervised practical civic internships and BAFA stage placements within a supportive, non-commercial associative team.
Complete the form below to introduce yourself to our General Secretary and Pedagogical Coordinator. Submitting this form creates zero financial obligation—our association never solicits donations and simply schedules an in-person coffee orientation at the Maison des Associations.
Joining the unpaid volunteer team of ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS means entering a reciprocal civic partnership grounded in kindness, child safety, and transparent democratic life under the Law of July 1, 1901.
Clear Role Definition & Professional Backing: Volunteers never carry solitary legal responsibility for a group of minors; a state-certified youth coordinator is always present on site at 7 Montée du Chastel or on trail excursions to manage overall safety and emergency procedures.
Full Insurance & Material Provision: Every registered volunteer is covered at zero personal cost under our comprehensive associative civil-liability and accident policy, and all workshop tools, craft materials, maps, and protective gear are supplied directly from the association’s public-interest budget.
Democratic Voice & Recognition: Volunteers are invited to pedagogical planning coffees, receive official French civic engagement certificates (attestation de bénévolat / compte d’engagement citoyen) upon request, and participate fully in Annual General Assembly deliberations.
Benevolence, Secular Neutrality & Inclusion: In keeping with republican popular-education principles, volunteers welcome every child aged 4 to 18 with equal patience and respect, refraining from any partisan, proselytizing, or commercial promotion inside youth spaces.
Punctuality & Team Communication: Whether committing to two hours every Tuesday for homework mentoring or one Saturday morning a month in the heritage garden, volunteers notify the Secretariat in advance if alpine weather or personal obligations prevent attendance so group supervision remains seamless.
Confidentiality & Child Dignity: Personal family situations, academic difficulties, or health accommodations observed during workshops remain strictly confidential, and volunteers never photograph minors on personal smartphones.
Preparing young residents for future social and professional responsibilities is a central pillar of ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS. Teenagers aged 16 to 18 living in Jausiers or neighboring Ubaye communes can apply through the form above to complete mentored junior-volunteer projects or practical BAFA youth-animation stages (stage pratique BAFA) during Wednesday and school-holiday sessions. Paired with our Lead Pedagogical Director, young trainees learn how to structure a 45-minute cooperative game for six-year-olds, ensure physical and emotional safety, communicate constructively with parents at evening pick-up, and evaluate team workshops—acquiring verified field skills for future educational, social, and civic careers.
Consistent with our 100% non-profit governance (RNA W041000115 · SIREN 430114058), we charge zero placement fees and solicit zero donations; all membership fees and dues are fully reinvested in the association's public interest missions.
No formal teaching diploma is required to volunteer alongside our salaried youth coordinators. What matters most is patience, reliability, respect for children’s diverse rhythms, and willingness to share a practical skill—whether helping an eight-year-old sound out paragraphs, teaching teens how to repair a bicycle inner tube, tending aromatic herbs in our garden, or accompanying a Saturday heritage walk around Jausiers.
Absolutely. Several of our most appreciated mentors are retired craftspeople, former health workers, and seasonal residents who spend autumn, winter, or spring months in Jausiers. During your introductory coffee at 7 Montée du Chastel, we match your calendar realistically—from weekly term-time slots to punctual holiday workshops—so volunteering remains joyful, sustainable, and genuinely helpful to youth cohorts.
