Notre Mission

RNA W041000115 · SIREN 430114058 · Jausiers (04850)

Notre Mission at ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS is to advance youth development, active citizenship, and collective community wellbeing across Jausiers and the wider Ubaye Valley as a strictly non-commercial, registered 100% non-profit Association loi 1901 operating exclusively in the public interest. Day after day outside formal school hours, we steward welcoming municipal youth spaces at the Maison des Associations and deliver structured educational, cultural, athletic, and environmental discovery programs tailored to children and young adults aged four to eighteen. By pairing qualified pedagogical facilitators with dedicated local volunteers, municipal institutions, and regional educational networks, we break rural isolation, cultivate mutual respect, safeguard physical and psychological health, transmit alpine heritage across generations, and prepare young citizens for thoughtful social and civic responsibility without ever pursuing private profit.

Core Extracurricular Pillars

Structured Programs Outside School Hours for Ages 4 to 18

Every Wednesday afternoon, weekday after-school window, and regional school holiday period, ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS transforms local municipal facilities and surrounding alpine trails into safe pedagogical environments. All initiatives operate strictly for public benefit without commercial fees or product sales.

Direct Community Assistance & Alpine Trail Stewardship

Our field educators and older teen cohorts collaborate directly with municipal technical services and local families in Jausiers to maintain educational discovery footpaths along the Ubaye riverbanks and lower Chastel slopes. Participants learn practical trail safety, topographical map reading, collective equipment care, and mutual assistance while ensuring working rural parents have dependable, supervised Wednesday and holiday educational reception. Every session strengthens youth autonomy, physical endurance, and concrete solidarity toward elderly village neighbors and shared communal spaces across all four alpine seasons, operating strictly within our non-commercial public-benefit framework.

Environmental Stewardship & Ubaye Cultural Heritage Outreach

Connecting Jausiers’ youngest generation with the living history of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, this program brings children aged four and above together with retired artisans, local historians, and alpine botanists. Young participants cultivate communal vegetable plots, learn traditional dry-stone wall conservation, document historic Barcelonnette and Jausiers architectural heritage, and study mountain water cycles. Through hands-on seasonal gatherings, families and elders forge lasting intergenerational bonds that preserve rural identity, encourage ecological mindfulness, and reinforce vibrant year-round social cohesion throughout our mountain municipality.

Bridging the Extracurricular Gap for Rural Alpine Families

Living in a high-altitude rural commune in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence presents distinct logistical realities for families and young people alike. Outside formal classroom hours at the local primary school in Jausiers and the secondary collège or lycée in neighboring Barcelonnette, geographic distances, winter weather conditions, and seasonal agricultural or mountain-hospitality work schedules can easily leave young residents isolated. ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS exists specifically to bridge that gap through reliable, year-round community infrastructure.

Rather than grouping all minors into an undifferentiated daycare hall, our pedagogical team structures operations into three developmental cohorts: Early Discovery (ages 4 to 7), Junior Explorers (ages 8 to 12), and Adolescent Civic Studio (ages 13 to 18). Younger children benefit from sensory motor games, storytelling rooted in Ubaye folklore, cooperative group crafts, and calm rest corners inside the Maison des Associations. Pre-adolescents transition into collaborative scientific experiments, team sports on municipal pitches, and introductory mountain orientation. Older teenagers gain supervised autonomy to organize cultural evenings, study peer-health topics, and co-manage local solidarity projects alongside municipal partners.

Every activity room, outdoor courtyard session, and off-site excursion adheres strictly to French Departmental Directorate standards for collective youth reception (Accueil Collectif de Mineurs), maintaining rigorous adult-to-youth supervision ratios, transparent parental communication, and inclusive accommodation for children with specific educational or health needs.

Rooting Citizenship in Local Traditions, Respect & Health Awareness

We view leisure time not as passive consumption, but as one of the most formative arenas where young citizens learn empathy, democratic cooperation, and personal balance. At ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS, every workshop embeds three foundational commitments: respect for others and shared public facilities, active physical and psychological health literacy, and living familiarity with Jausiers’ distinctive historical heritage—from traditional alpine irrigation channels and dry-stone masonry to the trans-Atlantic and European cultural history of the Ubaye Valley.

Physical wellbeing is cultivated through non-competitive outdoor movement across all seasons: snowshoe ecology walks in winter, riverside orienteering in spring, cooperative ball games, and nutritional cooking workshops using local valley produce. Equally vital is psychological health awareness. Our coordinators partner with regional youth counseling networks in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence to host age-appropriate dialogue circles addressing cyber-harassment prevention, sleep hygiene, exam stress, emotional expression, and peer listening.

By inviting retired village craftspeople, municipal archivists, trail wardens, and parents directly into these activities, young people experience Jausiers not as a quiet rural outpost to leave behind, but as a vibrant community where their voice, energy, and stewardship genuinely matter.

Collaborative Local Ecosystem

Working Hand-in-Hand with Municipal Bodies, Schools & Regional Networks

Effective youth development in a mountain municipality never happens in isolation. Since its founding in Jausiers, ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS has anchored its annual action plan within a transparent network of local public actors. We coordinate weekly schedules with municipal services of the Mairie de Jausiers to ensure smooth transitions between school dismissal, municipal sports facilities, library visits, and our headquarters at the Maison des Associations.

Beyond village boundaries, our pedagogical coordinators maintain active working relationships with public school teachers, parent-teacher associations, environmental educators from the Mercantour and Ubaye alpine sector, and departmental youth-information centers across Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (04). This institutional synergy enables rural youth in Jausiers to access theatrical performances, scientific discovery kits, civic service orientation, and regional youth exchanges without financial or geographic exclusion.

Whether you are a parent newly settled in the Ubaye Valley, a young resident looking for constructive after-school projects, a municipal partner, or a neighbor wishing to share a craft or athletic skill as an unpaid volunteer, our coordination desk welcomes direct inquiries year-round.

How Our Extracurricular Operations Adapt Across All Four Ubaye Seasons

Because mountain weather, daylight hours, and household working schedules shift dramatically between September and August in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS calibrates its pedagogical facilities and outdoor excursions to guarantee unbroken educational continuity across every season of the year.

Autumn Integration & Civic Launching (September – November)

As pupils return to the Jausiers primary classrooms and secondary schools in Barcelonnette, September opens with our annual Family Welcome Week at 7 Montée du Chastel. Parents meet cohort facilitators, establish individualized health or allergy protocols (PAI), and enroll children in after-school homework support and Wednesday studios. Throughout October and Toussaint holidays, youth groups harvest late mountain squash and herbs in our communal garden, refurbish wooden botanical markers along valley footpaths, and elect youth delegates for the Adolescent Civic Studio so teenagers shape their own annual project calendar from the very first term.

Winter Solidarity, Indoor Arts & Snow Ecology (December – March)

Winter is one of the busiest working periods for Ubaye Valley parents employed in alpine resorts, road maintenance, hospitality, and commerce. While temperatures drop outside, the Maison des Associations provides heated creative workshops in theatrical expression, woodworking, astronomy, cooperative board games, and peer health dialogues on sleep and screen balance. On bright Wednesdays and February holiday weeks, certified educators lead non-competitive snowshoe ecology walks—using our free associative winter-clothing loan locker so every child participates warmly regardless of household budget.

Spring Biodiversity, Heritage & First-Aid Readiness (April – June)

As snowmelt feeds the Ubaye River and historic village irrigation canals (béals), spring cohorts move outdoors into hands-on environmental science and local history. Children aged 4 to 11 sow hardy alpine seeds alongside retired village gardeners and study pollinating insects, while adolescents aged 13 to 18 complete PSC1 civic first-aid workshops, practice dry-stone terrace conservation with local artisans, and prepare visual exhibitions celebrating Jausiers’ architectural and cultural heritage.

Summer Collective Camps & Inter-Village Exchanges (July – August)

Across eight summer holiday weeks when formal schools close, ASSOCIATION VIVRE JEUNE A JAUSIERS operates full-day non-commercial youth reception from 08:30 to 18:00. Weeks are organized around collaborative themes—mountain cartography, outdoor theatre in stone courtyards, water-cycle science, and joint sports days with neighboring rural youth centers—giving local youngsters memorable summer friendships while mentoring 16-to-18-year-old BAFA trainees in their first supervised educational responsibilities.
