AJOI - Action Jeunesse de l'Ouest-de-l'Île

A story of goodwill

AJOI was founded in Sainte-Genevieve in 2007. During its first year of existence, AJOI worked mainly to establish and maintain intervention services in relation to being with young people aged 12 to 25 at risk and / or in difficulty in the West Island of Montreal. Noting the need and the lack of resources in the sector, the organization then opened its services to vulnerable people of all ages, focusing on several issues such as homelessness, drug addiction, mental health, legalization, poverty, social exclusion, violence and sexual health. AJOI has come a long way since its founding and is now a recognized organization that helps thousands of young people and vulnerable people every year.
