The mission of the DPJ Youth Foundation is to transform the vision that young people in the care of the DPJ have of their future by giving them the courage and confidence to believe in the realm of possibilities. In addition to advocating on behalf of young people in need of protection in Quebec, the Foundation mobilizes the public and allocates funds to supplement those provided by the government in order to respond quickly to specific, personalized needs.
The impact of your donation
The young people of the DYP have faced many challenges during their young lives, often marked by suffering and abandonment. Day after day, they strive to heal wounds and traumas that no young person should ever have to carry with them. The quest for stability and then for autonomy are the major challenges facing these young people. They are often without a family structure or a solid social safety net to support them. Their needs are numerous and often complex …
For each young person in the care of the DYP, the state allocates an amount that covers basic needs. However, to acquire the means and develop the confidence they need to take their place in society, young people need much more support, specifically adapted to their own reality.
