Proxité sets up mentoring schemes between company employees and young people in difficulty, to help them with their schooling and professional integration.
Why Proxité ?
We particularly chose to locate Proxité in Romans-sur-Isère because this sponsorship association helps young people discover the world of work : each young person is supported by a volunteer who is a company employee. Each young person is supported by a volunteer who is a company employee, who can help his or her godchild by providing academic support, cultural discoveries, guidance in choosing a career path, and so on.
And this model works : both parties are satisfied, with over 90% of sponsors and godchildren saying that the sponsorship is useful to them, 90% of young people passing their baccalaureate and 75% achieving their job search, work-study or internship objectives out of the 3,000 young people sponsored since 2020.
Beneficiaries supported by Proxité
Young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods.
