\u201cThe biggest strength of Je Passe Partout is our collaborative approach. (\u2026) We are active wherever we are needed, ensuring we find the right solutions for the challenges we face and building strong partnerships to make our interventions effective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since its creation, Je Passe Partout has grown considerably. The agency now works in four neighbourhoods in Montreal\u2019s east end: Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Mercier-Est, Mercier-Ouest and Saint-L\u00e9onard. Every year, it helps over 800 students aged 3 to 15 who have learning or behavioural problems or who are experiencing family issues. They are referred by the school or the health network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Je Passe Partout provides support directly at 12 schools (after class time), at one of the agency\u2019s 13 points of service, or directly at home with students, which gives the agency multiple avenues to work with families in a more comprehensive way. Overall, 150 families benefit from this support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMany of the families supported by Je Passe Partout are in situations of extreme poverty, and it\u2019s often difficult for them to juggle their various challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its collective approach and deep roots in the neighbourhoods it serves, the agency continues to provide essential support to vulnerable students. Its goal is always the same: to break the cycle of poverty by giving young people tools to succeed at school and, by extension, in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
