Ruelle de l’avenir

Énergir is one of the founding organizations of the Ruelle de l’avenir, which was created in 2008, a unique place where several hundred elementary school students from the Centre-Sud and Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighbourhoods can learn. This project mobilized several partners and required the efforts and expertise of many employees. In only a few months, Énergir created a space that offers young people hope for a better future and the tools required to begin to build it.

An employee committee organizes activities to enrich the daily lives of the school’s students, including a Christmas party for the younger kids and a career day for the older youths. All year long, the committee also offers help to children in difficulty.
