About the project

Sainte-Thérèse 1

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Since 1993, Sainte-Thérèse citizens and Chantiers jeunesse groups have been working together to transform an old gravel quarry in the heart of the city into a new green space. The Jardin des Sources has become a rich and diverse natural environment due to the work of many volunteers. A lake was even named after Chantiers jeunesse to honour these groups!

💼 What the programme involves

Work with the Sainte-Thérèse youth centre to help maintain the Jardin des Sources and other city sites in order to valorize green spaces. This will allow the local population, especially the elderly living close to the park, to continue enjoying the spectacular views and various activities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be sleeping in a college residence where they will have everything they need to cook their own meals. They will have internet access. Girls and boys will be accommodated in separate rooms.
