Democracy at the MDJ du Plateau
Democracy plays a primordial role in our house, where everyone is invited to express themselves through various instances. Some members are part of the governing council, others participate in the youth committee, and everyone is involved in the monthly meetings, as well as in the AGA.

Introduction to our collective entrepreneurship cooperative
We help young people set up their own work co-op to provide services in the community. These activities allow them to:
-
Learn about the job market, from the concept of cooperatives to entrepreneurship.
-
Create their own service cooperative and promotional tools
-
Master the components of an administrative board and working committees
-
Create a CV and pass a job interview
-
Write contracts
-
Manage a small café in Baldwin park
-
Earn some pocket money
This summer, eleven teenagers created a coop. They offered multiple services for the community, like babysitting, gardening, housekeeping, etc. We were in charge of their training and we helped them administer the coop themselves. This project helped them develop good leadership and management skills. They also learned the basics of accounting, workforce management, maketing and advertising.
