ICI- Jeunesse

ICI-Jeunesse is committed to providing individualized support to young people aged 14 to 25, focusing on welcoming them, actively listening to them, and understanding their needs. They help these young people find specialized services such as training, sports teams, extracurricular activities, and employability opportunities. In addition, they provide ongoing follow-up to resolve problems and encourage young people to persevere in their projects. To promote the integration of young people in Quebec, they organize a variety of group and individual activities, as well as information sessions on important topics such as sexism, bullying, alcohol and drug use, racism, sex education, social media, rights and laws. They also play a crucial role in facilitating communication between young people, their families and youth services, while raising community awareness of the importance of personalizing services for immigrant youth. In addition, they actively promote ICI services and are involved in various activities and meetings to support the development and integration of young people into Quebec society.

ICI- School

Since 2006 at CANA, ICI-scolaire (Intervenant.es communautaires interculturel.les – scolaire, formerly ICSI) has been supporting immigrant families in their integration process and in their children’s schooling in Ahuntsic elementary school (currently mainly at Saints-Martyrs-Canadiens).
Our ICI-scolaire act as intercultural mediators between immigrant parents and the school team, raising the latter’s awareness of the reality of immigrant families and encouraging them to adapt their practices. Likewise, through group activities such as information sessions, ICIs inform newly arrived parents about the Quebec school system and the school’s expectations of them.
Intercultural school interveners support and accompany families in their difficulties, and refer them where necessary to various community, social and health services.
