Fondation Jeunes en Tête (FJET) is proud to announce the deployment of its first permanent team in Quebec City. The team will allow the Foundation to increase its impact and support for young people in the Capitale-Nationale area and throughout Eastern Quebec. Éric Bujold, Chairman of the Foundation’s Board of Directors, made the announcement at a press conference held on the occasion of the 13th Quebec City Mayor’s Ball, in the presence of the city’s mayor, Bruno Marchand.

“By setting up a permanent team outside Montreal, Fondation Jeunes en Tête will be able to take part in the local community and create a lasting impact in the Capitale-Nationale and Eastern Quebec regions. We’re especially proud of this milestone in our Foundation’s history. A special thanks goes to the business community of the Greater Quebec City area for their generosity over the years through the Mayor’s Ball. Their unwavering support for the cause of teen mental health has given us the means to offer more and more young people hope,” said Mélanie Boucher, President and CEO, Fondation Jeunes en Tête.

“This is an important chapter in the ongoing development of our outreach activities across Quebec. The Foundation’s increased presence in Eastern Quebec will enable us to forge even stronger ties with local communities and be even more agile and in tune with the frontline realities of school teams. We are now positioned to make a bigger difference by bringing our turnkey awareness workshops to more young people,” explained Antoine Beaudoin-Gentes, Program Director, Fondation Jeunes en Tête.
