Solution
At the start of their careers, athletes are not helped by Federations, nor supported by sponsors, despite their potential.
Génération Avant Garde awards scholarships to talented youngsters, to finance studies, sports training, equipment, disability-friendly materials, travel to national and international competitions.
This support enables them to reach their best levels, pursue their studies, realize their dreams of champion and build their future.
The action contributes to a more inclusive society where everyone can flourish and achieve their goals.

Our young talent medals at the Paralympic Games!
We're proud because Manon Genest, a para-athlete specializing in the long jump, won a bronze medal at the Paralympic Games on Sunday evening.
Supported in 2023 by our "Jeune Talent" project to finance her internships and international competitions, our help enabled her to evolve and reach her best levels, which she was able to realize at the JOP.
Manon is also a young mother who has succeeded in reconciling family life, professional life and top-level sport, despite all the constraints that this entails.

A chair for rugby
Pierre Botte is 25 and lives in Bidart. He was amputated following a road accident in 2021. A keen sportsman, he used to play rugby and pelota. He returned to rugby, but in a wheelchair. He now needs a new chair to practice in better conditions and achieve better performances.
Our mission today is to find funding from private donors or companies to finance this chair and enable him to continue his journey.
