Solution
Emmaüs Défi is an association with a social integration project whose main activity is the collection, sorting and recycling of donated objects. Its mission is to help people in very precarious situations to find a lasting way out of this situation through these activities.
The association is founded on these 3 principles: everyone can work, access to a job is an effective means of breaking the spiral of exclusion, and commitment to others is a source of self-esteem.
The only requirement to be hired in the integration worksite is the desire to work and to be accompanied. Access to a job that adapts to the individual, complemented by support for the person, is the essential lever of the action.

Emmaüs Campüs on university campuses!
Emmaüs Campüs, created by Emmaüs Défi in 2021, is a work integration project dedicated to young people experiencing exclusion.
Emmaüs Campüs aims to mobilize young people in the fight against extreme precariousness. How? By offering complete commitment paths punctuated by internship, volunteer or civic service immersions, but also awareness-raising actions, or support in developing committed projects. 👊
This month, Emmaüs Campüs has invited itself onto the campuses of various universities to meet students and offer them essential items at low prices!
Emmaüs Campüs visited the University of Paris 8 for the 9th edition of the Grand 8 Festival, where they were able to raise awareness of our actions in favor of students in precarious situations, and offer low-cost essential items to help them equip themselves. 🤝
Emmaüs Campüs also visited the campus of the Université de Cergy to offer an off-site sale to students. Nearly 120 students had the opportunity to discover our association, and equip themselves at low prices. 🙌
These events would not be possible without the hard work, motivation and commitment of our salaried employees, volunteers and the Campüs team.
Thank you all! ✨

It's a celebration of the departures of employees on integration programs towards professional training or interesting positions. 🎉
It's taking part in events organized by the Emmaus Movement, and meeting dozens of other groups to exchange on everyone's practices.
It's collective activities, like the annual convivial day with permanent and integration employees, or being in the stands for the cecifoot semi-final during the Paris 2024 Games. ⚽

Why we love it?
It is our duty as a society not to leave any citizen behind. Emmaüs Défi is committed to offering solutions that enable homeless people to reintegrate into the world of work at their own pace, all by collecting and recycling objects: the perfect project to accelerate the social and ecological transition.
Successful accompaniment isn't just about someone finding a job. The key is to listen, to make them feel that you believe in them, and not to pass judgment.
