Story
Apprentis d’Auteuil (founded in 1929) is a Catholic state approved foundation that welcomes, educates and trains over 13,000 children in trouble to allow them to integrate back into society, as independent and responsible adults. It is committed to providing children comprehensive support and aims to help them to re-learn how to live and reintegrate into society.
These young people may be nominated by their families or by the youth welfare services. They each receive individually tailored support in a reassuring environment to go ahead in learning about life.
Following our two days at the school in Orly spending time decorating a gym, painting facilities, creating artwork with the kids and teaching them songs (Oh The Okey Kokey!) our group was captivated, mobilised and committed ourselves to continue to support and raise funds for this fantastic organisation that makes a real difference to kids lives – all about learning and living and developing youngsters – an ideal close to all our hearts.
