The Civic Service at the Heart of Disadvantaged Neighborhoods: A Valuable Tool

Latest News

“45% unemployment rate among young people living in priority neighborhoods (QPV) and 600,000 young people without activity”: the Borloo report released in May 2018 is alarming and calls for a “general mobilization of stakeholders” to promote the integration and employment of neighborhood residents.


Civic Engagement and Youth Integration: Key Focus Areas of the Civic Service at the Heart of Priority Neighborhood Issues

Known for having inspired the Civic Service and for its commitment to its development, Unis-Citรฉ is also a player in the integration of young people from neighborhoods, where it conducts numerous activities. Nearly 2,000 of them are welcomed each year by the association, and 60% of the missions assigned to Unis-Citรฉ volunteers are carried out in the heart of popular neighborhoods.

Moreover, Unis-Citรฉ has just been designated as an “organizing association for QPV” by the General Commission for Territorial Equality (CGET). And it doesn’t plan to stop there: its goal is to do everything possible to make the Civic Service accessible to all young people, as well as to stakeholders, especially associations, in QPV.

A Device with Proven Impact: To Be Deployed!

With 25 years of experience and more than 25,000 young people mobilized and supported, including over 5,000 from neighborhoods, many of whom lack qualifications, Unis-Citรฉ has gathered evidence of the Civic Service’s impact in addressing the issues of priority neighborhoods:

The Civic Service is a springboard for civic and professional integration for young people: 82% of all former Unis-Citรฉ volunteers are employed or in training 6 months after the end of their service…and 76% of those who were out of school and unemployed beforehand (= 44% of the young people welcomed by Unis-Citรฉ).
